One happy girl

I hope this actually posts, twice previously I've tried and it's just disapeared into the ether.....
My implants are 12 years old, silicone unders, put in through the armpit. I was always an A cup which I hated, and got the surgery after I stopped breastfeeding my son (I was 31). I developed a mild capsule on the right side almost immediately. I have had a few health issues of late (thyroid) and I've decided I want to be as healthy as possible, so these plastic bags are going! I just want to be free and natural, and I'm really looking forward to the day these things are out. My surgery is booked for September 19th, my PS will be removing them through the armpit so I won't have any scars, and he said that my skin is good, I have tissue and no sagging, so I won't need a lift. I'll post pics soon :)

My boobs don't actually look all that big in these pics, as I took them with a wide angle lens. Sometimes they can look huge, depending on what I'm wearing. The PS pointed out that they are too far up my chest, so all the fullness is on top, which is why he thinks I won't need a lift as the bottom of my breasts hasn't been stretched. If that makes any sense. I've always disliked the fact that they seem to bulge right out straight from my breastbone. Can't wait to have normal droopy breasts like a normal 43 year old mum, and not have these ridiculous things in my chest. Just thinking about it now is making me feel queasy!

And I turned 43! Hopefully I've finally grown up and am now ready to accept my body the way it is meant to be. Now I've made the decision and have the surgery booked for September 19th, I just can't wait to have them out. I've been really aware of how dumb these implants look on me, like I have a sofa stuffed under my chest. Way too high and matronly for my petite figure. I want to be able to wear shift dresses again, like Kate Moss.
I am concerned about the recovery time, and how long it will be till I can go to the gym. I tend to overdo things, after I had my implants in I really didn't take the time to recover, and one week later was pushing my toddler in his pram up the steep hill to our house and gave myself a muscle spasm which had me in an ambulance doped up on morphine. So any advice on how long to rest and when people were back to the gym would be most appreciated.
The other interesting thing is that this time I've had to save for surgery, and boy, when you have to save you somehow do it! Big lesson for me - I'm going to keep saving after the op for a new car, rather than put it on credit. Guess these implants are teaching me life lessons all round.
