Re: New Member-1 more question?

You'll be fine! I had 250CC over the muscle for 11 years. I was a

small B before implant, then with breastfeeding 3 times, I went up to

a DDD and eventually landed at a full C. After my surgery with Dr Feng

my breasts are more beautiful now than they were before the implants.

In fact if they had looked like this before, I never would have

implanted! I'm actually a full B now even after having the explant

with a lift. Dr. Feng is wonderful, you'll be in good hands. Don't let

the scarring freak you out because it looks bad a first but with time

it heals well.

[Guest guest]

Jenna,

In the hands of a good surgeon, you will will not be

deformed . . . and Dr. Feng is an excellent doctor.

You should look pretty much like you did before

implants. With a lift, you might even look better!

Any doctor that tells you that you will be deformed is

speaking of their own skills . . . run!

Hugs and prayers,

Well, I'm in a predicament because me and my husband got into an argument a few weeks ago, and it was over my looking into explants. He didn't speak to me for a week and during that time I was feeling at my absolute worst physically and decided on surgery w/ Dr. Feng and booked it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to tell him without another blowout. It is my body, but he's saying what if I have the surgery and that's not what the problem was, and I'm still sick. If I cancel w/ Dr. Feng now I'll lose my deposit - plus I know it'll be December before I can get in to see her again.

Sis,

Would it help if he talked to the husbands of some of

our women? . . . I'm sure some of them would be happy

to reassure him. . . He's probably concerned that,

after all the expense, you'll still be sick and he

won't know what to do!

While there are no 100% guarantees, I can't recall any

woman who had her implants removed by Dr. Feng who

isn't doing much, much better! She's an excellent

doctor.

We have some excellent articles in the archives that

explain the problems associated with implants . . .

Would he read them? Would it help if he read some of

the messages from the group?

We recently had one woman whose husband wasn't

speaking to her because she was getting explanted . .

.. At the last minute, he suddenly became very

supportive. She was going out of town, to a doctor

she's never seen before . . . He was scared and

feeling powerless. That's an awful feeling for most

men!

When it comes down to it, all most hubby's want is for

their wife to be well! . . . When he understands what

you need, I'll bet he's there for you!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

[Guest guest]

If you could point me to the articles, it might be a good place to start - giving him some reading material. Not sure if he's ready to talk to the husbands, however that's a good thing to keep in mind. Thanks!!!

Don't freak out! I seriously doubt that you will be deformed. We

used to have a photo section but had to remove it to get more

exposure

for our site. The women who posted their before and after pics

looked

really good afterwards. Several of the women here actually liked

their breasts better after explant. They were perky, naturally

soft,

and best of all, healthier! Most women are about the same size

after

explant that they were before they ever got implants. Some women

were

larger, and some were smaller. It does take awhile--a few weeks to

a

few months for your breasts to fluff back out again, but this is

much

more noticeable in flatchested women. Some women get lifts with

their

explants, but in many cases that was not necessary. Your ps should

be

able to have a good idea of how you will look after explant. Please

try to stay positive about the explant. Chances are good that you

will feel just fine about how you will look.

Hugs, kathy

I am really sorry that your husband is not supporting you more in

this. I think it is time to have a heart to heart talk. Get him to

share with you all his objections to your seeing the ps to talk

about an explant. Make sure you totally understand his reasoning.

Is it fear? Fear that you will not look acceptable after explant?

Fear of the surgery itself (thinking of risks of surgery). Is it

the money? Is it that he is afraid that you will still be sick and

be out the money? Or that you will be upset if you don't get well?

Or does he just totally not believe it. Once you know his reasons,

then you are in a better position to address them. Tell him that

you have fears and doubts too, but that you feel deeply that the

implants are making you sick and that getting them out is the best

chance of getting better and that you need him to support you in

it. Perhaps show him this site. Tell him that women sick from

implants just continue to develop more and more symptoms if they

leave them in. That you can't live this way anymore and many many

people on this site were in the same position and now are getting

their lives back. EAch of us had to take the same chance. And very

very few of us regret getting explanted. That should show you how

convinced we are that implants were making us sick. Hopefully he

will come around and support you. But even if he doesn't, I think

you owe it to yourself to keep your appt. Surgery isn't cheap, but

neither are cars, houses, vacations, etc. and we manage to find ways

to get those things. None of those purchases comes close

to the value of having your health back. Part of the reason that

Dr. Feng is so booked up is that so many women are coming to her for

explants. This wouldn't be happening if there weren't alot of women

getting sick from implants. It also wouldn't happen if there

weren't women getting better after explantation. Good luck.

I wonder if Dr. Feng, Kolb and others are keeping a record of how many women are

explanted because of illness. That would be pretty telling, I would imagine.

My husband is very supportive, but he had trouble talking with me about this,

too.

I agree that finding out what his concerns are is a big step. I know that my

husband was

very worried, because of my health. There is not much I can add to what Kathy

has

already said, but I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks. I know when I spoke to Dr. Kolb she said she was keeping track of it. I'll ask Dr. Feng if she's tracking it, too - I have the feeling she is, especially if she is one of the doctors who acknowledges that these things make some people sick.

I appreciate the input, and also wanted to thank Rogene for sending me the articles. I hope things improve with hubby, I think it's going to be a rough week for both of us - me because of the surgery, him because he'll be home dwelling on it. Just hope I come home to positive vibes. I'm scared that the surgery will flare up the herpes type 2 (I realize I have no shame in announcing that anymore since I'm struggling with yet another stigma - the sick boob syndrome). I posted this before, but I had that completely under control and after the implants it's been hard to manage. Funny, I was talking to my sister this morning and in one way or another, all of us are struggling with some really huge issues right now. 2005 just hasn't been a good year in my family.

What day is your surgery again? I want to make sure to be praying

for you that day! Best of luck to you. Who is going with you? I

thought I would tell you that I used Dr. Feng and she is very

thorough. I had a very easy time of it. The surgery went fine, the

recovery was very uneventful. I even went to Niagra Falls with my

husband the next day! I got my drains out 2 days after the surgery

and went home. The only downside was that I was very upset when she

showed me my breasts. I had been very flat before implants and was

actually sunken in after surgery. I cried. She told me it would

take awhile for them to get like they would end up. Somewhere after

about a month they started to fluff back up. They are now exactly

the size as they were before I ever got implants. Many women think

their breasts look good right away. I think it may have to do with

the size you were before implants. In other words, women who were

probably a B cup or larger before implants are more likely to think

they still have breasts right after surgery. The really flat people

like me look sunken, but that DOES go away. I am just telling you

that

so you will be prepared if you are one of those women. You have to

remember your breasts have been compressed all that time by the

implants. Also the longer you have the implants--I had them eleven

years, the more compressed I would think your breasts might be.

Also remember every woman's path to wellness after explant is

somewhat unique. So don't give too much weight to how you feel

right after surgery. We all heal at different rates and for most

people it is a forwards and backwards path. Being prepared that

feeling better or not feeling better yet is all within the norm will

save you from being stressed out after the surgery.

It's Wednesday, October 5th. I had the original surgery on 5/10/05, and I'm scheduled for explant on 10/5/05. The thing that is so very confusing to me is that when I first had the HSV2, I had symptoms very similar to what I'm having now - minus the swelling joints. So, I'm going up and down the roller coaster thinking "maybe it's really the HSV2 (herpes) that's acting up, and I'm not having a reaction to the implants" (it hasn't happened in a long time, but before I had a handle on the medication for that, I did have long spells that were similar to this), and then I think "maybe the HSV2 is acting up BECAUSE the implants have my immune system so screwed up". It's strange because for the past few days, I've actually felt almost normal, and it would be better if I were having a bad spell right now because a good spell makes me question things.

One thing I am encouraged by, though, is the fact that you had an easy time with the explantation. I found the augmentation very stressful and painful, and the thought of going through that all over again isn't making me happy. I'm also wondering about the drains - she said I'd have them in until Friday or Saturday - I didn't have them with the BA, so I don't know anything about them. I was very small, so I'll prepare myself for the sunken look. Luckily I've only had them 5 months, so maybe they'll go back to how they used to be relatively soon.

It would be very hard to tell if the herpes virus is causing all of

your symptoms or not. But I can tell you that once your body is

compromised by one immune problem, it isn't going to handle another

well. The fact that you already have the herpes virus is enough of

a reason not to further compromise your immune system with the

implants. There is good reason to believe that you will get just

more and more symptoms if you were to leave the implants in and that

the herpes virus might get more out of control--which could be

accounting for symptoms back now. Knowing what you know now, I

doubt you would ever be comfortable with leaving them in--you would

always be wondering if they were making you sick.

The drains aren't usually too big of a problem. Mine went really

well. Some people have alot more drainage than others. But it is

really good to have them in as they help heal faster and prevent

some problems from developing. I would tend to agree that your

breasts will probably bounce back faster due to the small amount of

time you have had them in.

Thanks, and those are really good points. A few days before the BA, I was definitely wondering if this would cause the herpes to go out of control, and I wish I had listened to that little voice in my head that questioned it. I originally posed that question on a site that is pro-implant (before I had the BA) - one of the sites that fails to recognize those of us who have problems after the implants are put in. On that other site, I pretty much got blasted for even suggesting such a thing. I guess some people must own alot of stock in the companies that manufacture these things. I think what I need to do is increase the dose of medication I take to control the flareups, and hopefully that will help.

I was talking to my sister today and I told her that I believe I have no other choice but to remove these things, because the thought of them in my body is making me crazy. If I kept them in just to avoid the pain of surgery, and the possibility of outbreaks, then I wouldn't be getting to the root of the problem, and they would just continue to make me sicker and crazier. I just feel like the herpes complicates an already complicated situation. I'm thankful I can discuss it on this site without judgement, though - they are two topics (implants and herpes) that are subject to judgement - however I don't feel judged on this site.

Sis,

The pro-implant sites are the advertising mouthpiece

of the plastic surgeons and manufacturer's . . .

You can't expect them to acknowledge the problems.

It's their bread and butter! One plastic surgeon told

me, to my face that he made money putting breast

implants in and in taking them out. He didn't give a

damn what women did.

There should be a law!

Hugs,

Rogene

It's horrible that this is allowed to go on, but it's a multi-billion dollar industry, and who's going to mess with that? When I was looking at the pro-implant sites, I was stunned to see people totally excited that Silicone was on it's way back. Whenever you mention the word "Saline" to people, the first thing that comes out of their mouth is that "they're safe" (unless of course they've had them and have gotten sick from them). I'm really thankful that I was able to get in with Dr. Feng when I did (Oct 5), because my thumbs are starting to get really sore now and my neck hurts. For a few days I felt really good and was having doubts, but at this point I'm thinking "do I need the entire house to fall down on me before I do something about this?" Hubby can be pissed if he wants, but I have to take charge of this for the sake of my body.

It is really unfortunate that people spend so much of their lives

judging others. We all make mistakes--unfortunately experience is

the chief way most of us learn. If people judge you because you

have herpes, or because you have implants, that is their problem.

Most of us can't avoid being judged for some stupid reason, no

matter how hard we try. So you shouldn't feel alone on that one.

In fact, the reason many people here got implants was because they

were judged---to be too flat, not woman enough, not sexy enough,

etc. by classmates in high school, by friends, by boyfriends, by

those making thoughtless jokes and remarks, by society in general

until we believed that we were somehow inferior with our inferior

breasts.

And now I am being judged by friends and family for detoxing, eating

differently, etc. Wow, I am amazed at how uncomfortable people are

with people who have different ideas about food. If I choose not to

eat the sugar laden treats at get togethers, or skip chips and the

like, people think I am some sort of weirdo health freak. This

impression increases greatly when they find out I drink raw milk,

eat organic meat and fruits and vegetables, and avoid gluten

(wheat). So feel free to ask whatever you want, we are not here to

judge, but to help as others have so wonderfully helped us!

Nah, Kathy, I suspect it is jealousy. I would be jealous of your will

power. ;-)

I am still working on it. I have cut out sugar. Not easy, let me tell you.

And Sis, I would have a hard time going back to a doctor who was such a jerk.

The problem with sugar is that it feeds fungal

organisms. . . . There are over 300 fungal/yeast

organisms that may be found in the human body!!! Some

of these are very tough to control - Especially when

beneficial organisms have been depleted because of

medications or a suppressed immune system.

What's happening when you get sugar cravings is that

the fungal organisms are screaming " Feed me, feed me,

feed me. " . . .

For an experiment, pour two cups of warm water. Put

one teaspoon of yeast in each cup - add a teaspoon of

sugar to one cup . . . Then watch the sugar mix grow

like crazy!

Once you get off sugar, you'll find the desire for

sweets diminishes considerably. When you do eat

something sweet, it will taste disgustingly sweet.

On the other hand, artificial sweetners (all of them)

have their own problems. Better to retrain the taste

buds than to switch. If you do crave something sweet,

try a LITTLE fruit or honey.

Once the problem is under control, you'll be able to

indulge occasionally without noticing a problem.

However, I've found that I still have to be very

careful. When I have a problem, it shows up as a sore

mouth or discomfort in one ear.

I've found the spit test a good way to see if I'm on

track.

Rogene

Thanks, you're making some really good points! . . .

Think of what we put ourselves through to meet (what

we perceive to be) the criteria of others! Often ther

are people who, if we really knew, didn't care in the

first place.

I know it does - feed the fungal stuff... I really do have terrible cravings.

And I have to stay away from it, not just because I have to lose weight, but I

am also pre-

diabetic. Well, my doctor actually has 'diabetes' as a diagnosis! I take oral

medication -

metformin.

I really cannot eat sugar. And it is the hardest thing I have ever had to quit.

I stopped smoking years ago and THAT was easier than stopping sugar!!

" discomfort in one ear. "

What is it with the discomfort in one ear? I have that when I knew I had really

bad

candida...

What the heck is it,do you know?

It's funny, because I had accepted my small boobs years and years ago, but I got carried away by this fantasy of having them after my husband said he'd pay for them if I wanted to get them. Then an acquaintance (who suddenly disappeared when I started feeling poorly after the surgery) told me she had them, and her daughter had them. Suddenly I was stuffing my bra and trying on all my clothes, and it just took on a life of its own. My husband made a comment that stuck with me - I said "what if the surgery doesn't turn out that good" and he said "it would probably still look better than how they look now". I'm not blaming him for my mistake, however that definitely carried alot of weight. When I started feeling poorly, it seems like the people who were cheering me on to get them (husband and the acquaintance I mentioned above) suddenly were treating me like I was some kind of crackpot.

I definitely plan on changing my diet after the surgery, and eating organic food is on my list of things to start doing. I always had good eating habits, however since I've been sick I've craved protein, and where I normally ate alot of fruit and vegetables, I just don't have an interest in food right now so not much appeals to me. I eat to fill up, not because I have an appetite.

I just can't wait to get these things out of my body and start the healing process. I know I'll need some advice from everyone here. Keep me in your thoughts on the day of my surgery - October 5th. My sister is going with me.

Hi Kathy!

This is a great post and you hit it all on the head!! It felt good to read

how you feel about being judged because you eat differently and detox. This

is exactly how I feel around my family and friends. A few take an interest

and want to know more, most think I'm nuts!! Because I am small, most

people think I have eating disorders and that's why I don't eat the sugar

crap!
