Re: trying to make the time go faster

[Guest guest]

My explant is tomorrow (Tuesday) and I suspect I'll feel like " a huge

weight has been lifted " as well.

While I liked the implants in the beginning, as I grew older and wiser

I began to feel differently. The last few years I've looked at them

and thought, ugh. They really don't look natural. That seems like such

an obvious statement, but, it wasn't that obvious to me in the

beginning. I truly think my self image and my body image were warped

by my own insecurities. I saw what I needed to see, influenced by

expectations and the way others viewed me.

Now, one is deflated completely, and I have one boob that's about a C,

firm, bulky. And the other is a soft teardrop - an A. I love the way

the natural breast looks. I look at the fake one and I can't BELIEVE I

ever thought THAT looked good.

Right now, at this time in my life, natural breasts seem so much more

appealing.

I can tell you already, having one deflated, it is a weight lifted!

;-) I never realised the weight and strain of these water balloons.

I feel liberated by this whole process, too.

> Hi Dawn. I was wondering the same thing pre-explantation. I was

wondering if I would feel like I lost my boobs. I found upon taking

off the bandages and looking at myself for the first time that I

didn't lose anything. In fact, I found my old friends were back! It

was a very liberating experience for me. I felt like a huge weight

had been lifted.
