Beth/Re: Annie: IMPLANT AND SCAR TISSUE FREE, THANK GOD!!!

[Guest guest]

Beth, We must be kindred spirits! I, too, would just smell horrible

under my arms like I NEVER do! I don't have any odor, normally, even

with no deodorant. Then, all of a sudden, it was like " funk city!!! "

I was in disbelief! I also had night sweats galore. Gee, maybe

simmering silicone really gets cranked up on the smell

level...Dunno!!! Also, my biggest complaint after surgery, which has

diminished in occurances with each passing day, was what felt like

something stabbing me underneath my left breast......! Dr Feng's

nurse had said the drain must've been on a nerve there, causing it.

Sure is wild that we both had similar weird symptoms. Were yours

silicone or saline? With my brain fog I can't remember, although my

husband says my mind is clearing already.......! Thanks for sharing

with me! Love, Annie
