Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 we all realize that you are getting the SALINE implants - I will once again attach a pic of mine upon removal. they look safe enough, huh? they were only 7 years old. - the clearer one was only three years old as the other leaked and had to be replaced in my third operation in three years. - we have all poured our hearts and personal stories with you and it is very difficult having to live with the decisions that we have made. I also realize that there are people out there that have had good experiences that you can find- I know a few and are happy for them but with your heath issues I fear that you will not be one of the lucky few. As I said in an earlier post, it is a horrible thing to live with knowing that I may be the cause of my toddler being so sick all the time. It is a horrible thing to be disabled at 33 and not knowing how I am going to make my next house payment. But you have made your decision and that is your business - we have done all that we can do and I wish you the best and a lot of luck - with your family history you will need all the luck and prayers you can get. I really hope you shared this history w/ your PS before scheduling the surgery. They ask those questions for a reason. I would seriously question any PS who knew the history and still went through with the surgery - especially without doing bloodwork which makes me wonder what the real story is here. They wouldn't operate on your pinky toe without doing bloodwork first. Sorry, but it is pretty hard after all that we have shared with you for you to send us messages talking about your "excitement". It makes me feel as though you are not being truthful here. I honestly hope you were not toying with us as we are honest, sick people trying to help and we have spent a lot of time trying to help you know all of the risks. There are people who like to do things like that and that would be a terrible thing to do to people who were just trying to help save you from making a mistake. -people like myself who are very sick but felt it necessary to take as much time as I could to share my personal story with you and others. I will do anything in my power to help anyone in need. I hope you made the right decision - we will still be here if you need help. shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hello Shari, I called the hospital a little bit ago to see if I would need blood work. One of the nurses had called on Monday regarding my medical history. With all the questions she then told me that no further testing was needed. That's also what the nurse said today. I'm sorry you don't believe my story. That's obviously your choice. Shari, you know fully well that If someone wants something bad enough they obviously will. I also was under the assumption that we could all chat and share how we feel about implants. I'm sorry that I've rocked some waves...Wait, that isnt the saying..lol No seriously, Im a compassionate woman and I'm sorry your all feeling ill. I will unsub from the group. Perhaps it would be best.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Amy I am sorry and I appreciate your nice words about my healing, but I found it hard to believe the story that they were not needing pre-op blood work - I have had 7 operations and have never heard of such a thing. Maybe it is normal in your area - I can't remember if you ever said where you were from. This is a group where you can speak your mind and have opinions but the 'rocking the boat' so to speak occurred when you talk about having surgery w/ all the "hehe's" and "lol's". It seemed rude and mocking. For us is is not a laughing matter - this is hard for you to understand as you stated before - if you want something bad enough you will get it. I completely agree with you there - been there - done that. I was young at implanting and saved for two years to get them. The only difference with me is that I wasn't surrounded with people giving me both sides of the story - Had I known any of the women here and heard any of their stories i would have never opted for the surgery. I didn't know better and didn't have the opportunities like you to hear that it always isn't the glorious thing it is made out to be. You are an adult and have made your decision - you will have to live with that decision forever as well as any future children and that makes me sad as I don't think you see that. I didn't either and now it is too late. oh well - I tried shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
