Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi, My name is Janie and I am scheduled for surgery for implants on April 7th. I have paid almost $7,000 for implantation under the muscle and have everything scheduled and ready to go. I have spent many weeks researching the " safetyness " of the surgery and have a few friends who have been recently implanted by the same surgeon within the last 10 months to 2 years, all very happy with their results and have, at the present time, no adverse results. I am 42 years old, have one child whom I nursed for almost 2 1/2 years and was always about a size 34a/b. I have never been totally unhappy with my size, just always would have liked to be bigger, like a C or maybe a small D. Ironically, I am a big advocate of alternative medicine and natural health and yet still wanted implants. As I said, I have spent a lot of time researching and had spent a lot of time on 's website, reading about all the " success " stories. I have read many, many of your stories and posts and I'm quite shocked, surprised, horrified, and saddened by what I have read and seen and about how much is not disclosed up front. As I said, I have friends who think this is the greatest thing they have ever done for themselves and some are still planning on having and nursing more children. I don't know if they will ever experience the problems that I have come to know about, but at the very least, I am sure they will probably endure more surgerys as their implants age, if nothing else. I have tried to talk with them about what I have learned, but they think it is me that is overreacting etc. Anyway, the reason I am writing is to first and foremost thank you all for providing a medium to learn the facts about what so many women are experiencing first-hand as a result of implantation. I have, without a doubt, decided to cancel my surgery. I don't know if I'll get my money back, but in that event, I will consider myself fortunate to have come out with only that loss. I hope you don't mind if I continue to stay on this site as I wish you all well in your recoveries and would like to lend any support that I can. Again, for all your stories and truths to what you have been through, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Warm Regards, Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
