Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Amy, you are right that every surgical procedure has risks. But the risks are problems with anesthesia, the wound not healing, those kinds of things. The risks with breast implants are chronic illness from the exposure to silicone and the contaminated saline. These illnesses may last the rest of our lives. Have you read our stories? Go to the Files section and read some of our Implant/Explant stories. Our implants made us sick and took years from us that we'll never get back. We WILL get well one day, but it varies from person to person. It could be months or even years. If you already have Crohns disease, you're asking for another chronic illness that has no medicine to control it. I wish you would re- consider. If I had it to do all over again - I would never have gotten implants. Pam --- In , " Amy & Dale " <aevans2@w...> wrote: > I know what it is to live with a chronic condition. I have crohns disease.

I know and speak from experience. I know it is hard with your condition but at least you have your health which is more than I can say. in hindsight, i would rather have two deformed breasts now than to go through what I deal with everyday. it isn't worth it - I promise that. good luck! > love > shari > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
