5 months after my explant and still doing great!

It's been 5 months since my implants out! After 4 months of my implants out, my Lupus is back in remission Yay! Kidney doing great!! Dbl yay! Still problems with my anxiety, and breathing problems, but getting better.. Everything else I had, joint pains,chronic pain in chest and body,neck and back pains, fybermalgia, chest pains shooting from my chest to my back on my left side, stiffness and pains in my left arm and my wrist, stingy burning pains I'm my hands and feet, blood shot, red irratated eyes that was very sensitive to the light, headaches, lungs all gone after my explant!! I'm back to working out slowly, but eventually HOPEFULLY will get back to where I was before I GOT MY IMPLANTS in, and thats Working out 5-6 days a week, and to get back to being a personal fitness trainer. I'm now in training for the Seattle Rock N Roll run in June of 2016. I'm getting back on the right track again! I'm am thankful that I figured out the problem and got the problem situated! After being sick with health problems for 10.5 months after my implants were in. I'm happy, grateful, and thankful,that I'm getting back to my healthy self again after getting my Implants out! Im on the other side!! Again, thank you Dr. Lisa Sowder for doing a wonderful job!

My health is doing great!!

I am now 36 days out from my explant! I'm doing great! My energy is back! I am back to work. Almost 3weeks in. I am now going back to the gym. Starting out very slowly. I still cannot work out on my chest,for my muscles are still healing, but I do workout my lower body very slowly for right now.

17 days after explant!

I am feeling better day by day! No shooting pain from my chest to my back! No joint pains, back and neck pains! My red sensitive eyes went away! No more waking up with joint pain and eyes watering trying to open them because they hurt and so sensitive to the light. No more head aches! My energy is picking up. My anxiety is very low now! I still had a couple of flares two days after surgery and a week out. But none this week. Yay! I was told from last surgeon, that my chest would sink in and would be a A cup. I was distrauted by that comment. The best part is my new surgeon Lisa Sowder said I would probably be a B- C cup when getting explant. That brought a smile to my face, and my chest only sinks in just a little, Even better! I also went to get my swollen lymph nodes checked again,(before my explant) my lymph nodes on my left side underpit unusual large, which hurt. Went in today good news! He can't find them! No pain under arm pits any more! Hurray! Went to see Dr Sowder and said that I look very happy which I do! I'm happy because I feel good! My health is doing better! Even though I don't have what I wanted and that was my implants that was supposed to bring up my confidence, but instead it brought health down quickly! I'm starting to love now, my new Self, smaller size in breast, and chose to have a healthy life, be a happy wife and mom all back once again! Not one negative comment came out of Dr.Sowders mouth, all positive!! I like how she said you will feel better now! Thank you Dr. Sowder for bringing back my confidence back again! Thank you! Thank you! I can't waite to be fully back, to my energetic, healthy self again!!
