‘No tracking, no rules, no cutting out the foods I love and I got in the best shape of my life.<\/p>\n

Stephanie explained: ‘I’ve gone through an array of debilitating symptoms and I just feel like I need to have a fighting chance of feeling like me again.<\/p>\n

‘So unfortunately I have to say goodbye to these [implants]. If someone is going through the same thing just know that you are not alone.’<\/p>\n
