I'm right there with you. I was also too focused on

outer beauty. How can we not be when the media pushes

it down our throats? None of that matters once we

leave this earth! I can't waste this short life on it

anymore. I know it's a hard lesson to learn. Once your

health is in jeopardy the things of real importance

become clearer.

I just found a doctor and go for my first consult

Friday.

Where do you live? Have you looked at the files and

links to find a doctor? I suggest you begin there. And

take it one day at a time. Focus on getting better!

God Bless,

Liz

One thing I have noticed about the women who post on this site -

there are some very spiritual, incredibly strong women here. I

can't tell you how much growth I have experienced as a result of

corresponding with all of you. It is truly a blessing and an honor

to be in the company of all of you.

MK,

Please don't beat yourself up! . . . If some of the

(supposedly) most intelligent people in this country

(the medical doctors) can be convinced that implants

are safe, how are we supposed to know any different. .

..

The ones who should feel shame are those who approve,

market and install breast implants with all the

evidence to the contrary. They perpetuate the lie that

they are safe . . . for the sake of lining their own

pockets.

Something that keeps coming to mind when I begin

getting angry over this is the knowledge that God has

his own special punishment waiting for these people. .

.. Then I can let go and focus on my own life.

The implant experience has a way of making one

reappraise their values and their life. From what I've

seen, sick or not, we've become better people for the

experience! . . . And you are too!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

I am so glad that you are feeling more positive today and that you

had a good talk with your husband! When we can't change something

that has happened--like the past--then it becomes a negative force

in our life to dwell on it. Regret has to be one of the most

useless and dangerous emotions that we can feel. Like guilt and

jealousy and resentment, it only produces anxiety, unhappiness and

negative emotions that destroy our health. We can choose daily to

see the glass half empty or half full. Right now, I would say your

glass is half full! You have found your problem, and thankfully

there is a solution! I was so very happy when I found out that I

actually could get better by getting explanted--that there was

hope! It has been quite a journey getting back to health--with some

immediate improvements and some that I have worked on a long time.

All in all, I am so grateful that God gave me a second chance to be

healthy! I am praying for you to find the right surgeon for your

explant and for a return to health for you too!

Hugs, Kathy
