! how exciting. Congrats and blessings! may I ask, was Dr.

Melmed the PS who put them in? if not, did you have a hard time

finding a Ps to do it enbloc, or was he recommended to you? Thank

you!

HURRAY!!! , those awful poisonous bags are out of your

body!! I am only 3 weeks post-plant, and am feeling so great. It's

just so wonderful to be free...mentally, as well. It was such a

burden for 20 yrs.! Healing prayers are coming your way everyday.

Take it easy and don't do too much. It sure is tempting, but I did a

little too much the first 3 days, I guess I was still feeling the

effects of the anaesthetic and the holy spirit, ofcourse, from all

the prayers.

Love & Blessings,

Sunny

Congratulations, . Speaking of mentally free (Sunny), my

sister just e-mailed me and told me I have an " inner glow " since

getting explanted. Last year my skin was ashen and gray looking,

and my eyes looked haunted, and my normally full hair looked flat

and dull. Now I notice my hair feels great and looks full again,

and my skin has color again. Gosh, if six months with those bags in

my body made me so sick, I can't imagine what I'd be like if I had

them in for years, scary to think about. I'm still on the mend, but

I have so much peace.

Sunny that's how DR M explained it to me once..hahahah He said your implants are like a thorn...once you remove the thorn your body goes back to normal,,,I so pray this is right. Have your symptoms got better with explant ? How are you feeling ? Did you have a lot of symptoms ? Thanks KAren

[Guest guest]

Sis, my family have been commenting about how " radiant " I look now.

Even the rash on my chest is fading already. My family doctor said I

should use moisturizer...uh, I do all the time! It looks like a

fungal infection to me, Doc???? Oh, well...he did support me wholly

in my explant. I've lost most of my big tummy now and am really

motivated to eat well, because I have hope to recover. It really did

feel like the " thorn in the finger " analogy. The implants were the

thorn and my whole body, the finger. All infected and inflammed.

Oh, thank God and you ladies for all the strength to see me through

explant.

Let's keep on keeping on,

God bless you all - ALL-ways!

Sunny . . . I am soooooooo thrilled for you . . . Life is beautiful again! . . . You deserve every bit of it! I do want to comment to others that you've been working hard at making your body healthy for a long time . . . That, unless they are as committed to getting better as you are, that they may not experience such outstanding results as quickly. Rogene

I have a rash on my chest too-it's not really a rash, but it's a redness on my chest. Some days it's a lot worse than other days. I have a photo somewhere of it being really noticeable.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I've had it for as long as I

can remember! My Mom had something similar (no implants), so I guess

I just didn't associate it with my implants, thinking it was

something hereditary.

, as my email said, I honestly feel like a different woman! Yes,

I still have some aches and pains...my hands are actually 80% less

painful, as are my feet. I could hardly walk in the morning. Within

days after explant, my swollen hands (silicone hands) went down and I

looked like a 58 yr. old again, with some wrinkles in my hands.

Towards the end of having my implants in, I felt like my body was under

so much pressure, like I was going to explode AND implode at the same

time. It's hard to describe...really weird stuff.

I am slowly able to lift more as the days go by. I LOVE my new (I

should say old) breast!! I'm about a 34A or B...was 32A when I started

all this 20 yrs. ago, but I was also very petite back then. I gained

40 lbs. with my implants...mainly because I felt so crappy and

developed somewhat of a food addiction, especially in the evenings.

Now I'm able to get on track with proper live-it (I don't like the

word " die-it " ...it reminds me of when I WAS dying from toxic

poisoning. My prayers are with you everyday!!

Love, hugs, affectionate kisses on the cheek - otherwise known as

butterfly kisses lol,

I can only echo what Sunny says here. My swelling has also gone down, as has

the pain.

I had a cane at the last (before my explant) and could not walk across my living

room.

That has changed so very much.

Rogene, thanks for the support! It sure feels good to be renewed. I

can only thank God for the supernatural, fast healing, as for the

last year I was extremely ill, no matter what I ate or how much I

prayed. I gave up eating healthily because I was so hopeless and

depressed. It has been nothing short of a miracle that I feel so

good right now!!

Love & Prayers,

Sunny

I'm glad your chest rash went away!

I've seen a lot of posts about people gaining weight

with implants. I myself have gained almost 40 pounds.

What exactly causes the weight gain? I mean, I'm

still fairly active, and eat very healthy....????

There was an interesting article in the New York Times lately about weight gain

and

obesity. There is a theory that it may be linked to inflammation. If so, that

would also

make perfect sense in our situation,

From the NYT article:

Another line of investigation in the field of infectobesity concerns

inflammation, a

corollary of infection. Obese people have higher levels of two proteins related

to

inflammation, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. This may suggest that an

infectious

agent has set off some sort of derangement in the body's system of fat

regulation, making

the infected person fat. A different interpretation is not about obesity

causation but about

its associated risks. Some scientists, including Gordon's colleagues at

Washington

University, are trying to see whether the ailments of obesity (especially

diabetes and high

blood pressure) might be caused not by the added weight per se, but by the

associated

inflammation.

I am so glad to see this. I forgot to put in my initial post about the weight gain I experienced. At 24 I went from an A to C - and was active, etc, didn't change anything in terms of eating, etc. Withthin 3 months I had gained more than 20 lbs. It was horrible and made no sense for a 24 year old who was active. Molly Bloom <mollyb54@...> wrote: There was an interesting article in the New York Times lately about weight gain and obesity.
