Re: 60 days post-op explant

[Guest guest]

So very glad to hear that you're feeling better Jackie!

I too am larger on one side than the other since my explant. I have

solved that by getting a wonderful bra from Secret that has

little silicone inserts that slide into it. I put 2 of them

on one side, and don't wear one on the other. It is amazing how even

it makes me look in my clothes! In fact, anyone who didn't know that

I had my implants removed, would not be able to guess I had anything

done at all.

Secret makes some great looking, good fitting bras, you might

check them out if you haven't already.

Best of luck to you,

Tammy (a)

Thanks for the info on the bra. I'll check it out. One thing I

haven't done since explant surgery is to buy new bras. I've been

clinging to the tight sports bras, which are so supportive. As I've

been healing, I've begun to go without a bra some, and that's limited

to home. So, it's probably time for me to take a trip to the lingerie

store and reward myself for recovery from those horrible implants.

I'll try the one you mentioned. Maybe I'll get two since I've been so

good to myself. It's just so wonderful to have my health back...I

love being me, without the implants!! J

I believe that my implants were killing me slowly also. I even told my family and doctors that I was dying and they wouldnt knoe untill I was dead. My implants have been out since March. I have a spot on my back that feels like bees stinging me sometimes and sometimes like I have a large open wound right there. But, I'll take that over being bedridden and all over body pain any day.

Good luck!

Rogene,

Nothing I have never paid much attention to my body or what I put in it. I dont even know where to begin.

Toni,

One website that has a lot of information (in addition

to our archives) is www.curezone.com

Virtually all the implant women I've met have had a

systemic fungal/yeast problem. Dr. Kolb treats all

implant patients for systemic fungal/yeast problems

both before and after surgery. It seems that the

problem either comes with the implant, because of

medications taken because of illness following

implants, or because the immune system is supressed

from fighting against the implants.

I would recommend reading " The Yeast Connection " , or a

similar book to get an understanding about how

devastating this can be. It takes a lot of discipline

because of the diet (no sugar, processed foods or

refined grains), but it's well worth the effort!

Hugs,

Rogene

I have had the symptoms you describe. I always thought they were

from my fibromyalgia. I know they can be. MIne is much better!

The sleep thing is definitely a fibro symptom. The brains nerves

just keep firing--kind of like the nerves and muscles of the rest of

the body. Net effect is that it keeps you out of deep 4 sleep and

that produces all kinds of symptoms. I have dealt with that for

many many years. I still have problems from time to time--but I am

also perimenopausal and sleep problems are common then. Good to

hear that you are doing so much better!! Who cares what the doctors

think as long as we can manage to get what we need somehow? I like

your attitude!

Hugs

Dearest Toni:

Last night I was sad because we have lost another friend to these deadly devices. She had helped me through some very bad times and I loved her so much. She had her implants the same time as me and she had the same rotten plastic surgeon.

I too wish that we could all meet....love you....Lea

Dear lea

That is very sad. Losing our friends, especially those who

understand us the best, is very hard. You are such a strong person

and I am sure you were a good friend to her. I am sorry for your

loss

Thank you Sweetheart:

Jewell was one of the warmest and loving ladies. She always wanted to know

how I was, yet she was suffering so much. She had been a health care worker

and her experience showed. We had the same plastic surgeon and I do not

trust this man because he lied to so many women. He had to leave Edmonton

because someone was suing him, it was a scandal and we will never really

know the true reason for his leaving. His name is Voloshin.

Thank you for your sweet comments and for all the great support that you

give to us...love always....Lea

Dearest Joanne:

It seems strange to be writing to you on this forum. This is the place to be because these ladies know their stuff. I did ask Dr. D about Cardiac Reactive Protein. He said most everyone with an autoimmune disease will be positive. I guess you have to be aware, but not to be too worried. He said that doctors talk about me at conferences, and we thought that was funny. I do educate doctors on many things, especially breast implants. They have learned to show respect for me. I'm not shy, and I guess I have had enough abuse to last a lifetime. If a doctor refuses to talk to me, I threaten to tie them up. When I had my last pulmonary embolisms, my doctor came in, but he refused to take the article on Silicone Fluid Induced Pulmonary embolisms. My next step was to call the nurse at the desk. I asked if she had some rope to tie Dr. S up with, and she asked do you want duct tape too. I said no, I want him to talk. My doctor was at the desk and heard everything that I had said. The next thing I knew he was standing by my bed, and he said okay lets talk. He pulled up a chair, and we had a very productive discussion. He will never let me live this down. The nurses took the article and copied it many times...they said that he would have to read it eventually.

I know you well enough by now and I know that you would never take abuse from anyone. Have you mentioned your high blood pressure yet? Please try to avoid all the stress.

Love you sweetie....Lea

Joanne,

I have decided my favorite game is "stump the doc". I get a symptom and "dare" the doctor to come up with a "good" diagnosis. My internist I think is both afraid and excited when he knows I'm coming in. He gets to break out old books and talk to his old professors and colleagues.
