Hello ladies my journey has been a long one in finally discovering I have Brest implant illness. I'm excited to say I see a light at the end of my tunnel. My Explant is October 31st and I'm counting the days to take the toxic silicone/saline bags out. Don't believe what the plastic surgeons say that there safe. There Not..

I have had my implants out 2 weeks ago....and look forward to see if some of my autoimmune issues get better....I miss my large breast but at 59 they dont have the meaning thye had at 29....I got a infection and that is why they had to come out...so I will just have to get use to my new look....lift in the future...who knows....re implant....no way if my health issues get better. I never thought my issues were caused by my implants...from what I have read....I also worked in the O.R....in this field.....had silicone removed saline put in....and still the same issues....time will tell. I do believe since they are a foreign body some of our bodies react to them as they are a irratiant....as many have breast implants till they die with out a single issue. Good luck....my breast do look a bit weird at this time....but too soon to see what the full outcome will be. I had the enbloc with drains....and surgery plus recovery has not really been a issue. Please keep us updated and share as you go on this journey...we are in the same boat!!!!~

Good for you!! You are so close! yes it's sad isn't it the way most of them promote the implants! Recently my new primary care diagnosed me with several auto immune disorders and at the same time she told me I should not get my implants taken out because that would " only make me feel worse about myself " hmmmm. Prayers for you I'm sure it will all go well !!

So clothes are set out ,ate dinner,and watching jersey housewives....
So freaked that I'm going to alter and have surgery on my boobs tomorrow. I have fear that they will look yucky for ever. I had the implants put in through my belly button in the first place just because of nipple scars and now I'm getting my worst fear which is the full anchor scar. I pray they come out great and pray I feel better like all the other Brest implant illness ladies on here. I pray I feel my nipples, I pray my nipples don't get infected.
Lastly I did a hair analysis to see what my toxicity levels where and uranium, copper and tin were high what ever that means so first things first remove the toxic bags.....I'll let you guys know how it goes and post pics later love you all and thanks for all the support.

Ok so I'm not going to lie for me personally it was ruff. I could not take the pain meds because they made me nauseous. So I had to suck it up and deal with the pain which was not fun.really the drains were almost unbearable the first week. but I do want to say once there are out it's way better and manageable. They have healed nice with just one set back which seems to be quit common on my last best at the T junction there's a hole the size of a nickel. I've looked on real self to see if anyone looked like mine and could not find that. My ps said it can happen and it will heal. It just looks really scary to see a big hole in my boob. Also all kinds of neck problems because you really can only sleep on your back which gets old real soon. On the lighter side I feel a difference in my body no more joint pain and I have to say as of just recent I feel a bit more clear headed. I have no regrets getting the plastic toxic bags out and I'm happy that parts behind me.

Body starting to feel more relaxed inside that's the only way to explain it. I feel I made the right decision even with a complication on one boob with a hole. My ps is confident it will heal. I have not regrets!!!!

How are you doing to this date? Speedy recovery !

Ok so 5 months have passed hole closed. The scars you can barely see.i have no regrets my boobs are smaller but no plastic inside me anymore. I won't lie it was a bit painful but the pain you forget it's only a moment in time and it's over. Your health is most important. I have been going to a naturopathic doctor starting a couple of weeks ago to help me on the healing end of my body recuperating from having the implants. I definitely notice a difference in the way my body feels . If you question that your implants cause you to feel sick and then listen to what your body is telling you .
