, Think of it this way . . . If you met a man who you knew was surgically enhanced . . . but he couldn't feel much with his enhancement, and he didn't feel like doing much because he was sick all the time . . . Would he be more appealing to YOU? . . . Most of the partners/husbands we hear from are soooooooo glad to get their wives back! . . . Most of them didn't want their wives/partners to get implants in the first place. . . .Men may look . . . BUT, when it comes to the women they love, boobs aren't important! If your friends continue to be toxic (you'll know toxic people by how you feel around them), make some nicer friends. Hugs and prayers, Rogene

, All our messages are saved in the archives . . . Indexed by year, then month. Only those messages with content that was found objectionable, or posted more information that someone was comfortable with have been deleted. . . Anyone can delete their own message . . . or a moderator will delete a message on request. Otherwise all messages are there. Something you'll find striking is the number of women who come to the group with similar issues . . . Watch them discover they are not alone . . . then get scared that they may have surgery and not recover . . . then find themselves getting their lives back. Over and over and over! . . . If the FDA would only read our stories, there wouldn't be any doubt! Rogene

, I hear you on this one. I often have wanted to find a particular post by someone and had to wade through pages and pages of archives. It's not fun. The only way that we can isolate these posts so that they are easily found it so create a text file in our file section, with the permission of the person who posted the letter. I've encouraged women to write their stories in the past...that is how most of those stories in our section for testimonies got there. I think it is a very worthwhile effort to try to write out your story and save it to a file for future use. Women often wanted to hear my story, so I could easily just copy and paste it, and the most important use was when reporters would want to know my story, or when I shared it with government people, the FDA, whoever I could. It is good to be prepared with your story so that when that opportunity arises to speak out, you

don't have to labor over and over. If any of you want to write out your story for our group, so I can post it in our archives, please just send it and let me know you want it posted in the testimonies section. I'll be glad to do it.

We should have a file filled with letters for those seeking implants.

Great idea! If you have some extra time, can you search through the archives for a few letters that we can add once the file is created? I wish I had time to do that, but I am swamped all the time....(I am not complaining--- I don't think! I just wish I had more hours in a day!)

Dawn, I would also like to thank you for the letter. I wish I had read this before getting my implants. Before getting my implants, I worked out 5 days a week and felt great. Now, I am overweight, I am tired all of the time and my whole body hurts. I am truly to the point (after having these implants for about 8 years), that I don't care what I look like. I just want them removed and pray that I will feel better. I have my surgery to explant August 21st and it can't come soon enough. I got the implants because one breast was a little bigger than the other. Now, that would be the least of my problems. Like you, I pray that I have no lasting effects from the decision I made 8 years ago. Thanks again and Good Luck with your surgery jtaylor813 <jtaylor813@...> wrote: Dawn, Thanks for your letter to .
