Lynda,

Sometimes I am just so sick that I don't feel pretty. I used to be more vibrant and full of life. I miss that.

I have hope though, I know I'll get better. Thanks so much Lynda. Lynn

Did you derive any benefits from having them? (while you had them?) Did the health problems (infections, etc.) not set in until you had them removed? What was your reason(s) for removing them? Re: Re: Opinions: Plastic surgery: a quick fix for happiness Ballerina, ly, I'd consider what your

Good Morning Ballerina,I derived zero benefits from having the implants. The infections only happened after I had them removed. I've got listed below some of the problems I had while implanted.My reason for removal was my right breast became hard as a rock. If you push on your knee cap, that's how hard it was. It was also swollen to 4 times its original size. I had a feeling of complete euphoria once I got these horrible implants out. I was sick as a dog but ecstatic.My nurse just came to change my dressing. I have nurses come in twice a day to pack my breast which is an open wound (in the crease of the breast). If I were to let it close, my breast would blow up like a water balloon due to all the drainage. Due to a ten year old hematoma, I have a huge cavity where the implant used to be and it

will not heal. I will in all likelihood be facing at least one more surgery. I had my bi-lumen implants for 19 years. I am now 39 years old. I am in shock and can’t believe that these toxic bags of crap have caused me so much pain. My right breast wass so swollen that it felt like I was growing a breast under my arm pit. Hence, that’s why I called them my “enboobies”. Here are the symptoms and medical problems I have endured

the past 19 years: Uterine cancer = hysterectomy in 1997 – am now 10 years cancer freeHypothyroidismDepressionRestless legsFeelings of "falseness"Dry skinSleep difficultiesDry eyesLow self esteemZero confidenceBrain fogWeight gain (over 100 pounds)Clogged milk duct (removed 1998)Chronic pain in right breast due to Baker’s IV grade capsule contractureHair loss (and we are talking handfuls here)And I know there’s more, but can’t think of it right now I’ve learned that true beauty isn’t about physical appearance, not one little bit. It really comes from within. I decided I had two choices here, either to become really depressed and say why me or I could move on with my life, see it as a learning experience and try to

educate as many women and men as possible. I chose the latter. Twenty years ago, I used to be a very happy 19 year old girl, newly married and had my whole life ahead of me. I was active, very confident and healthy. Fast-forward twenty years, I am a 39 year old woman (still married to the same guy) and am trying to reclaim my life, femininity and true beauty. So I beg you to really think about this decision. Nothing would make me happier if you decided against the surgery. Please don’t do it. In my honest opinion, it’s simply not worth it. If plastic things would buy confidence, I would have bought Tupperware instead. By realizing and accepting true beauty and happiness comes from within and through very hard work I have discovered I am: A WifeA FriendA GodmotherA lover of antiquesA published poetVintage toy collector (Barbies, Fisher Price, Disney)Western horseback trail riderGeneral lover of all things equineA Saline/Silicone Sister and most importantly, ME!!!!! Feel free to e-mail me any time if you have any questions, concerns or just want to talk.

Thanks Traci. I think you are so pretty too. Lynn

Re: Re: Opinions: Plastic surgery: a quick fix for happiness

Ballerina,

ly, I'd consider what your co-worker is doing to be sexual harassment . . .

And, unless it puts your job in jeopardy, I'd tell him so! Then, if he persists, I'd talk to his manager.

This kind of behavior in the workplace is outrageous.

Of course, what I'd really like to tell him that, if he was a real man, he wouldn't say crap like that . . . And, that they do make silicone balls and penile implants he could get - if he'd like to experience the joy of silicone for himself!

Hugs,

Rogene

You are so sweet Dede.

I am been on the downward bottom side of the rollar coaster this week - unsure why. My bones just ache, my ulna bones, femur, all of the bones in both hands and my ribs again. Gets me down when this happens. I broke down and took Naprosyn tonight.

I need to pack, we are leaving for Illinois in the morning but I ache so bad it has been rough. So, hopefully the med will kick in soon and I can pack away. I am sure the 14 hour car ride isn't going to help my bones much.

Sorry to be a big whiney baby. I am sure I'll be on the up swing soon.

I thinking of you and your father everyday. I am so happy you can be with him.

Love you, Lynn

Ballerina,For the most part of my working career, I was the only female in the group - so I privy to a lot of conversations most women wouldn't have heard. . . I was considered just "one of the guys" . . . Otherwise they had to guard every word, because I was always around. Butt head sounds like the kind of guy who would go to his buddies and say, "You'd never believe what this bitch at work did. I told her she needed breast implants, so she went out and got them. Now she looks like a two-bit hooker." . . . Believe me, you're not going to get any respect from Butt Head by getting breast implants! . . . He may say one thing to you - But he'll be saying something entirely different to

everyone else! You've got this guy in your head for a reason . . . Is there someone you wanted to please, but whose attention you couldn't get - because he was a real jerk like Butt Head? . . . like a father, brother or old boyfriend? . . . Pleasing Butt Head isn't going to fix that relationship.Because breast implants aren't going to "fix" anything. . . . It's more likely they will open a Pandora's box of problems that will change your life negatively for years to come. The "self-esteem" they are advertised to give a woman is fleeting . . . When reality sets in, the same old problems are still there.Hugs,Rogene

Your husband sounds like many men.......

B O R I N G ...........

So, it is time to get a hobby........

Are you a ballerina? Do you dance?

Did you?

When I get well enough, I want to take

ballroom dancing.......speaking of attention........

exercise, and fun........

I took marshall arts to help regain my self

confidence. I was one of those that took

beatings by an abusive alcoholic sports-addicted idiot.......

Oh, excuse me, I have little tolerance in that area...

I suggest you get yourself busy......without him.........

Dance, pottery, kick boxing, marshall arts, acting with

community theatre. Joining the local gem and mineral society,

Go horseback riding.

Sounds like your hubby is sports addicted and you dont

share the same addiction, and you feel left out......

Dont take it personal, it is HIS addiction, not yours. I

am sure he doesnt mean for you to feel left out or ignored.

If you get busy doing things you enjoy, and allow yourself

to have fun.......then you wont feel left out....you will be busy

enjoying life again.......

Sometimes I think we get off track and think we need " others "

to make us feel validated, when really all we need is self love and

approval.

Allow yourself to fill your life with things you enjoy and that

make you feel good inside......

Its the best gift you could ever give yourself.....

Part of the problem is I feel like my husband doesn't like them the way they are, and Butthead told me all husbands wants their wives to get implants. My husband has VEHEMENTLY denied this, but obviously the natural thing doesn't work for him either. I kind of thought it would fix my marriage. My husband kept telling me it wouldn't. I wanted affection in the marriage, and the husband said this won't change who he is- that he's just not affectionate. I think he loves me, but all he does is watch sports. I thought boobs would get his attention. Particularly after Butthead told me they would. Re: Re: Opinions: Plastic surgery: a quick fix for happiness

Thanks for the advice. I have worked hard to fill my time so I don't feel the void of the marriage as much. My current hobbies are:1. Ballet (10 hours per week)2. Beading (I'll make you all free earrings if you send me your addresses. I'll pay for shipping. I've got $6500 that I won't be spending on a boob job now)3. Watching I Love Lucy re-runs (which I'm doing even as I type)4. Playing the alto flute (it's head curls around- it's cool)5. Playing the piano6. Sudoku puzzles7. Reading (my favorite hobby)8. Video games (not as much as I used to, but when a good new game comes out, I'm all over it)Without these things, I'd go crazy.Now I'm thinking a have found a new way

to focus my time- organizing a way to get real research done on these things, and potentially a cure??? Re: Re: Opinions: Plastic surgery: a quick fix for happiness

Ballerina . ..

Have you tried dichroic glass? http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient & aq=t & ie=UTF-8 & rls=HPIA,HPIA:2006-31,HPIA:en & q=dichroic+glass

I took a class in it . . . I'm about to order supplies to make some jewelry for Christmas. . . . I'm going to take a break from pottery and get back into oil painting for a while.

I hope you can figure out how to get something done about implants! . . . I'm afraid it's going to take a new administration to get the feds to take action.

Hugs,

Rogene
