Finally getting my life back after many years of upset and pain.
Hi to all of you lovely Realself ladies
It's been a while since I checked in but as today is my 1 year anniversary I thought I would drop by and say hi to everyone and give you a little update.
1 year ago at this exact time, I was in the operating theatre at Little Aston Hospital in Birmingham England having my implants removed, my breasts lifted and 3 x lymph nodes filled with silicone removed from my armpits. The surgery went really well, my recovery was pain free and my results from day one were/are the best boobs that I have EVER had !!! Thank you Mrs Kat, you are wonderful :-)
I still have issues with my immune system, I do still suffer with ME, I no longer have the active life like I used to have but these things are just part of life, I look at them as a temporary blip that I will get completely well from with time. I am at least 70% better than last year and the only way is up from here :-)
I try not to have regrets about my life, but if I could change just one thing then I would NEVER EVER have had implants or messed about with my boobies at all, I wish that I had just learned to live with how my body had changed after having my babies.
The surgeon that gave me those huge/ugly implants used to tell me how well he slept at nights, he had a clear conscience about the surgeries that he performed and gave everything 100%. Well if only he had just been honest instead and told me and other unsuspecting ladies what you have to go through when the time comes to take those implants out, it's a very hard decision and a very stressful time when waiting for the surgery day to arrive not to mention the worry over the outcome! But if I had to make the decision again I would have no hesitation - natural every time that's my motto from now on and I will tell my story over and over if just one women reads it and decides not to have implants - job done!!!
I just took some pics to put up, hopefully you will agree that my small boobs suit me more than the huge melons that I had before. Now I just need to tone the rest of my body up to match up to my lovely chest.
Good luck to all of the ladies going through removal, always know that you are making the right choice xxxxxxxxxxxx

Getting my life back
Should have added these pics to my update
Getting my life back
Hi girls, well it's been 9 months now since my explant and lift. I was going to wait until the 12months mark to update but a few ladies on here have very kindly been asking after my health and progress so I thought that I would do a short update and add some pics that I took today.
I will NEVER for one second regret the decision to remove those horrible looking implants that I had. When I look back now at the before explant photos, I laugh at how comical they looked, no wonder I was always trying to hide them away!
When I was searching for a good surgeon to remove and do the other surgeries that I required, I came across some nasty, horrible ones along the way. There was one that agreed silicone is bad and never uses it in his reconstructions on breast patients yet would not do the removal for me in case he ended up in court because I didn't like how they looked, after all he did say that they would look all wrinkly and empty. Well just yesterday I went to my local breast clinic to check out 2 small lumps, they turned out to be scar tissue. And yes he was the consultant that I saw, he said that he recognised me from some where so I took the liberty of informing him just exactly where and how he knew me!
When I stripped off and sat on the edge of the hospital bed, he came round the curtain and said wow what an excellent result, he even went as far as to tell me that I now had -quote " beautiful breasts and nice cleavage" Ha ha it just goes to show that there are good surgeons like Mrs Kat (did my op) and there are crappy surgeons like him, and obviously he didn't want to do the op because he knows he isn't that good.
I love my new boobies but just wish that the rest of my body felt as good. One day I know that it will and until then I will keep on trucking :-)
Take care all of you lovely Realself ladies and get the message out there that real boobs are the best boobs xxxxxxxxxxxx

Provider Review
Was given the surgeons name by a lovely lady on this site and then my previous surgeon emailed me and recommended her. I have only given 3 stars as wait time was very long due to her being really popular, but I really didn't mind this.The hospital messed up my payments so that was nothing to do with my surgeon and 1 star missing from time spent with me as she was running 4 hours late but again it was worth it. 5/1/13 You might notice that I have changed some of the star ratings, this is due to several things - I will explain in my update post.
