This is ALL such great information and resource. I will certainly be prepared

when I see the endocrinologist. I have always been active and in shape and this

" medical " issue has about pushed me over the edge. I swear if I hear a doctor

say to me one more time that I LOOK healthy, I will scream. I am 34 and my body

is trying to compensate but eventually even that wont be enough. I can barely

get out of bed without my beta blocker medication. It is the only thing that is

giving me a little relief from my symptoms.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions specifically on tests to be run?

My plan is to explant the entire implant and not replace. I was actually a good

B size before surgery so most of my natural breast tissue is on the top portion

of my implant. As far as size goes, I want to say it was around 275cc. Of course

that sounds close to a C but as I said, I had a decent amount of tissue pre-op.

So instead, I measure a 32D (I am 5'3'' and 115lbs and extremely small framed).

I am very self conscious about it and have a meltdowns occasionally in my closet

as I get ready for work. I only wanted to fill my clothes out better and I feel

as if I am just two breasts walking around now. I told my surgeon that after the

procedure and he assured me that NOBODY ever came back and complained they were

too big. Well, guess what, I AM! Honestly, I will be happy with my Bs back. I

have not had children so I am hoping that maybe my original size and shape will

return. I know an exam is necessary to know for sure but at my age, should I get

a lift too? Thoughts on that?

Again, ALL of you are so amazing. Of course, if any of you know someone in

Nashville that you would recommend, that would be great. I have found the name

of two doctors who advertise explants along with their other services. Both

trained at Vanderbilt for their plastics fellowship.

Have a great weekend!
