Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I agree with - and as far as the excitement goes - you mentioned being so excited about the surgery on two weeks... I remember that excitement 8 years ago. I also remember the terrible pain from the operation and disappointment when I didn't look as I though I would right away - it took me over a year and a second operation to heal and look like I wanted to- even then I hated the nasty feel of the water bags and so did my hubby. you said you were worried about the problem with living with deformed breasts which is understandable and it is horrible that you have that condition. We are all now living with deformed breasts in one way or another due to the implants - saggy skin, multiple scars, lack of feeling and sensation, muscle loss, etc. The implants will only make your condition worse after they are removed and you can never go back afterwards - I have had 4 operations and they are not the same. EXCITEMENT..hehe...the giggles.... I remember them well..... It was 1 year ago - the week before I had these nasty life ruining saline filled silicone bags removed from my body - I have never been more excited than the day I went in for removal to try to get my life back. shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Did you read the opening page of this website? It is not really a site for women getting implants, unless she is debating and learning the truth the darkside of implants, then this is the place for them. If your here because you have concerns and don't know if this is the right thing for you, then this is the site for you, but if you want advice about what to wear to your surgery and other positive talk about implants, this is not the site for you. That is obvious and yes, your giggles and responses are a bit rude and uncalled for. AS I STATED, you need to go to Nikki's or s sites for positive feedback because you won't get it here. This site is for women going through explant, who are ill, or are seeking information on the side effects and bad things about implants. To me there is not one good thing about implants. Not even the extra unwanted male attention was worth it. I look way better now than with those water balloons attached to my chest, get plenty of male attention and at least they look at my FACE NOT MY BOOBS! i even got married after my explant to the MOST wonderful man in the world and we have the best sex life of anyone I know (not to brag) but we don't need big fake hard boobs to have great sex for sure. I have an extensive lingerie collection and it all looks fabulous on me with my natural soft A cups. I wish I had never heard of implants. I am one of the lucky ones that did get better, but my life is changed forever from implants. It ruined my relationship with my young daughter who now lives with her dad because Mommy was too sick to pay attention to her for almost 3 years due to illness over toxic bags. You have no way of knowing how your body will react of how long it will take, i reacted very fast and I had no family history of anything. My sister has implants and so far is fine but it has not been long, so you see who knows, one can be fine one not. It is a gamble and if your willing to take it and want people to be happy for you, this is not the place for you, go to a place where people truly can share in your excitement, not here. You have said you were unsubscribing but you haven't yet, wich leads me to believe a part of you is actually not so sure about your decision. you try to come off as so happy but why would you still be here? Also my PS and all the good PS's I know of get bloodwork especially a bleeding time test to see how much and how long it takes for your blood to clot, they do this before any procedure( i work in a hosptial on a surgical floor so I know this) for implantation they also require a baseline mamogram if they are a good PS becuase later on they want to be able to compare your normal baseline mamo with the ones with your implants which will make mamos harder to read and require extra shots of film. Again I think I would really do some more research, it sounds to me like your being very immature and not thinking very hard about the negative aspects of this surgery, if your not ready to face the surgical risks how will you ever be able to face the long term implications of this surgery. Many women need a second surgery to fix complications, are you financially ready for that as well? There are many things to think about. I cannot even wish you luck, I hope you just change your mind and learn that boobs will not make you happy like you think they will. Buy a great bra and take a trip instead, somewhere fun and warm, forget implants, they are not worth it trust me.

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 q! uestion 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...
