Things that need to be said

September 28, 2001

Lately I am getting lots of corespondence from women with implants

experiencing the same things that we all have and still so confused

and not sure that it is the implants, well as Patty remembers I was

certainly dead set against accepting it was my implants that made me

sick, even though it was so obvious.

I would just like to say that if you are having doubts about it,

stick close to this group and don't stop reading and posting, it kept

me from making a fatal choice to keep my implants.

When ever I start to get down about the fact that I still have issues

such as pain I always take myself back to when I had implants and how

bad I really was.

I was so brain fogged I couldn't even notice the pain, I was so sick

I cried everyday, my chest rash was so red I avoided low neck tops

cause it looked horrible, I had no energy to work out, I avoided

social situations because I was constantly worried about " How I will

feel " while there, I mostly stayed home except I did go to work I had

to, other than that my socilal life was zero, If I did plan a date or

an evening or something it took me two days to a week of bedrest to

recover, if I decided to have a drink of alcohol I would be so sick

the next day I wished I was dead, I thought about suicide often, I

was constantly calling my mom and telling her I thought I was dying,

I was seeking Dr after Dr for an answer, I was completely and totally

sick.

If any of this sounds familiar to anyone who still has implants than

I would think long and hard about keeping them.

Now I still have pain, I admit it, 10 months post explant, but I have

energy, I work out, I don't cry everyday, I enjoy life, I have a

life, I don't sleep all day I stay up late, I enjoy social events, in

fact I am always busy doing something, and yes, my breasts are small

and I wear a waterbra or padded bra or sometimes not at all and

either way I am still beautiful

Breasts do not make us who we are but they are an important part of

our self esteem, so if you are considering and explant make sure you

choose the very best for the very best possible outcome.

Just some things I think needed to be said.

God loves you no matter what your breast size is, and so do the

people who care about you.

God bless us all, Love
