Re: sick all the time

Yes it sounds like its your implants...we all have test after test and they all come back normal it's weird ! You need to make sure you have as much as possible if not all of your capsule removed. I also heard explant it not as bad as implants...I get mine out in OCT. Take Care

Hi , Welcome to . . . The key to successful recovery is proper removal . . . That means your doctor takes the time to remove them en bloc to prevent any contaminanted materials from spilling into your chest . .. If that's not possible, the minimum should be a complete capsulectomy. Also . .. the doctor should put in drains that will stay until there is no significant drainage . . . Who/where is your doctor? Explant surgery is usually much easier than implant surgery . .. You may need to get serious about detoxing . .. It wouldn't hurt to start now. However, you may not see any significant results until after your implants are out. Hugs and prayers, Rogene

Hi ,

I've been coming to this site for a year now, and I'm always amazed

to see the same scenario playing itself out again and again. We

have all these very similar symptoms, and when the doctor's can link

nothing to our ailments by taking bloodwork, they assume we are nuts

and need to be put on medication. I am very sorry that you are not

well, but very glad that you found us. I got implants in May of

2005, and had them explanted in November of 2005. Like most of the

women at this site, I've been through hell because of implants, and

even though at times I feel a bit traumatized when I think back, I

am so glad to have the implants out of my body. I'm still on the

mend, I have good days and bad days, but the one thing that never

wavers is my belief that the saline implants that were put in my

body about a year and half ago made me ill. I also never question

my reasoning for having them removed, and I love my body more than

ever without them. I felt beautiful before I got implants, and felt

ugly while I had them, and now without them my family says I've got

an inner glow. I got sick right away, with all these odd symptoms

that I had never had in my life, so there really was no question in

my mind about why I was sick. My gynecologist believed they were

making me sick, and he said he doesn't like implants. My

psychologist didn't believe they were making me sick at first, she

was trying to help me accept what I had done to my body - but she's

a believer now. Especially after I told her about this group, and I

told her there are plastic surgeons who specialize in implant

illness and explantation. She also found it quite interesting that

on the same day that I went to see my original plastic surgeon (the

implanting one), there was another patient in his office that same

day, just like me, sick, crying, begging the doctor to remove the

implants.

Make sure that the plastic surgeon removes the capsules, and uses

the " en bloc " procedure. Also, insist that the doctor use drains.

For me and many others, explant is much less painful than getting

implants. I didn't need much pain medicine, and in a week's time I

was back to school (I was a student at the time, after being

downsized from the company I worked for).

Best wishes to you,

Sis

Hi , Oh, yet another woman suffering....and a single mom at that. We see it all too often! I know you want to get rid of your toxic bombs, but be very, very careful about jumping into explant! You said you were getting them out in two weeks....who is doing it? The danger with explant is in not having it done correctly! We have seen this a few times on our group, where someone still suffers after not having a correct removal of the implant and scar tissue, and while some improvements may occur, over the long term, illness can remain. I know you want your life back--I was there too--and it can happen. But you have got to make sure you use a plastic surgeon that has YOUR interests in mind, not his. His is to pop those implants out of you and get you out of there as fast as he can. Yours is to have him take the proper amount of time to clean you out, removing not only the

implants, but the scar tissue surrounding the implant as well, and to use drains to let your body be relieved of any junk in your body that may accumulate. You are much better off letting that stuff out than dealing with it after he closes you up. So, you may have to put the brakes on your surgery if you are not absolutely convinced that you are using a surgeon who will do this explant carefully. It has happened that some of our women have had to go back for a second surgery, just to remove that capsule...I've seen it more times than I care to count, and it shouldn't have to happen! But it is the one thing that stands in the way of healing completely or just healing temporarily and possibly getting worse. Let us know what's up with your surgery! We care, and we want you to be able to be a healthy mom to your kids!

, sorry it took so long to reply...I'm in the middle of a

move, 4 weeks post-explant, and looking after 4 grandkids for 3

days!!

I'm really, really excited for you to be getting those toxic bags

removed. I have been feeling so much better after my 20 yrs. of

suffering, mentally & physically with those health hazards.

Keep connected to this support site, at all cost! I have had SO

much loving support before & after explant.

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
