Re: saline implants/Beth/Kathy

[Guest guest]

Kathy you left my story out, I actually got married 4 months after

explant, even with those fresh post op scars from my lift. If the man

is worth anything you will not need to worry, a real man will not run

from a woman who is ill from implants, if she is honest and willing

to get her health back and fight for it. (my hubby) was very

very concerned that I get them out, if fact had I not gotten them out

he may not have been so happy to marry me, because then the problems

had no chance of going away, he was willing and more than capable of

dealing with my " bad days " and those got so far and few that they

were nothing compared to when I had the implants in. He has told me

numerous times he is glad they were gone before we got married and

that I had done that because the bombs would have interfered with our

lifestyle and all the fun things we can do and the woman I am now,

work out girl, working full time, student, on and on, those things I

could not have done with the implants, it was too much, I was on too

many pain pills and worthless. Pain pills were still very much a part

of my life for a long time, but that was to help me as I healed and

that part was fine.

Your implants are not worth keeping and killing yourself (believe me

I thought about it) is not worth it either, why do that? Then they

win, the Dr's the PS's the bastard all win, you die and leave the

people who care about you thinking you were just depressed etc. Don't

you feel your life is more important than that? And as far as

Children, I think unless your older or something, there is no reason

that you cannot think of having children in the future, if I was

younger and wanted more(which I don't) or even if I was this age (40)

I would still have children now with no qulams at this point, not 3

years ago no, but I have healed enough now that I could carry a baby

and feel it would be safe. It is important that you detox of course,

and make sure things are ok, I am not saying it is the right or the

wrong thing, just that it would be ok, to do it at some point for

allot of us once we get rid of the implants.

You need to realize that those suckers are doing nothing for you at

all, NOTHING, go to a good surgeon, if you can afford the extra $$$

Dr Feng is in my own personal opinion the best, but their are others

too, it is really personal preferance, to me she did the best job

possible to keep me from being breastless. I am pretty small, but I

don't have allot of body fat either so I know that I am where I need

to be with my figure and I love the athletic look. Gosh did you look

at all those gorgeous athletes at the olympics? Not an implant there

for sure. Healthy athletic women that are at the top of the game,

they dont mess with fake boobs. In fact I think fake boobs are ugly,

I don't know what I was thinking getting them. I agree with that

clothes look better on a svelte athletic body any day. I get plenty

of men and women that look at me and think I look really beautiful

and I think from working out and some good genetics I am really

blessed and I don't need a couple of toxic bags to be a woman, to be

a sexy beautiful natural woman. Who needs that crap inside their

bodies BLAH!

anyhow I hope you will make the right decision and get them out soon.

Please don't consider suicide as an option, please fight for your

health, it is such a learning experience and one you willl only grow

stronger from.

trust in god to help you, and find a good PS, you can write me if you

would like to know more about mine.

hugs
