Re: [BreastImplantSurvivorNetwork] Lea and Judy

Sweet Sandy, I agree with you; however, Judy cannot afford to pay to have her implants removed. It would be great if her plastic surgeon was experienced at removing the implants and the capsules. She must make sure that she has the very best surgeon possible, because we all know that you had so many problems because you were not cleaned out properly. We hope that you are getting better now that you have had all of the garbage removed.

Love you....Lea

Health Issues

Hi everyone,I had been thinking about implants for years and finally deceided just to go ahead and do it. I meet with two surgeons. I deceided to go with the second one. It was a female doctor and I just loved her after the consultation.I too had heard alot of bad things about the silicone so saline was the option. I was never told that the shell was made from silicone.I had the implants put in November of 2006. After healing for a while I noticed a big difference in the sizes so, she told me I needed more surgery to correct the problem. They would just open the incision site and add more fluid through the valve. Which we did.After that, in June of 2007 I developed an infection. The doctors plan was to put me on 2 different antibotics for 6 weeks. At the end of that period it was better but the doctor called and said she didnt think that I should keep the implants in.She even admitted that I got the infection during the 2nd surgery. I was told that they would have to be removed and wait 3months for the infection to clear before putting them back in.I waited the 3 months and went back for the second set of implants. Soon after I developed weird acking all over. That lasted a a few weeks, then my elbows started to hurt. I didnt think much of it at the time, thought it may have been work related. Then it June of 2008 it really hit me. I started feeling "not well". Cant really explain it, just felt sick. Then the joint pain started, first in the fingers on my right hand then my feet. God, when I got out of bed in the morning it felt like I was walking on rocks.I have headaches and a fuzzy feeling in my head most of the time.Most the time my hands and feet feel like thier "vibrating". I forget peoples names that Ive know for years. Somtimes I walk like I have been drinking, off balance feeling, and sometimes dizziness.I feel sick to my stomach sometimes to.I read all the posts about how breast implants have caused all these illnesses and I know deep down that my implants have to be the cause of my problems too, I just dont know for sure. Can someone get back to me with thier opinion? I did have blood work(CBC) done and everything came back ok. Im so scared, I want to have these things taken out but I cant afford it, I was just let go from a job I had been with for 10 years, due to lack of work. Im still trying to pay off the loan from having the implants inPlease help!!
