Re: Some more comments needed here ... thanks!

[Guest guest]

I know I'm new, but here is my contribution to "Some more comments needed here ... thanks!"My perspectiive....No, I do not believe that plastic surgery is going too far. I think the pressure of society/media to look perfect has gone too far. Not only am I a nurse, but I am the recipient of plastic surgery. If I could turn back the clock, I'd certainly change what I did. But I can't. I had a breast augmentation. I did it purely for aesthetic reasons. I had already had 2 children and as result, my breasts looked like....oh nevermind...the point is, I just wanted to fill up the extra tissue that was already there from pregnancy. It was great at first, but it takes a few years to get the full side effects from the implants. If I could show you my skin I would. It's disgusting. Words can't even explain it. Lets just say I'll never be able to wear a dress (much less a formal gown) or a bathing suit again! And that's only 1 of the 15 adverse effects I have. Needless to say, everyday I ask myself....What the hell was I thinking?!!!It was my choice to have it done, but it was one that I truly regret. We should all be a little less critical of each other and ourselves....

I can relate to the " what the hell was I thinking " comment. I had

my explant after six months, but this has been the worst 9 months of

my life, and I'm not saying I've had a trouble-free life - like many

of us I've had my share of traumas - but this was by far the biggest

trauma I've ever experienced.

Christene . . . You (and everyone else) is welcome to

contribute your feelings and thoughts to the group! .

.. . That's what makes this group so wonderful!

You are sooooooooo right . . . The women who still

think the size of their breasts is priority number one

are few and far between in this group! . . . I just

wish we could reach all the young women out there

before they make the same mistake! The idea that the

children born to women with implants may suffer sends

chills through me daily!

Hugs,

The degree of coverup on the kids issue blows me away!

.. . . Yesterday I learned that three doctors met

untimely deaths (two accidents, one died in his sleep

at 47) before they could testify in one implant

women's case where kids were affected. Another doctor

was given an overseas job. Another shut his mouth, and

dropped his patients after getting a new office

building!

The mothers can't be blamed for this! . . . As long as

the medical establishment thinks silicone injections

are dangerous, and wouldn't recommend feeding a baby

from a moldy bottle, BUT thinks that free silicone and

moldy breast implants don't hurt babies, their heads

are stuck in the sand (or up their ***).

There are a group of us who are leaning heavily on the

" powers that be " . . . Please feel free to join in! .

.. . Contact EVERYONE who may have a say . . .

Especially your congressmen/women and governmental

agencies responsible for overseeing devices, drugs,

health, toxins, environment, etc. We have plenty

information in the archives to support this effort -

not to mention your own personal experience!

God Bless,

Rogene
