Hospital called today to reschedule explant surgery.....to tomorrow!!
Feel a bit unorganised as i had my to do list all prepared and now it wont get done, but i would happily throw that list away to be free of these implants.
I took some before photos and was shocked to see how huge and droopy they are after some weight gain ????
I dont expect anything pretty poat explant but im prepared for that and accept it happily.

Thanks for listening everyone. I appreciate the stories before mine which have helped me to come to this decision.
I will post again post operatively.

How did it go? I had removal on January 2017 due to a chronical infection on my right breast. Now I am totally happy with my natural breasts, nevermindig that one is much bigger then the other one and that they are hanging a bit ;-)

Got the Bra 10 days to go

Hi Ladies,
I have ordered and received my compression bra. For those of you in Australia i got it from Exquisite bodies, they do a whole range of surgical garments. I am not sure of the quality as i have nothing to compare it to but it looks pretty standard. It was $39 free delivery :-)
This is probably TMI sorry for that ... i developed a cold sore on my bottom lip out of the blue. I have never had one before and it is really bad timing with only 10 days to go i want to be in the best health. I have been on the public waiting list for almost a year for my explant surgery so i am TERRIFIED it will be cancelled or postponed.
I have the surgi sponges to shower with before surgery and some front opening garments to wear pre and post explant. I wonder how my shirt will fit after :) TBH its all i want to talk about i think my family are OH SO OVER talking about my boobs i just wish the wait was over. I cant imagine life without this annoying itch, so holding thumbs it will go away too.
I have been reading with a lot of interest about breast implant illness and i cant help but wonder if my anxiety is increased because i have implants it will be interesting to see if there is a change. i also have a mirena and i have read a forum written by hundreds of other woman who have had unexplained inability to lose weight and anxiety since having the mirena so i am going to have that removed too ...hope i dont sound like a crazy woman if nothing changes i can accept that but not knowing if things might have improved if i hadnt taken the steps to remove all foreign objects from my body i cant accept.
Sorry for the long post ...my family will be grateful they didnt have to listen to it all over again :-) I will post some pre pics next week

happy healing

Another decision made

So the "phantom itch" in my right breast continues......... I have decided that for me it makes more sense to have just an explant with no lift and no exchange. i was wondering if any ladies out there have had trouble with weight since having their implants inserted?? Maybe i am just looking for excuses but man am i finding it difficult to lose weight! I exercise most days, i wear a fit bit and always try meet the recommended 10000 step which i often do.
I am booked in for explant only on the 4th of october , somedays i feel like i just cant wait a second longer and the itch is driving me crazy.

Anyone out there who has had explant only i would love to hear your explant journey :)
Happy Healing everyone xx

I have an itch under the skin on my right breast up the too towards the middle of my chest. It doesn't happen often but I think it's worse when wearing a bra that might be too tight. I thought mine might be nerve damage. The right breast has a slightly uncomfortable feeling for me constantly. Even though is mild it's So annoying. I hope this feeling goes away after explant. Still not 100% certain of when I will explant. Mine are furry brazillian implants, polyurethane coated. Still by sure whether to remove capsule or go for straight removal. Good luck with your explant. I will be very interested to know of the itch goes.
