Hi -Marie

After asking you when your surgery is I came across your posting with

your date.....

I just want to wish you the best of luck and will send prayers from

Austrlia ) to you. You sound like you have done your homework and

are very happy with your surgeon, that's great.

I will be eagerly waiting to hear how you are through .

Take care,

Keli.

I can't say that BI alone caused my GB problems, What I have read is

that hysterectomies & being on HRT can contribute to GB disease. And

almost all silicone BI women I've met, that had BI for any considerable

amt of time, have had GB disease. Kind of reminds me of the chicken &

the egg; which one came first. Did the BI contribute to my hysterectomy

(age 31; no kids)? I'll never forget what my ob/gyn told me after she

did the 2nd lapro to laser the endro just 9 months after the 1rst one:

She was amazed how much more there was to laser in just 9 months. About

5 months after that, my uterus prolapsed. She said this was very

uncommon in women who never had children.

I am just very exhausted right now from maybe doing too much. Heard this

was common after GB surgery. I just hope nothing else has to come out

soon!

There was a previous post on the issue of hysterectomies and

oophrectomies on the group. Here is a snip from it:

" Studies by Cook

in 1997 showed almost a 3-fold increase in hysterectomies and

oopherectomies

in implanted women. Dowís own research showed hormonal effects of

silicone.

The research from Tulane University published in June 1996 shocked the

scientific community by proving that mild hormone-disrupting

chemicals produce

significantly dramatic hormonal effects when they were used in

combinations.

( " Synergistic Activation of Estrogen Receptor with Combinations of

Environmental Chemicals, " 272 Science 1489-1492 6/7/96).

Combinations of two

or three chemical compounds, which are commonly found in the

environment at

low levels, are up to 1600 times more powerful than any of the

chemicals

individually in their impact on hormones. Chemicals, which

individually do

not disrupt hormones, tremendously magnifies the ability of other

chemicals to

disrupt hormones. With silicone, what happens when compounds break

down in

the body and combine with other compounds, chemicals from foods and

medications, or environmental sources? "

This was written by a woman known as " Nurse Boone " . I don't think

we will ever be able to definitively trace all of our ills to a

specific point with implants, but I do believe that there is a

cascade of disease processes that occur once we experience the

initail impact and subsequent degeneration of our bodies from these

bags of poison.
