Hello everyone!

Just a note to say I did it...the explant. So far it has been a

breeze. Thank you to all of you who have shared your stories of

encouragement and knowledge of what you have been through and are

going through. I feel so relieved to have those implants out! It

wasn't until looking at myself in the mirror without them that I

actually thought about how I could have put them in my body in the

first place. I thought they were safe, would feel like my real

boobs, would make my clothes fit better, (which it was very easy to

shop for clothes!) would make me feel better about myself. Before

surgery, all the working out in the world would not make my nipples

point up. It took me a year to decide to get a lift or implants.

Well, it's obvious I went with the whole package. I should have

went with my first instinct. Everyone kept telling me I wouldn't be

happy with just a lift and I should get implants as well. Well

when my hair started falling out about two months after implants, I

started to regret it. Even though I was told it wasn't the implants

it was the anasthesia and would stop, in my heart I knew. Well,

here I am 9 mo. later getting them out! Don't know if the hair loss

will stop, but at least I have peace of mind that I'm not poisoning

myself anymore. My boobs (or should I call them boobies now) are

little, but the lift (mastopexy) held and my breasts look great. A

little soft still as I am only 3 days out. I have drains and will

get them out tomorrow morning. My surgeon was supportive and

sympathetic throughout the whole process. He is amazing! Now I

just have to pray that my hair stops falling out. Do you think I

still need to detox if I feel fine? Not sure what to do. Any

advice would be welcome. If your still reading this novel, Thanks!!
