Girls I am not going to just leave forever, I basically needed some

time to get my crap together and just pray for peace and for strenght

and the ability to post here without anger or hostility. I do have

strong opinions and while I have tried hard to keep them to a minimum

here, they do creep in from time to time, occasionally you hit that

send button without reading what you wrote or maybe it could have

been put differently, but my basic post in the beginning of all this

was once again, sharing an experience that occured, it was true and I

never EVER begged anyone for them to put implants back into my body.

I want everyone here to know that there was a period of time when I

was not well yet and had second thoughts about where things were

going and if the implants really had gotten me sick. I certainly

wanted to be well immediatly as we all do and that did not happen for

me at all, so i went into a depression and yes, I made several

consults with a few PS's in SF bay area. None with Dr Kolb or any out

of my area then as I was BROKE And had no money or business trying to

get implants back in me.

As time went by implants went to the bottom of my list there, I began

healing, my boobs looked better and better and I got married at 4

months post explant / lift with Dr Feng. At that point I no longer

cared about implants in my life but yes I still had allot of boob

envy going on.

It was not until maybe 2 or 3 years later that I wrote an email to Dr

Kolb as more of a thought or interest in her opinion than a real

question or begging (for heavens sake) about what she thought about

me reimplanting again. I don't want to say all this to rehash this

issue which is feeling of course to all here, very old and boring. I

just want the ladies on this site who do not know me very well to

understand I had NO INTENTION OF REIMPLANTING, i wanted to know

however what someone like her would say to someone like me, who had

implants, got sick within 2 months, got them out in 18 months, and

got better in about 18 months who wanted implants again. I wish I had

saved the letter but I did not. It was def not begging. I was just

curious and she told me that I was a good candidate. This was when my

opinion about her began to really go down. I just could not imagine

that any PS would reimplant me, esp one who knows about or

understands implant illness.

anyhow that and the issue of Dr Feng is an old tired one but I do

want to repeat that I did talk to Dr Feng herself yesterday and she

was very clear to me that she does Not ever think me or anyone that

has been where I have been would or should get implants again, and

she would turn me down, so there are Dr's with different opinions out

there. I also discussed at legnth with her about implanted women in

her office and all she could possibly think of was that they must

have all been there to consult about explanting as she does not do

many implants ever. She told me that most of the time if she does

implant it is a woman who has had implants many years and has not

been ill, that they come to her and that even when she tries to steer

them to explant, they will not hear of it. She feels they are low

risk as they have had them so long, but she still will not use a gel

type implant even if that is what they have had for sometimes 30

years! can you even imagine. For those women she said sometimes

reimplanting is the only thing they will do and she will implant

them. She said she rarely if ever does first implantations. Maybe she

is lying to me, but I see no reason why she would do that. She is a

pretty humble, honest lady and she does allot of other procedures she

is pretty well known for. Her face lifts are incredible and she

probably could just get by on those and her breast explants and

lifts, so no I don't think she is like allot of PS's on the implant

issue.

However, after this post I will try my hardest to let sleeping dogs

lie. I felt the need to post this, and if anyone wants to be mad at

me and get it all going again, I probably won't be involved. I felt

the need to say my piece and now to move on.

I would love to stay and help as I feel I have been blessed with such

health that I have much to offer to others. I have some issues with

aches and pains, but I am a major athletic person and feel that part

of my issues may stem from those issues as well as possible implant

things who knows at this point almost four years out of explant ( it

will be 4 years in December) so I am really far from implants at this

point. In fact I have been doing some training with my husband and a

close friend in my gym, and my husband was complaining that his heel

is bugging him too, so maybe it is just an over use type injury. I

put him on rest from that eliptical machine hee hee for a few days

anyhow, but he is still working that bowflex.

I am at this point ready to just be here to help when i can for as

long or as much as I can.

I have reached an incredible fitness goal of mine that I have been

working on for along time, which was to get my body fat down to 16%

and I found out yesterday that is what it is now. So to me that is a

huge deal. I have been working hard with my weight training etc, and

to be 40 years old with a body fat of 16% after being so ill, is a

huge thing to me, and i wanted to share it with you all.

I don't have much in the way of boobs at this body fat level but it

actually has not changed them much since my fat was at 21% so I am

really happy, I like not having any fat to pinch, it feels so good!

Hard work has helped me to acheive many things, including this one. I

love working out and still believe it is the thing that has helped me

to become the healthy person I am today.

hugs and blessings to all
