Thank you for posting, just became aware of BII 2 months ago. Have had implants for 21 yrs, saline, recalled textured brand. Just found that out post breast issues....10 yr ordeal with doctors and numerous symptoms. I am explanting the end of March......I wish I would’ve seen all these posts many years ago. Manufacturers of implants will pay for replacements but not surgery. My doctor won’t remove capsules unless something looks off, they didn’t believe of any connection with BII! This all cannot be a coincidence! Hoping removal will help and no post surgical issues. Whole journey has been maddening. Thoughts and prayers to all. Didn’t find your post videos, hope it went well! Good luck
You are welcome. I am so happy that you are getting them out...They HAVE to remove the capsules or you won't get better. Please find a doc that will remove them NO MATTER WHAT!!!! I am doing great. I am almost 2 years post op and doing wonderful. :)
I ended up canceling my breast implant surgery because I did research on the negative effects. I never needed to do an explant at all! :) Sorry, I just realized that my first comment wasn't too clear.
Really? What negative effects can the explant have? Yeah, if you don't need it, then by all means don't do it, however there have been no negative effects from it.
Haha, I'm trying to say that I had a breast IMPLANT surgery scheduled for July. After doing research about BII and watching this video, I decided NOT to go through with the IMPLANT surgery. I don't think I was clear in my previous comments. I think my comments made you think I was against getting an explant surgery. :) In short, your video helped me to realize that I didn't need implants because of the healthy issues that may come with them.
I'm only 4 minutes in and so much of this sounds like me. My first consult with a doctor is in 10 days. Super scared of the after because I'm 46 and I've had implants since I was 22 (3 surgeries total). Worried I will need a lift from 24 years of stretched skin. I've already watched a few of your afters and I hope I can be half as happy as you are =)
I'm so happy you have found value in the videos. Best of luck with your consult. You will do awesome. I am so excited for you. No doubt you will be just as happy. It is a journey for sure, but one that I would do all over again. Wishing you the best of luck.
Very interesting what you have wrote and yes I am going through the same thing as you with a bunch more. I had a hair sample and it told me so much about this to confirm this.. I'm getting ready to explant soon...
Stephanie Butler I'm hoping so!! Today has been rough! You mentioned your food intolerances but you didn't say how your intolerances were...meaning when ever I eat I get conjested right away and I can't breathe. The food literally does not digest and stays in my esophagus for long periods at a time, example If I eat at 2 pm.its still coming up at 2am... it's been hard today my heart rate went down to 43 and my face is burning and now I have low grade fever.. This is so hard..
I am so sorry you have had a hard day. They are better now...I still swell if I have too much of something I shouldn't but that is not very often. Your inflammation will get better once you explant. That is what that sounds like. Your esophagus is inflamed. I hope you are able to get your explant soon.
OMG, I just watched this one for the first time ( brain fog makes me do things backwards lol....the hormonal disregulations ( to a T of what you said ) and all of the food intolerances which lead to only being ablw to eat avocados and sweet potatoes, and bone broth for 4 months , the heavy metal toxicity, all of the viruses- Herpes, Epstein Barr, others...and the diagnoses of Lyme, possible Lupus...balding hairloss, liver dysfunction, thyroid nodules, hypothyroid diagnoses...unable to drink alcohol (particularly WINE :((((().... sorry, I just freak out every time I hear you list all of the symptoms and diagnoses (got them in 2009)...aching joints...mainly knees in which is hard to keep exercizing , low blodd sugar issues, LOW or non existant libido, Horrible anxiety, becoming severly depresseed (gained 35 lbs in 4 months for no real reason) and cannot lose it)---all of this can certainly make you feel nuts. So excited to stumble upon your videos and others Ive found due to my best friend telling me about this illness....so happy to finally have an answer and a light a the end of this horrible, dark, isolating tunnel and live my life again for myself, my 5 year old son, and my fiance :) xo P.S Did your libido come back after explantijng? My fiance is a bit nervous LOL
It is crazy and makes you feel like a hypochondriac. I am so happy you found them as well and that they have helped. Makes it ALL worth it. You will be a new woman for everyone around you but most importantly for yourself.
Stephanie Butler ugh. That’s great to hear!!! Hoping detox goes fast(er) It’ll be only 3 years worth... I think you had 10?! These have been my first days researching this illness, and it is SO.REAL. So real I think cosmetic implant surgeries could get outlawed.
@@andreweich2600 I agree. Yes, your detox should go fast. Continue eating well, sweating and treating your body well. It will go back to what it knows to do. :)
Wow, you’ve been through so much. You’re a very strong woman (and very pretty).

So interesting, thank you for posting! 😊
My love and prayers to you and all ladies in this position. My explant has been set for May 11th. Hopefully our nightmare will end❤😢
Thank you for sharing! I had a surgery scheduled for July but started to research more and found out about this! I cancelled my surgery!
You are welcome. It has changed my life not having them in. So glad you did some research first. :)
Have you explanted yet? How are you feeling if so?

You will feel so much better in time once you explant. It is certainly a slow process, however totally worth it.

Stephanie Butler did you test positive for gluten issues?
No, no allergies...just intolerances. I did however test positive for high inflammation markers. I am on a strict diet right now...
Thanks I was wondering about 2018

All women who have breast implants get sick with different symptoms?
No not necessarily...some people don't have any problems.
Has your stomach / gut issues improved ??
Great, I feel like a new person. There is much detox that will happen however you will get through it and feel like a million bucks
Stephanie Butler ugh. That’s great to hear!!! Hoping detox goes fast(er)
It’ll be only 3 years worth... I think you had 10?!
These have been my first days researching this illness, and it is SO.REAL.
So real I think cosmetic implant surgeries could get outlawed.
@@andreweich2600 I agree. Yes, your detox should go fast. Continue eating well, sweating and treating your body well. It will go back to what it knows to do. :)
Who was your breast explant doctor?
I used Dr. Abell in Gainesville, Ga.
