I am not really sure what you meant by that but I realize not all the posts are what we are interested in, it is what you get when you join a support group. If you find the email is too much you can opt to read the posts from the website and that way you can pick and choose what you want to read, the only problem with doing it that way is that sometimes you miss something really interesting. I find that if I just delete the stuff I am not interested in it works pretty well, however if I belong to other groups too, it can get overwhelming.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi . I too am wondering what you mean by your analogy of "more meat and less potatoes."

[Guest guest]

Being a life long country girl of the south...it's an old saying. Meaning, that I am seeking specific facts that will help me to prepare for, plan, and undergo explant. Being a support group, I realize there is a lot of chit-chat (talking back and to.) I don't find some of the talking to be especially full of details that are helpful to making my decision. On the other hand I find the group is providing a lof of detailed information to help me achieve my goal of explant. I am just beginning to feel like I know enough about explanting and implant problems to start asking questions and see Dr.Kolb. Until a few months ago, I had not seen any research or news and implant failures. I guess this is because I have spent the last four yrs in major depression with brain fog, loss of interest in living and suicidal. And living in a small GA town with a weekly newspaper and out of the working world for the past 4 yrs, I lost touch with the world. I am learning to use the email and internet and just out of curiosity looked up implants.....There I found the group. I guess the problem I have is that I am when functioning better very interested in many topics and I read a lot of the "stuff" that is not related to my specific goal. See, I am a "counselor" and "servant" by trade and heart's desire, and I learn so I can share. I call myself a real "JACK OF ALL TRADES," because my interest and talents cover a broad range of topics. But I am not a specialist at anything but helping and serving. And that I have to watch, because I can allow myself to get bogged down and caught up with others and not take care of myself. Hope you have a better understanding now. Love to you (and tool). in Vidalia, GA

Dear and All:

I hope you find all the info you're looking for in order to receive the best medical help for your explantation--that is in part why some women are here. However, this is a "SUPPORT" group and as such it will bound to get chit chatty. Not all of us are in your situation of needing to be explanted as many of us have already been there and done that--and then there are folks like myself who are not physically ill from implants but have been screwed nonetheless. I do identify with your depression and suicidality as I have felt the same way when I looked at my disfigured body and wanting to blow my brains out. I can't tell you how fucking bad that feels -- to hate what you look like and want to die as a result. I'm better now but still struggling.

I for one would like it if the group were more "chatty" as I would find more comfort here. It's my opinion that it's not supportive ENOUGH given what all of us have been through. I don't think we talk enough here. Just my two cents worth......

While medical information is very important for treatment and decision making -- so is emotional support. I can't separate the importance between the two because we're all here for different reasons.

Take care.

-Marie

[Guest guest]

That was a terrific post---Marie! You write very well when

we get you to talk. . .if you are ever seeking direction--

there it is. . .you have a lot of brain/talent that I hope

will occupy the greatest amount of space in your

quest for self-esteem. . .eventually. If PMS gets your

pen flowing, I'll have to reconsider the progesterone.

You know, the average person (the ones who are definitely

not one-sided weird) is always looking to find elements

to add to a growing self-esteem--we, who were implanted,

are just hampered in that endeavor by some additional stuff. Some life philosophies believe that you came here in this

lifetime to learn--that this particular situation is teaching you

something that is far more important than your physical

appearance. Might be so--but really hard to deal with.

I've played with the thought that it is not the physical "change" that bothers us as much as the realization that

we fucked up in our decision-making process. . .kind of like

someone taking one for a fool. Maybe it was

because the world is changing, maybe it was because we

as women inherently place our trust in others or maybe we

will find out in the future that this helped us in some way

and we'll get over our anger--who knows? I personally

feel it's probably all three things.

Later. . .

Hi Friend!

I agree with all of you're three points--even the PMS--LOL! You are a wise woman and I'm glad you're my friend. Thanks.

-Marie

[Guest guest]

Will do. Thanks.

LM

[Guest guest]

Thank you for that compliment, -Marie. Glad

you are mine, also.

[Guest guest]

Hi :

I hope today is going well for you.

I did not mean to imply that you're not supportive--you are. It's just that it's been my observation that as a whole, we're quiet--myself included. You're good about being chatty--I like that.

Thanks again for contacting me after my surgery. I'm still having discomfort and I will need more surgery in Sept. My breasts were so badly butchered that my PS could not get it all fixed in one shot. The worst part is over, now I have to go through what my PS refers to as "minor touchups" (areola complex).

How's it going with you? Are you feeling better these days?

-Marie

[Guest guest]

Agree. But do think the reposts are good if they are

newsworthy--new women may not know a lot of stuff.

And some women do just read--but some eventually join

in, or write directly to someone to ask a question they

read on here. . . I know that at least two women who

remained quiet decided not to implant! So good is being

done, we just don't get the benefit of knowing about it.

Oh girl that was well written and to the point and I also agree with you that this group doesn't always provide enough support or chit chat if you want to call it that HEE HEE. I tried at first when I became moderator to get things going in that direction, but when I was the only one talking it got rather boring LOL. Anyhow I agree the medical info is great and the ideas are wonderful, but sometimes just having someone to talk to is helpful and quite frankly sometimes the other stuff can be depressing and get us feeling bad and hopeless too.

I for one have had to stop logging on as much as I used to for periods of time just to get away from the sadness and gloom of the whole issue of implants. But this group is my baby and I always try to come back to it, to help, to inform and to urge women to get help, to get explanted, to find a good PS and to try to get healthy and that it is possible.

I also would love to see more discussion and less repost of information, and I love to help women who need support and info as well, however if they don't speak up, how do we even know they are there right? I am only able to help if people ask or reach out, as are any of us. I have worked hard on this site, posting stories, photos etc, without a whole lot of feedback to know if what I am doing is even helping or if anyone is even looking at this stuff! SO it is hard to keep working on a site when you don't get that feedback.

Please ladies lets get more involved, after all this site is your site, our site, so it is and can be what you make it into.

Hugs

Hey I didn't think you were talking about me, I agree with what you are saying in general we are all kind of quiet.

I have been doing really good as far as all my implant related symptoms, but as I told you I was having lots of problems with my stomach since that damned H-Pylori stuff. I think that I developed an ulcer from it, cause of the way that it comes and goes. It sucks but for right now I am feeling good.

I thought that it might have been my gall bladder so I had an US done the other day and I don't have gall stones, though I was told I have some sludge or sand in it, so I am trying to do some gall bladder flushing, which I am not 100% sure I believe in! Anyhow I will try it, but the Dr said that they don't really remove them because of some slugde unless there is other reasons, so I guess I am clear of that.

I am seeing a wonderful specialist next week and if I am still having the pain then I will most likely get an upper gi scope to see if it is indeed an ulcer, the other consideration is that my h pylori wasn't all eradicated by the antibiotics in which case I will need to retreat it. YUCK.

I have literature that one can cure the ulcers and the h pylori with large doses of oregano oil and capsules, so for now that is what I am doing and it is going well, like I said I am good right now, the thing about ulcers is that they can be chronic and continue on a cycle of healing and reactivating. I have been under some stress as you know, with my daughter, etc, so who knows right?

anyhow thanks for asking about me.

I am sorry that you have to have more surgery, but I am sure that it will be worth it in the end, it sounds like your ps is a peach!

Well lets keep chatting up girls!

hugs

Oh I totally agree that is why I repost stuff all the time, even though I have stuff in the files section I am not sure everyone gets in there to read it so I repost it every so often too. I also do agree that some just read and that they do benefit, it can feel like your beating your head up against a wall at times, and then you get an email from someone you helped and that makes you see that it was all worth it.

I am never going to stop being involved in this issue ever.
