new implants and scared

[Guest guest]

hi kathy,

the first 2 months after i had the surgery i felt

fine. the first sign that something wasn't right

became evident in my eyes and face. i had extremely

dark circles and looked pale all the time even though

i tanned on a regular basis. at first i thought it was

just stress because i was going to school, working

and knew i would need to have another operation due to

rippling and unevenness. not to mention, i wasn't

eating right because i was so focused on achieving

perfection. after about three months i soon lost all

energy and hadn't menstruated since surgery. the

ob/gym was convinced it was due to stress and lectured

me about eating right. he prescribed progesterone to

get my cycle going again. and at that point i was so

tired of looking sick and tired, i forced myself to

start eating right. but i never gained back any

strength or energy, i'm tired constantly. in fact, i

quit going to the gym for a month, which i loved so

much since i quit smoking a year ago. soon i noticed

my lymph nodes near my groin began to swell. then

shortly after thanksgiving i noticed my body started

changing, my thighs just got bigger and bigger. it

just came on so suddenly. i panicked. i couldn't

understand what was happening. i began working out

again but soon found out i did not have the same

strength or stamina i once had. the muscle in my legs

felt so tight and achy i can barely walk the treadmill

or do the stairmaster. usually i'm a limber person

since i used to be a gymnast, i now have trouble

streching because the muscles feel like rubber bands

stretched beyond capacity. they almost feel like they

could tear at any moment. now my joints hurt too along

with various other things. my body is changing

everyday. and everyday i sink deeper and deeper into

depression. where i once had a body like susan lucci,

small and petite, i now look like the Pillsbury dough

boy. i could go on but i think a lot of other things

are related to not having a period. all of which i

blame on the implants.

I haven't talked to my plastic surgeon recently since

i've been running around from doctor to doctor and

having test after test and doing research which is how

i found you guys. now i feel like i can't trust him.

he told me implants were safe. in fact, he wanted to

put silicone in on my second surgery. but by the grace

of God i canceled at the last minute. do i trust him

to do the explant? do i need to find a surgeon who is

a specialist in explants? i live in pensacola,

florida. the closet doctors on the site's list is

mobile, alabama and gainseville,fl.

i'm really worried how i'm going to look if i have

this done. i was a B cup on the left and an A cup on

the right with virtually no fat and tissue left due to

extreme weight loss. will my body return to normal

again, breast and overall? i am so fearful. but i

can't imagine keeping these in.

i need to talk to a doctor who understands and can

answer these questions.

does anybody know dr. williams in mobile, alabama?
