I am very pleased to have my natural boobs back. I am a 38 D due to the fact I have gained weight but now I am not bulging out over them. The bra fits the way it is supposed to

Had my explant 3days ago and am so relieved. Have been taking it easy as I have had some help which has been so nice. Had hoped for no drains but needed them. I am bigger than I expected to be. My ps was awesome and I highly recommend him for anyone in Oklahoma City. Will update more later.

Congratulations, nana!! You look great and once you get the drains out, you'll feel so much more comfortable. Take care!

I am so happy to have the implants out!! I definitely have a lot more breast tissue than I thought I would. I love soft natural breasts! Had not remembered just how soft they were supposed to be. I am pretty sore but got the drains out today so that is a step in the right direction! Good luck to all who are about to embark on the journey of the "explant". It is well worth it. Thanks to all who shared and continued to share their journey after explant. Most of us have needed that reassurance and experience as all women want to know what to expect next. The scarey stories and all the fears we face are much worse than anything out there. Will post more pics later.

I saw my PS yesterday for my pre op examination and lab, Xrays and EKG. He is such a compassionate and encouraging dr. I am completely confident I will be in very good hands. He assures me that I will have plenty of breast tissue left after explant and removal of capsules and should be free of much of my back pain. I am sure hoping to be free of many of the "little" aches and pains that have come with these implants that are basically "unexplainable". They are just plain uncomfortable much of the time. Also just have aches in my shoulders and mid back from the weight. This set is 28 years old so I have definitely gotten the "good" out of them if there is such a thing. I am so ready to move on to the next phase of "being natural". I have surgery on the 5th of June and this is May 21st so I am getting so close and really I am not that apprehensive thanks to this site. It has helped me make the decision to explant and wonder why I didn't pursue it earlier. I have to wonder why we all thought these big jugs were so desirable. When I weighed less they weren't this big but still like my PS told me, the natural boob is a tear drop shape not round ball shape! I highly recommend him for someone in the OKC area looking for a PS. Happy to answer any questions as I am so grateful to these wonderful women who so willingly open up and share the most intimate details of this surgery. Without the honesty, pictures, etc. most of us would probably not go forward with explantation. Thank you brave women who have gone before me. I will post the post surgery pictures although mine will not be perky like all the young things on this site. I am 65 and have an extremely great life. I know there are some of us "sixties" women on here who can still kick up our heels with the best of them! LOL.

Can't wait for you to be on the other side with us. Honestly just a little soreness - not the big deal that I was afraid of. I am almost 4 wks post op and would do it again in a heartbeat!

How exciting, Nana!! I hope that you and your family are safe after the horrendous tornado yesterday.
May 30, 2013
Thanks for the good thoughts. The tornado was awful but thankfully it didn't hit in my part of town, it was all around us and there was major damage to so many areas! Part of living in Oklahoma but you never get used to it!! On the explant side, I will be glad to get it over. I think it does take a process to get there mentally to be ready to change everything, although I don't feel I will have one regret! I am tired of carrying them around and anxious to make them a part of my past! Funny how they seem to take on a life of their own! So grateful to hear from you and the others, it does make one not feel so alone!

Glad to hear that you and yours made it through the hurricane safely. It is definitely a process to get ready to explant and then another process to heal and adjust to your new breasts. Ultimately, it's so worth it! Next week for you!!

Thinking of you tonight; I know you're getting real close to your surgery date. It's amazing how fast it comes and goes. I can honestly say that at 5 weeks post surgery almost all soreness is gone so that I'm not thinking of my boobs every minute of every day!
May 30, 2013
Yes, getting very close and oh so ready! Just want it to be over so I can move on to the healing side. It takes a while to get ready mentally I think even though we all say we want them out! I have been reading since January on this site and have really read some good things and information so feel like am as prepared as one can be when leaping off a cliff! I know I will be healthier not having foreign objects in my body even though I have let them rent space for almost 38 years altogether (counting both sets). Thanks so much for the kind words. Only 6 more days til Explant Day!!
