Re: Oh SIS so happy for you girl!

[Guest guest]

, thanks so much. This has totally been a life altering

experience, and I remember thinking " this is one lesson I wish I

never had to learn " . However, I did learn from it, and it's odd

because I really liked how I looked before - just got taken away by

this impulse. I always did believe the women who claimed to be sick

from implants, however I thought it was silicone (although I must

admit I was skeptical about saline and wish I had listened to my

inner voice). I thought I had already learned this one lesson, but

obviously I didn't - and that is " my body is my temple " and don't

ever give someone permission to harm it. That's what I feel I did, I

gave these profit mongers permission to mess with my body, and I'm

mad as heck!! One thing I notice - I look at breasts in an entirely

different light now. After I got these albatrosses put in my body,

suddenly I noticed there were alot of small breasted women in the

world and they all looked fantastic!! I really missed my natural

body. Even though I was now able to wear things I could not wear

before, there are so many things I used to be able to wear that I

could not wear anymore - so there's always a tradeoff. I am so

thankful that I only have a few more days before I am free of these

bags, because with each passing month the symptoms get worse and

worse. I definitely will e-mail you so we can chat more - I know I'm

going to need support after the surgery as well as before. I hope as

I'm healing I can help others as they go through this journey, since

I've been so greatly helped by yourself and the women on this site.

Thanks for all your prayers. I totally knew Dr. Feng was the right

person for the job when I met her and her staff. When I first found

Dr. Feng, my husband was saying I should look around here (New

Jersey) for someone, and as I called doctor after doctor, I just knew

in my heart that it had to be Dr. Feng. The fact that she

acknowledges implant related illness made me confident that she would

not leave anything harmful behind. A place in heaven is reserved for

her and those who are helping us. When my husband saw how distraught

I had become, he realized he had to support whatever decision I

made.

Thanks again for everything,

Sis
