Why I Decided to Get Breast Explant Surgery, plus, What is this Breast Implant Illness thing all about? Part I EP264

I didn’t want to believe it at first.

About two-plus years ago I started to hear about this thing called BII, Breast Implant Illness.

Then I started to see it everywhere in my life, from my dear friend and yoga instructor Gayle, getting sicker and sicker before my eyes, to dozens of women’s stories coming across my news feed, and then this summer three of my clients had their breast implants removed back to back.

But….

I still didn’t want to believe that all of my symptoms, for the last five years, could be because of the giant water balloons I paid to have put in my chest.

The fact I felt like I was 80 years old.
Chronic fatigue
Constantly achy muscles and joints (flu-like)
Rashes on the backs of both arms
Diagnosed with hypothyroidism
Major fertility issues (again like I was 80)
Plus many many more

It’s a funny thing, when I’m in denial, God makes certain what needs to happen, is UNDENIABLE.

This year, the inflammation around my boobs kept getting greater and my boobs bigger, to the point where I was having back and shoulder pain. (God was literally on my shoulders)

My hair started falling out in clumps, and I suddenly gained around 12 pounds. My hormone doctor had me get labs done, my body stopped producing progesterone, but all the other hormones were great. Even she was perplexed!

When in went to Cabo for my birthday with my bestie, second day into the trip she looked at me with concern, love, and compassion and said, “it’s time you get them removed, you’re ready.”

I felt God nodding in head in agreement.

Although I may be stubborn, I’m humble enough to listen when the Universe speaks.

There’s so much more to the story, which is why I created this episode for you to hear all the details of this wild journey.
