54 yr old..sick of/from her boobs??? - Texas

well, its been almost 3 months since I had my explant surgery!! I'm still getting used to the way they look. Personally I think they look fine and I don't mind them at all. They look exactly the way they did the day of explant. They haven't filled out like they said they might but then they haven't flattened out either so that's good. I absolutely, positively, without a doubt, feel great and as the days go on I feel better and better!!! I notice different things every day that make me have a*ha moments. I catch myself on a daily basis saying, "I haven't experienced _____since my surgery!! aha!! Those damn implants were causing that!!!" I have NOT HAD ONE HOT FLASH since the day I had my implants removed and I was averaging at least 5 to 6 per day. It was like a light switch, they were gone!!! I have not had one bout of depression since surgery day and I actually like my husband again!!! LOLOL I started a workout regimen about 3 weeks ago AND can finish the damn thing!!!!! I can ride in the car for long periods of time without hurting from top to bottom. I can walk....I can walk my dogs without my legs feeling like lead weights and screaming in pain and hobbling half way home. I have absolutely NO JOINT PAIN, not in my arms, legs, wrists, elbows, ankles..no where!!! My husband asked me for one of my Aleve the other day and I couldn't even find my bottle, that's how long its been since I took one. ALSO, sleeping.....sleeping is now amazing!!! I can sleep on my stomach again and it doesn't feel like I'm sleeping on two over inflated soccer balls. I can roll all over that bed with absolutely no pain and I don't have to move my boob when I roll over at night LOLOL!! The list just goes on and on!!!!! Sadly though a few of my original symptoms have slowly returned. My skin has gone back dry and my hair is still falling out. This I am contributing to my hormones!! I will gladly take these two in exchange for the 20+ I got rid of!! anyhoo, just thought I'd check in. I probably won't again since all is well. anyone reading this who is contemplating explant all I can say is DO IT DO IT DO IT....DON'T WALK, RUNNNNNNN...RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! God help anyone who puts these things in their body!!! I wish I would have known. when I think back on how bad I felt and how good I feel today I get so angry!!! I lost 9 years of my life!!!! 9 PRIME years of my life!!!!! God speed everyone and have a safe, happy Holiday Season!! Merry Christmas!!

I know I said I was going to wait a while to post again but I just had to let you all know, especially those considering explant, HOW GREAT I FEEL. It literally amazes me everyday!!!
Its only been 1 1/2 weeks since my procedure but I have already realized some MAJOR changes in my body.....of course there are those that will scoff at the notion that the implants were causing all my problems but I am now a firm believer because I'm LIVING IT!!!!!
I am experiencing...NO brain fog, NO aches and pains in my joints, NO depression, NOT ONE HOT FLASH SINCE PROCEDURE DAY!!! My hair is brighter and not falling on the bathroom floor, my face is ROSY in color, not gray, and I can see a difference in appearance whereas I have lost the old lady look and my face is actually oily. I have not had to use my night cream!! I no longer qualify for a role on The Walking Dead!! LOLOL!! I have not used my body lotion and my legs and arms are not dry and ashy!!! I noticed yesterday that my fingernails are not yellow and brittle they are white and hardening. I have slept through the night and wake up jumping out of bed instead of dragging out of bed!! I can ride in the car longer than 30 minutes without my whole body screaming. The list goes on and on!! I've actually lost 6 pounds, without even trying!!!!
I notice different things everyday that I have suffered with for YEARS that are getting better or have disappeared!! If you are contemplating having your implants removed....DO IT...DO IT NOW!!! No matter the cost, no matter what your partner thinks, no matter what you think the appearance of your breasts will be in the end, DO IT, you will Thank yourself!! Its absolutely the BEST decision I ever made!!!
on a side note....my shirts are now TO BIGGGGGG!!! I dropped from a DD to full C.

So Friday was my big day!!! The office procedure went GREAT!!! Took all of 20 mins to remove the implants and I was on my way. My PS was AMAZING...so comforting and gentle!!
After all the draping of sterile paper and "prepping" his work area he said "put your hands under your bum and don't move them"! He gave me a couple of numbing shots under each breast (with the biggest freakin syringe I've ever seen), made a 2" incision under the first breast and POPPED out one of my implants!! (repeated on other side) BOOM...back to being a member of the itty bitty jiggly [RS bleep] committee!!! LOL but they have bra's for that!!!!!
The minute he was done I raised my head to look at the implants. They were completely crystal clear..no yellowing, no mold!! They were in pristine condition. He said they looked brand new (10yrs old). I asked the PS if my breasts looked like two fried eggs and he said, "well no, maybe poached, but they'll get better" LOLOL
I'm 3 days post procedure and I don't know if its psychosomatic or real but I HAVEN'T FELT THIS GOOD IN 9 YEARS!!!! Saturday morning I literally...LITERALLY...popped out of bed instead of dragggiinnggg out of bed. I have no joint pain, I haven't been depressed in 3 days, my body isn't swollen like a Macy's day parade float, and I haven't had a hot flash in 3 days either!!! Either way....YAAAAYYYYY!!! I weighed Friday morning and again saturday morning and I'd lost 5lbs!! those damn things weighed 5lbs!!!!!!!!!!
He sent me home with an antibiotic and Tylenol #3. I did not have the pain meds filled because I haven't needed them. I have had NO PAIN!!
I took my shower yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised at how good they look and am totally pleased with the shape of my breasts. The hubster had to help me put on my compression bra. He looked at my chest and said "they look awesome". Damn I love that man!!!!! I've attached my before and after pics but remember the pics are two days post procedure...I have a long way to go!!!
I WISH I HAD DONE THIS SOOOONNNNEERRRR!!
Thank you ALL for your comments and well wishes. I wish you ALL the best in life!! Will check in again in a month or so to update how I'm feeling!! Thanks again, much love from your chairman of the itty bitty jiggly [RS bleep] committee!!!
