Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I didn't mean I feel guilty completetly I just feel like I didn't make a good choice. If I had done half or even a third of the research I have done now about explant on implants...I would have NEVER EVER done it...but I do feel 100% I was lied too before I got them and after when I was having problems...I feel my PS let me have a spine surgery I didn't need cause he didn't tell me people do get sick from saline implants...granted I did have a bad disc in my neck,but the surgeon told me 1000 of people have bad disc with no pain...I think I was one..cause the pain now I know was from implants not a bad disc cause I went thru that surgery and I still feel bad....MAKE SENSE ?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 , I had my bi-lumen implants (saline outer/silicone gel inner) for 20 long years. All I can say is that I am very relieved...like a huge pressure has lifted out of my body. Yes, I will be healing for some time, but I can actually walk for 1 hr. now and before explant I had to drive everywhere. You know where all the symptoms are listed at the begining of the messages...well, I had 95% of them...now I have 80% of them, and going away relatively fast. I know it will take awhile to heal, but I am a firm believer in supernatural healing by God. I have experienced and seen many miracles in my lifetime, my 2 grandchildren being 2 of them, and continue to believe for more. I am stubborn and refuse to suffer anymore!!! Especially, at the level I had been. What a nightmare! Ofcourse, you all can relate to that, and that's what helps my healing so much...loving women that validate me. I will write my story some day soon. Molly has encouraged me too by the way she shared today. I was really moved...what a heartfelt story, as all are in their own way. I'm not ready yet...it's very emotional for me right now. After I move this week and settle into my new (well, new-old home) I lived with my oldest son before I moved out to the Bible College for a year, and we're going to be room-mates again. I'm looking forward to having some time this winter to reflect and maybe write my story, and maybe write a small book regarding the healing journey of implanted/explanted women. Who knows what God has instore...all I know is I want to educate others so they can make a decision based on the truth and not all the lies that are allowed to permeate the medical field. Again, this does not include all medical personnel, as I've had some very loving, and supportive doctors and medical professionals in my life, my psychiatrist being one of them. He even admitted that breast implants cause depression -- this is physically, not just the psychological stress. Well, I should rest now, while Emma is having her nap.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 , It bothers me that you feel guilty for "doing this to ourselves" . . . YOU are not the guilty one . . . It's the government, the medical profession, and the manufacturer's who should be asking for forgiveness . . . I never cease to be amazed at how indifferent some are at the suffering of others. All you did was believe those in whom you should be able to believe! You weren't wrong, they were - and still are! Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Rogene, we definitely made our decisions based on the information given. I really felt taken advantage of after I realized I didn't want them in my body, which was soon after my implant, by the way. I don't feel guilty for my past decision, however I am accountable for the decision I made to implant. I would never have done it had I had the truth told to me, so my plight now is to make the manufacturers accountable also. That is what is disturbing, what you said about their indifference & apathy. I really believe God wants us to be love in action, and not just sit back and let the " evil-doers " as Bush, would say....continue to ruin the health of women & children, not to mention the husbands that suffer & worry at the sight of their sick mates. O.K. I'm on a soap-box now!!!!! lol Love, Sunny > > , > > It bothers me that you feel guilty for " doing this to ourselves " . . . > > YOU are not the guilty one . . .

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 We made the best decision we could at the time, with the information we had. That information was zilch, because plastic surgeons didn't tell us the risks -- and still don't. The government has been quiet, too, and supported the deception. > > , > > It bothers me that you feel guilty for " doing this to ourselves " . . . > > YOU are not the guilty one . . .

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Rogene, I agree wholeheartedly with what you said, that we were definately misled into making a decision that eventually harmed our bodies. I am just as frustrated and disgusted by the lies and carelessness of all the organizations involved with the silicone industry. However, I do take full responsibility for signing on the dotted line on this one. First, I wasn't pro-active in my researching, I had internet at the time and I just didn't do it. Why? Because I was afraid of what I might find. It was just easier for me to believe in my doctor. God gave me a beautiful healthy body, and I wasn't being a good stewart of the gift He gave me. Also, my motives were not right when I decided to get the implants. Now, years later and much closer to God, I realized that what I thought was good intentions for improving my own self esteem was really breaking the 10th Commandment. You know the one about coveting what we don't have. I wish I would have spent that money on getting professional healing to help me accept the wonderful body God had inteded for me to have. Yes, I had tremendous guilt when I first learned about my implants making me ill, but this is why Jesus came. To take away my guilt. I have been in spiritualy counseling for six months to help me deal with the emotions I have had since learning the cause of my sickness. I do thank God for the guilty feeling I had, because with it I had the desire to make things right with Him. God works in mysterious ways. If I had never gotten sick, I would never have had the chance to rid myself of the very thing I coveted. This whole experience has brought me closer to the image God truely intended, both inside and out.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 We all did, . The misconduct is not on our part but on the manufacturers and surgeons who lied about the risks. Or kept quiet - same thing. For years I dismissed the stories about the dangers, because doctors said they were safe! WHat a mistake that was. > > Thanks Rogene but I made the decision to get these damn things. ! But I > thought they were SAFE ! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
