I'm so glad to see that you are inspired to believe in your beauty as you were created, and to trust God through it all. You stated exactly what the deception is with plastic surgery....we can be fooled into believing things that really aren't true at all. Our worth does not come from our ability to get ogled by men. This will be a time of growth for you. I am so excited to hear that you are with a guy who is excited about your natural beauty! He's a smart one and one to keep around, it sounds like!

Allow yourself alot of time to heal. I had my implants for 9 months, but it took me over 4 years to get rid of that fatigue and feel better. I have Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease as a result of my short exposure to breast implants, so I need to be on Armour thyroid daily, but that is it. I have my energy back and Iive a normal life once again. If you have not had your thyroid checked out for autoimmune issues, I suggest that you get some testing done to know. It appears that thyroid disease is pretty common amongst breast implant recipients. You will want to check for thyroid antibodies.

I'm proud of you! You're going through an experience that will be difficult, but in the end you will be stronger for it. Just keep focused on what the truth is, and what is really important in life....God will carry you. Trust Him!

Thank you for all your inspiration. I am beginning to realize thatGod put me thru all these illnesses to show me that I didnt needthose implants to make me a real woman. I just needed to believe thetruth that he made me perfect in his eyes and for me to see myselfthat way cause he made my body the way he wanted it. I am startingto feel somewhat fatigued but I know my energy will return and Iwill feel better than I have felt in 13 years. I cant believe I haveput so much focus on my looks and having so many plastic surgiesthat I endangered my health. But none of the surgeries eversatisfied me. I know that the Dr. that took my implants out wasdoing the best thing for me when he said at this point I need towait a few months before I put them back in. It has given me achance to see what a fool I have been for so many years. I am notmarried but I have a wonderful boyfriend who is very supportive

andhas been with me thru all the health and mental crises I have beenthru. He is more excited than I am that I am deciding to do this forme and my health. He tells me I am more beatiful now with smallbreast than I was with the implants that were not even good to lookat because one of them has always been hard. It just always made menlook at me and I thought that was boosting my self esteem when now Iknow that I was just fooling myself.
