Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hey Jen! Wonderful, wonderful! Good for you! Were you able to discuss with your doctor your desires for the outcome of your explant? I'm really happy to hear you are feeling so much better and that you are seeing immediate benefits from being free from those implants. Keep us posted...I'll be very happy to add your pictures and your story to our files. Take good care of yourself and just take things easy as you recover. Hugs, Patty > > I'm gonna keep this short for now since I'm a little groggy from pain meds but I was EXPLANTED with total capsulectomy yesterday. I'm still getting used to my tiny B cup breasts after twelve years of double D's but I must say-I feel like I have an immense weight lifted off of my body and mind and strangely I feel more feminine (2.2 pounds) off my mind to be exact. It might all be in my head but the FIRST morning after being explanted for the first time in years I woke up and didn't feel like I could sleep 8 more hours (after sleeping 10). I felt rested and refreshed. I feel GREAT and can only hope it will get better. I feel like ME and it is AMAZING. I know must would say it is too soon and it was all in my head but I know it was not. I just wanted to thank all of you already on this site who were already explanted and gave me valuable advice and support, and I would like to give hope to all of those thinking about being explanted. If you feel like something is not right, you are usually correct in feeling that way. Don't give up and trust your instincts!!!!! Don't let self serving research make you feel like YOU are crazy. You're NOT! Good luck to all. I will post pictures as soon as I can and relist my experience in better detail. It is my express hope that others thinking on implanting will be dissuaded and those thinking of explanting will have the courage and support to go forward with it. > > Jen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ok So I went to the Drs. office yesterday and they are reasuring me that the implant have nothing to do with my rash and that It is just eczema, but I'm not sure if its because i'm reading all you guys symptoms that I'm starting to feel some of them, should I schedule an MRI to make sure that the implants are intact? I'm not even sure how to go about that but I'll sure give it a try. I'm feeling tension in the muscles in my neck, shoulders and back, and headaches that sometimes wont go away for the entire day. and lately I feel as if my arm had fallen asleep or something weird like that. do any of you started with all this symptoms from one day to the other or they started one by one?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi there, What kind of implants do you have...silicone gel or saline? I'll try to answer your last question as best I can. For me personally, I had little symptoms that I ignored for the most part after implantation, because it didn't click in my mind that they were anything significant enough to be worried about. For instance, I had these weird red little dots all over my legs after the surgery, plus a constant ache in my legs that felt like I had worked out hard or something, when I hadn't. I would have my husband rub my legs at night to help make them feel better, but they really didn't....until these symptoms disappeared and I went on with my life with implants. I never made any connection to the implants about that, at that time. Then, a few more months later, I started having little vision things happen, like it felt like my eyes were struggling for some reason, though I had perfect vision. My eyes were tired. I started zoning out at the computer more often. The reason I remember this is because I asked my dad to test my blood with his diabetes monitor to see if I might be having blood sugar issues. There would have been no reason for me to ask him to do that if everything was fine. Finally, I started noticing that my breast implants were just too hard. They had always been rather firm, but they just never softened up like the plastic surgeon said they would. He told me to massage them and then finally to lay down on my stomach on the floor on them and roll around on them. After doing that, within a few days, my breasts felt hot to the touch, like they were fevered. I felt fine myself, but I thought it was so weird that my breasts were HOT. Within weeks of that, I had a major health CRASH. One afternoon, I felt suddenly very ill, very tired, very out of sorts, and cognitively unable to function...(think clearly). From that point on, I had brain fog, confusion, fatigue beyond belief and unlike anything I had ever experienced before, and other stuff that made up my whole health nightmare. I felt like I had suddenly been poisoned or something. I felt drunk half the time, though I never drank alcohol. I had done nothing different in my life, and this sudden disaster that my health had become was utterly frightening. Doctors were clueless and no help, and it was only through discussing the symptoms with other women that I realized that the implants were possibly involved. And they were for sure. I got my implants out and over time got better. So, there is no way to know for sure what is happening with you...you may be having implant issues that are small now and can develop into larger health issues, or you may not. This is something that you will have to observe for yourself over time. If your gut instinct tells you that you have reason to suspect your implants as having a negative health impact, I would urge you to take action sooner rather than later and get rid of them for good. God bless, Patty > > > > > > I'm gonna keep this short for now since I'm a little groggy from pain meds but I was EXPLANTED with total capsulectomy yesterday.
