Re: New to Group-Help?-to Jennag2224

[Guest guest]

I remember how I felt when my friend Patty told me about all her

symptoms from her illness with implants, and I realized for the 1st

time that I HAD to have them out. I had guilt, I was upset about the

$ my husband had to pay to have them removed, what if I didn't get

any better?? How would I look? The bottom line is that I was going

to be sick every single day as long as those bags were inside my

chest.

I went to a Plastic Surg. here in Las Vegas who didn't even

specialize in explants but he did agree to get out all of the

capsule. I was expecting the worst after I healed, but I was

surprised that I still had quite a bit of my breasts left from

before. I kept telling myself, What is the point of having these big

breasts if I'm in bed sick all the time anyway? Now I wear a water

bra and I have a life! It will be fine and finding this group was

the best thing becasue these girls know what they are talking about.

Good Luck-Love, Daryl
