Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Jeanine I read your message about it being hard to make the explant decision. I was in your shoes 8 months ago when the news of all of my illnesses being caused by the implants hit me like a rock. it was one of the hardest decisions that I had to make. All I could think about was what if I were wrong?? what was I going to look like? I finally took the plunge in April and took my implants home. I looked at them when I woke up the next day and it was very clear that I had made the right decision - one was yellow with chunks floating in it while the other actually has black mold growing on it. I sent them to Dr. Blais in Canada to be analyzed and both were proved to be leaking as well as severly contaminated with all kinds of nasty stuff. From that day on I knew I had made the right decision and I have never doubted it again. It has only been 5 months and I am still struggling to find ways to feel better and have been searching for ways to detox my body of all of the stuff that remains. My implants were textured so I know pieces of Silicone remain in my system. I had to pay for the explant myself as the insurance wouldn't cover it but after appealing along with the report from Canada I got the word last week that they are going to pay me back! I guess my point is that I know the decision is hard but I made it along with all if the support from the women I found online and I have never regretted it. I would be happy to send you or anyone else more info if you would like. Thanks - I will be praying for all of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
