'fasting' DETOX begins :)

I am a little over 5 weeks out from my explant and I won't lie it has been trying at times (exacerbated symptoms right after surgery-horrid mental fog, headaches, no energy, then post surgery infection) BUT I feel like I am moving in the right direction! I started doing a major detox on Monday(today is Thursday) and I really feel good, for all the instant gratification people out there... no I don't feel symptom free, but I have more level energy all day! I am doing a fasting cleanse with a Metagenics product(plus all of my recommended detox and supportive supplements) and then lots and lots of water. I have had lymphatic drainage massages, acupuncture, still maintain my chiropractic routine, and do nightly epsom salt baths. My plan is to stick to this as long as I am feeling well, then add back in my clean eating routine. My mental state is so much better and I just feel like I am starting to feel changes happening (may be strange to say, but it is an almost overpowering positive feeling going on- if that makes sense).
I'll keep updating as I progress!! Thanks for all the support and for anyone contemplating explant for health reasons- do it!

4 weeks post op & photos

I think overall I am good with my progress. I still have illness symptoms, but the post surgery flare up is now calming back down. I have some lymphedema because of the nodes removed that I am going to start massage for. I was delayed because of a post surgery infection, but I am going to start detox Monday- am already eating clean and supplementing but will add in fasting. Some of my nervy-pain from surgery is better and my fog is definitely better. I didn't get to say anything about the ruptured implant on my last set of pictures(accidentally posted before update). This is the 'cohesive gel' that is supposed to be safe and NOT TRAVEL in your body. Search this on real self: Natrelle Cohesive Silicone Gel Implants: if Ruptured Do They Cause Any Harm to the Surrounding Tissue?
Scroll all the way down to the video where they cut it in half. "A photo/video is worth 1000 words"... VERY DECEIVING and many physicians suggest that there is no way that it can travel unless the capsule tears with some devastating blow. This video cuts a brand new implant in half- no one mentions that once this implant ruptures, your body starts trying to break it down. My implant that I got back from pathology is a gooey rubber cement-like substance that has coated the entire inside of the container. This implant leaked to 7 of my lymph nodes(and in the years to come I will know what other damage it has done) -IT IS NOT SAFE. I never had an accident or blow to my chest and I only had them in me for 4 years. This false sense of safety that is pushed by the plastic surgery community is disturbing.

I will start off by saying that I really liked Dr. Kolb and got along with her well- felt very comfortable. I believe she is one of the top physicians who performs explant surgery. Not only does she do the procedure but she literally wrote the book on breast implants and the toxic illness that can happen with some individuals. She believes in natural/supplement holistic healing as well as through standard medicine practices. Dr. Kolb is not going to be the physician for everyone, she is very eccentric but I believe from the first day I met her I was in the right place with the right set of eyes and hands working to heal me. If you have had any sickness/symptoms that you think might be related to your implants- GO HERE... She is the best and you can tell she truly cares a lot.
