Annie: IMPLANT AND SCAR TISSUE FREE, THANK GOD!!!

[Guest guest]

yes, it was kind of scary! I would wake up in the night covered in

sweat,ugh!!! And I think I smelled too for awhile. A day after I

had my surgery I had full body twitches, stabbing sensations in my

face, throat and left side, and the sweats!! I think it's an

understatement to say my body didn't like them. Just hang in there,

your body is probably trying to get rid of everything, now that it

doesn't have to fight them anymore.

hugs,

Beth
