Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 a, I have been around 128 lbs (5'7 " ) for a long long time. When I started to get sick with this implant crud, I shot up to almost 140. I had to buy bigger pants. Since explant, I am now at 122! Too skinny if you ask me, but I can't seem to keep weight on. I am sure cutting sugar, flour and processed foods out of my diet has a lot to do with it. So, there is great hope that you will lose weight once the implants are gone. I am so excited, you'll be in my state tomorrow Hugs, Lynn > > > Thank you all for support, guidance and insight. > > WOW! > > All I can say is I am overwhelmed with information > > and astounded that I did not figure this out sooner. > > > > I know what I need to do and anticipate traveling > > for > > a consultation very soon.
