Re: implants?-For Hanna

[Guest guest]

Hi-I'm always saying to myself " Why did I have to get sick? I know

other women who have implants and they seem fine! " I never thought

that this could happen to me.

Some of the women I know got sick right away and others (like me)

took longer. That's why the studies that are done on implants aren't

correct. The ones studies that I have read are only a year long

(after implants are put in)

Some girls bodies reject them the 1st week! I believe that there are

different immune systems. Maybe someone will do OK with silicone in

their body, but others get very sick. Every single Dr. I have ever

been to has told me that implants DID NOT get me sick. When I

finally had them removed, 10 yrs. after I got them, they were black

and full of bacteria and fungus. The silicone on the outside was

coming apart and alot of it was floating around my body.

I lost my career, my husband, and my health because I got saline

breast implants. I know that it seems really important to have big

breasts now, but just really think about the future. Some of the

girls you know are healthy now, but may not be in the future.

It's very smart of you to look around for info on implants-

Good luck! Love, Daryl

Hannah, 7 years of fun, partying, being implanted,and making money will all catch up. You can get away with it when you are young, but it all catches up. Implants take a huge toll on your body and it may not show up right away, but it will .It took almost 8 years witt me, and i looked pretty and energetic the whole time. Its a serious game you are playing.

Maybe if you had replaced your implants sooner you maby would not be sick? I know about replacing. I have so many friends with implants. Some new some older. My profession or desired profession is being a swimsuit model, but also doing some go-go dancing. The facts are the facts, the girls with the biggest paychecks have implants. >Right now I am flat as a board. I do well with the modeling in clothes only because of silicone enhancers and other methods they use, taping, stuffing and all kinds of cheating things to make your boobs look bigger. >The go-go dancing is really where allot of money can be made, but I struggle to compete with the girls that have implants.

Replacing your implants every seven years would not keep you from

getting sick. Most women who get sick from implants are reacting to

the silicone shell or the metals used in them. I was sick from

implants and mine were clear when I got them out. I understand why

you want the implants, but it is a very real risk. No one can

predict if you will get sick, but obviously many women have. There

is just no way anyone can guarantee you that you won't get sick.

Likewise, no one can predict if you get sick, how sick you might

get. Or when. Some women get sick right away. others not for

years. Some women have nonspecific symptoms while others develop

classical lupus, scleroderma or ms symptoms. Some women will get

much better after explant. Some women will not.

Only you can decide if the risk is worth it. Most of us were not

aware of the risks and made our decision without knowing you could

get sick. We were told that salines were safe. It is just sterile

saline. I was told even if they broke, I would be just fine. If I

had found a site like this prior to getting the implants, you can

bet that I would have never gotten them. And I would have saved

myself and my family so much pain and suffering.

You know alot of women with implants that are not sick. That

doesn't mean they won't get sick down the road. I had mine eleven

years before getting suddenly terribly sick within a matter of

weeks. All I can tell you is that we are always getting new women

writing us, sharing the same story--of how they were getting all

these strange symptoms but no one ever thought it was their

implants. Look at how many women are members of this site. Look at

how many new women come to this site weekly. It may not seem like

huge numbers, but most women still don't know how to find a group

like this or just are not aware that their implants can cause

illness because they have been told by " doctors " they can't.

Again, the decision is yours. But please make the decision with

your eyes wide open. Know that there is definitely a risk and no

way to predict whether you will be a casualty. Good luck.

kathy

I can really sympathize with how you feel. It is something you want

very badly and it appears that there are many women who have done it

and they are fine.

YOu asked if I knew anyone not sick. Well my 2 sisters and my best

friend got implants a few years before me. My one sister doesn't

seem sick. My other sister has many symptoms of fms but she says it

is the normal aging process. So I really don't know. My good

friend has many problems: chronic pain in neck and shoulders which

she blames on weightlifting. She has a kidney enlarged and she has

intersitial cystitis, which is a very painful condition where the

urethal lining gets little ulcers, you have to urinate constantly

and it is very painful. There is no cure. She thinks she would

have gotten it anyway. Even though she knows I was sick and got

alot better after explantaion, she doesn't believe her problems to

be implant related and probably doesn't think mine were either. She

also has alot of depression, fatigue, etc.

There may be alot of women out there who have symptoms that they

blame on something else. I know I did for years. I probably still

would be thinking it was just me if it hadn't happened that my

illness

escalated wildly three years ago. In a very short period of time I

developed over 20 symptoms...many alarming. I honestly thought I

was going to die. Within weeks of explant the weirdest symptoms--

weird brain dysfunction--left completely. The rest of my symptoms

have either left or gotten better than they were.

I now must be vigilant in trying to maintain my improvements and

push for more.

I think the worst thing about the implants is the unknown. There is

never a time where you can relax and feel safe with them. Plus, I

hated the way they felt. Even though I felt more womanly, it wasn't

that natural looking. I was as flat as a boy with absolutely no

curve at all before implants. Even though I was only a 34B with

implants, I looked

almost like I had 2 balls on my chest. I could always feel the tabs

on them, and I always could feel ridges. Plus, I lost sensation in

my nipples after surgery and thus lost a whole area of sexual

pleasure that I used to experience. So while I am sure my husband

liked them more, I liked them less. Not a good trade off and there

is no way they can guarantee that you won't have permanent loss of

sensation. Now the area under my breasts are numb as well. They

don't squish like

normal breasts and while most girls' breasts slope somewhat, these

didn't. The truth is that natural breasts are usually more

attractive unless you had a problem like tubular breasts. If you go

to the photos section, I think you might agree that most of these

ladies actually looked better without the implants. I know you said

that your chosen profession calls for that, but are you willing to

change the shape and feel of your body to please someone else'e idea

of what is beautiful? I applaud people like calista flockhart and

gwyneth paltrow and nicole kidman who are beautiful and proud of

their bodies the way they are. I don't know if you read Kacey's

story in Parade magazine a few weeks back. Kacey is a very pretty

young lady who wanted to look even better. She was interviewed for a

tv segment called I Want a Famous Face. She said she wanted to look

like julia roberts in erin Brockavich. So she got implants. She

now has Rheumatoid Arthritis and is often in deabilitating pain.

She is now spending almost all her time and energy getting the word

out to people who are in their teens and twenties that implants can

ruin your life. If you personally like the way you

look, I would never get the implants. They are just not natural

feeling. The ones that were more natural feeling were even more

dangerous. I don't know hanna, if you like yourself the way you are,

I wouldn't mess with it. It is not natural and you sure sound

pretty enough just the way God made you. I would sure hate for you

to ever have to regret a choice that could potentially cost you so

much. ANd your family --we have women on here who breastfed with

implants and their children are sick too. If I were you, I would

pray about it and ask God to give you a sense of peace about which

way to go. If after that you have any doubts at all about getting

them, I would say don't get them. I will say a prayer that God

gives you a sense of direction in this.

Hannah, and remeber although I didnt get sick for 7 or 8 years I think because I worked out all the time, hardly ever drank, took vitamins, was very young, and healthy, and my family is healthy, perhaps my immunity handled it longer than others. For me, it took was longer.But I wish it hadnt. No matter what the time elegth, I got very ill, Auot immnue illness ill. I wish I had gotten them out sooner. But if you are drinking ,smoking, or ever plan on having kids or dont take care of yourself, your chances of becoming ill are elevated. Just my opinion.
