Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I have posted my messages ON this website and NOBODY BUT YOU HAS ANSWERED ME.(I have read all of everybody messages and felt pain for everybody and that is why I decided to GET THE COURAGE TO ASK FOR HELP KNOWING HOW IGNORANT I AM AND HAVE BEEN FOR NOT KNOWING ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 4 1/2 years and how NAIVE I HAVE BEEN AND NOT ONE PERSON BUT YOU has replied to me. ALL MY MESSAGES HAVE BEEN VERY VERY HONEST AND NICE AND I HAVE NOT ATTACKED ANYBODY OR ANY DOCTERS WHICH I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY TIMES ON THIS WEBSITE IN THE PAST BUT NEVER JUDGED PEOPLE'S OPINIONS OR THIS WEBSITE FOR THAT. FEELING EMBARRASSED AND ASHAMED OF MYSELF FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT HAS HAPPENED, I STILL REACHED OUT FOR HELP KNOWING HOW IT MUST LOOK LIKE TO EVERYBODY. GOD IS TELLING ME SOMETHING, THAT IS WHY I AM SCARED. LAST WEEK, GOD TOLD ME TO GET ON THIS COMPUTER AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY IMPLANTS because I felt something was just not right AND THAT IS WHEN I FOUND THIS WEBSITE AND MANY OTHER THINGS I DID NOT KNOW For the last 4 1/2 years. FOR ALL I KNOW(GOOD POSSIBILITY FROM THE PAPERWORK I DO HAVE) I MIGHT HAVE HAD SILICONE IMPLANTS IN ME AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT. I WAS LOSING IT WHEN I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE SALINE IMPLANTS HAD A SILICONE SHELL AND WHEN I GOT OUT MY REOP FROM LAST YEAR, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, THAT I WOULD CONSENT TO SALINE IMPLANTS, WHEN THAT IS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WHAT I HAVE. I have no idea what some of those terms means that my PS says was wrong with my implants and scar issure and so forth that is on the operative consent form and I am just trying to figure out what has happened to me and since all of you have gone thru this, I thought for sure with everybodys experiences (based on what I have explained) I would get some insight to what might have happened just like everybody else on this website. I am NOT ANGRY or bitter. I AM VERY VERY SCARED RIGHT NOW. I probably put more blame and anger ON MYSELF FOR MAKING THIS DECISION and NOT RESEARCHING MORE. THIS IS WHY I AM COMING TO THIS WEBSITE ASKING FOR HELP. I NEVER SIGNED TO BE IN THE MENTOR SILICONE STUDY, NEVER, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE EVEN GOTTEN SALINE IMPLANTS IF I HAD KNOWN THAT IT HAD A SILICONE SHELL, LET ALONE HAVE SILICONE IMPLANTS. IF I HAD SIGNED, HE WOULD NOT BE LYING TO ME TELLING ME THEY ARE TEXTURED AND HAVING ME SIGN OVER MY IMPLANTS, HE WOULD JUST SHOW ME THE CONSENT FORM FOR THE STUDY. THAT STUDY CONSENT FORM IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PAPERWORK, I WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT God is telling me something AND I am just trying to figure this out. I GUESS AFTER 4 1/2 YEARS, IT PROBABLY IS ABOUT TIME AND THAT IS WHY I REACHED OUT TO ALL OF YOU. FOR ME, I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO THE TRUTH AS MUCH AS I CAN WITH AS MUCH HELP AS I CAN GET, TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED AND MOVE ON. That is why I reached out to everybody. In the last 4 1/2 years I have had my right implant replaced 2x(on my third) and my left 1x(On my second)and a CC removal surgery on the left. I KNOW SINCE 2 WEEKS AGO KNOW FOR SURE I HAVE MENTOR SMOOTH SALINE IMPLANTS IF MY IMPLANTS WERE SILICONE, since 1999, I would think that would be a WAY WORSE SITUATION BUT I DO NOT KNOW AND THAT IS WHY I AM REACHING OUT TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IF IT POSSIBY DID, WOULD IT BE WORSE, WITH THE THINGS HE SAYS I HAD GOING ON (SYMMEtry infection, hemotoa, and the rest of what I stated. Lets face it, THERE IS A REASON THEY WANTED MY IMPLANTS BACK, and since I threatened with the attorney, only to get them to call me back to get my breasts fixed, and challenged him with all the questions on why he put textured implants in me and not getting paperwork or card from first BA, there is a reason they wanted them back. My Mentor card from last year is just a little paper ID with nothing marked, my Mentor card I just got is plastic like a Credit Card and I got one for my right and one for my left. I am just trying to piece the last 4 1/2 years together and I just wanted everybody's input and help(as much as one possibly could from my " nightmare " } which I value and repect being that you all of went thru the same pain. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY LEGAL ACTION, I just would like to get to the TRUTH AS much as possible. I HAVE ALREADY GAVE THEM WHAT THEY WANTED, WHICH WAS THE IMPLANTS, SO I HAVE NOTHING TO GO ON LEGAL WISE ANYWAY. THAT IS WHY THEY HAD ME SIGN THEM OVER TO THEM, SO THEY TOOK CARE OF THE LEGAL END OF IT. I am reaching out because I JUST WANT TO GET TO THE TRUTH AS MUCH AS I CAN FOR MYSELF TO MAKE PEACE, SO I CAN INFORM OTHER WOMEN WHAT HAPPENED TO ME OR WHAT I THINK HAPPENED TO ME BASED ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED. That is why I have been spilling my guts out to everybody on this website. Rogene, you have been a kind and dear soul for acknowledging my " cry for help " . Everything is hitting me from the last 4 1/2 years of lies and deceit and I just want to MAKE SURE FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, I AM EDUCATED AND UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANS BY ALL OF THINGS THAT IS ON MY OPERATIVE FORM AND GET TO THE TRUTH AS MUCH AS I CAN BY SHARING THESE THINGS WITH EVERYBODY Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
