Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Went to see my favorite ob/gyn yesterday to have an exam to see why I have stopped having periods and if its related to the implants. He was apalled to see how sick I have been and offered to help!! Great man--chief of staff of a womens hospital here in San Diego. He has helped me with a lot including the loss of two babies, one at 7 mos gestation. Anyway, after his kind words of encouragement, I was on the way home and was hit with something awesome! (I have been trying to teach my 9 and 4 yo daughters this but never seemed to grasp it fully myself). Through all the trials of being so sick for a few months and facing having the boobs I wanted so bad removed, I now know that my value as a good human being, mother, wife and a friend does not balance on whether or not I look like a 20 year old super model with a perfect body and boobs!! There is a lot more to life than being noticed for that. Hurrah. Hopefully I can get my health back so I can share this with my two girls. Love to you all!!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 KathyG, You are SO RIGHT! . . . The media bombards us with images that result in our feeling inadequate, regardless of our age, looks. Most young women don't realize the images they see aren't real! As a result they strive for perfection that never has, never will exist. . . so they are doomed to be forever dissatisfied! I hope your doctor will help you, and will help spread the word about the dangers of implants . . . Maybe you could put him in contact with Dr. Gilbert Lee in SD.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 When I was in my OB/GYN's office on Wed. I was looking at a magazine that is published here in San Diego entitled, " San Diego Magazine " . It has lots of local stuff and subjects from around here. The interesting part was the cover stated " Top 20 Doctors " in San Diego...a survey where all doctors rated their peers. Dr Lee was included in the 20. Pretty impressive!!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Kathy g I hope that you get your health back too! Three years ago I thought I was going to die and would leave my precious 13 year old all alone. I am so much better today. still have some problems I am working on, but basically I can live my life again. Three years ago, I couldn't even go to the mall without the greatest degree of effort. Now I can shop all day most of the time!
