Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Thanks Jenna - I will be thinking of you and praying for you too. The surgeon who put them in is taking them out for me. When I met with him and told him I think they might be making me sick and I wanted them out, he agreed with me and thought I was doing the right thing. He hasn't given me any reason not to trust him, and I feel comfortable with the situation. I gave it to God, and now have to trust that I am in the hands of the right doctor. Please keep in touch as the day gets closer - Just can't wait to feel better, can you?? Cherie > > Hi Cherie! I am having my implants removed on the 19th as well.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I think it is wonderful that your original doctor admitted that he thought you were doing the right thing. I called my original doctor as well because I really liked him and his work (my implants still look real good after 8 yrs!) and he refused to admit that they were causing me to be ill and he told me that he would not do them unless I replaced them with a new implant. That is the only reason why I started researching other doctors! Anyhow I am sure you will be in the best of hands and yes, god will be watching over both of us and I am confident that we will both be happy with our decisions! I am actually getting kind of excited! Just a little over a week to go. Hugs...Jenna > > > > > > Hi - I wanted to share that I am scheduled for surgery on > October > > > 19th.
