I have always wanted implants, but I thought they were not safe.

Over the last few years, they have become so common you feel as if

you are an outsider if you dont have implants! Everyone talks of how

safe they are, and I found so little resourses reporting their

complications (even my own doctors). I just figured all the kinks

were worked out and the saline implants are now safe. I did so much

research stating no connection between implants and illness before

stumbling upon this website. I know in my heart that I was actually

looking for negative information because I knew that cutting open

your chest muscles and putting large silicone objects in it just did

not sound safe!! But If they weren't safe, I thought I would have

heard so much about them. I thought I was just being paranoid.

I cannot believe so many women are suffering, and everyone is

ignoring this information. It makes me so angry (its still a mans

world, I guess). I thank you all because, knowing all of you are out

there, and knowing your stories , I am finding it hard to go through

with the surgery. I dont want to harm my body and my family. I

will probably be depressed because when I thought I was having

surgery I kept imagining how my bras, bathing suits, and bedroom

confidence would improve(even though Ive been married for 15 years, I

don't dress or change in front of my husband because I feel too self

conscious.)

Thank you, and I hope more women get the information and support that

you all gave me before they make their decision.

Gratefully,
