Re: Introduction.....Lynda

[Guest guest]

Well, I am a social worker, so a good one to ask that question of.

Self esteem and self-confidence are inside jobs, and nothing we do on

the surface will ever fix us. We have to find out why we feel so

inferior or so unloveable, and work on that.

Dr. Huang of Denver is about as close by air, and a few thousand less

in fees for the total with anesthesiologist and hospital. Each is excellent.

Many women are back at work within a week or less after explant,

picking up a child for a few days would be the hardest part.

Thank you so much for your response.

I am in Michigan, and have yet to see a PS here any closer than Dr. Feng in Ohio? Do you know of any?

I am scared also as I have two 18 month olds here at home to take care of. I remember how hard it was after getting implanted...and I just had me to take care of then... LOL

I was just reading 's post about her hormones and how hard it is to feel good about yourself after getting the surgery done and it almost brings tears to my eyes. I know that is going to be the hardest part. How do we ever begin to have self confidence again when we didn't really have it to begin with? Isn't that why we ended up with BI's? I am afraid.
