It's Time to See It Through. Nashville, TN

I am continuing to be amazed at how much better I feel. I have so much more energy on most days. I still have some days I feel fatigued but nothing like it prior to ex-plant. I am not hurting all over in my muscles and bones.

I do still have tinnitus. That may not go away but so many others symptoms are gone or lessened I will not complain.

If anyone is having profound fatigue and illnesses I would say get the implants removed by a good surgeon. No doctor will say it is the implants making us sick or it may be the implants. But there are too many of us that know better. Get your life back and tell others how much better you feel!!

Good luck to all of you,

In just a few days I will be three months post op. Just wanted to let everyone know I am doing well. I am definitely improving health wise. I have more energy. I do not hurt all over in my muscles and joints. I have not had any dizziness since the surgery. I am not having any bladder pain but still have urgency. I am still having tinnitus. I have awakened in the mornings recently feeling clear headed, no fogginess. I have been able to get up and go walking early which before I was too tired. My husband has noticed a difference in me. He said that I seem much better so I know it is not just in my head. I have hope that I will continue to improve and regain my health. I wanted to give others hope that if they are sick and have the implants removed they have a chance of feeling much better. After surgery I did not feel a difference for several weeks. I thought maybe It was not the implants that made me sick. But as days and weeks passed I realized I am feeling better. My mind is much clearer and I do not hurt like I did for years. Before I felt I was in a fog especially first thing in the morning. Now I can get up and be active!! That is amazing to me. I know for sure it was the implants that made me sick for so many years. I can't go back but I in tend to enjoy the rest of my life and be as healthy as I can be. I wish all of you health and happiness!!

No regrets on the surgery. So happy I went through the surgery as I believe most of us are. I pray that the ones that are not happy about the explantation will have their issues resolved and feel good about themselves. We all deserve to be happy. My breasts seemed to be at a steady size at the moment. No more shrinking. Looks like I am a 36 B. The professional at Dillard's said I was a 34 C but I was not comfortable in that size. At the top of the cup I do not fill out completely in some of my bras but it's ok. I haven't experienced any other changes except the entire time I had the implants my breasts were super sensitive. Did not like for them to be touched much at all. Very uncomfortable. I thought I had nerve damage from the surgery. Well, great news. My breasts are no longer sensitive. It does not hurt to touch or massage them now. If I had known that 26 years ago I would have had them taken out then. I was afraid I would end up with more damage. I guess the implants were pressing on nerves the entire time. So if anyone else is experiencing hypersensitivity it may not be permanent. Yeah!! As far as my health I think I am feeling a little less fatigued. Hard to tell because it is so very hot outside in TN. I still have the tinnitus and itchy ears which I pray will go away. I am not hurting as much all over in my muscle and joints and my bladder seems less painful. I will let you know if I continue to improve. Lately I have started having really bad headaches. Has anyone else gotten severe headaches following explantation? Not sure what's wrong. May be a whole other problem or maybe it has to do with healing.
You guys are wonderful and I wish all of you the best. Thank you so much.
