31 Yr Old....LOVING my "new/old" self again!!

My story is pretty similar to many that I have read on this site. I started out as a 36B and as a teen I always knew that I would be getting implants one day. I had nice breasts but as many of you know, we are always seeking to "better" our appearances. When i was old enough to get the procedure done, I did & was very pleased with the outcome. I did enjoy them very much, so I don't entirely regret my decision. BUT fast forward two children later,I began experiencing back pain. The heaviness of the implants have taken its toll on me & I finally decided, enough is enough!! They are enormous & hard, I am very uncomfortable & find my self trying to hide them with layers of clothing. Luckily, I have the best husband in the world, he is very supportive & understanding and I'm thankful to have him by my side as I go through this transition in my life. The same PS that did my initial BA will be the one removing them. He did not once try to change my mind or try to get me to go smaller (and I thanked him for that!). He basically said,its my decision & he wants me to be happy. I inquired about a breast lift, but he said to wait & see how they look after I give them time to heal and decide from that point. He mentioned that many woman are happy with the results and do not get the lift. The removal will include removal of the capsules and I will have to have the drains for about 3-4 days. I am MORE nervous now,than when I initially had the BA done....I guess because now I have two small children to think about. I just want to feel FREE again & actually enjoy hugging & wrestling with my kids without the uncomfortable feeling that I have now. I want to have energy & so much so that I look forward to running!! lol and I have never been one to go running!! hehe! I am five days away from explant & it can't come soon enough!! Oh yea, I forgot to mention that I am now a 36DD (400cc). Whatever the outcome is, I will be happy with my decision because it beats feeling like crap everyday trying to hold these things up. Thanks to this site for the encouragement & support!! I will post some pics when I get the chance :-) August 6th is the date of my procedure. I cannot wait!!

Now it's sinking in that my explant is finally going to happen!! I can feel the nerves kicking in, but that's normal. I will be thinking of all you that have shared your stories & it will help me to get through these days ahead.
