McCalls Magazine article

[Guest guest]

I am so pissed off right now!!! AH! I was at my moms house tonight

and she subscribes to McCalls magazine...well she told me there was

an article about breast implants in there but that it was all pretty

much positive stuff....I read it and couldn't believe how ignorant

they were for some of the content of this article. How in this day

and age can they be so stupid. Of course they did have a tiny little

blurb at the end about possible unknown risks but stated as they

always do that they do not see more of these " autoimmune diseases " in

women with implants than without, and that further studies are

needed. If further studies are needed why did the FDA approve these

things? More importantly why were they even available to me when I

got them if they weren't FDA approved. Not that I don't understand

why, and of course take my own responsiblilty here, however I feel I

was also mislead by the implant companies and my PS as to how " safe "

implants are. Well the article also states that the procedure is so

much safer than it used to be and that submuscular placement has a

much quicker recovery time, this statement imparticulary made me

soooo angry considering how much pain and how long it took for me to

stop hurting from my original surgery...under the muscle placement is

definitly the more painful and more legnthy recovery, even I knew

that going into my surgery(but I was told this was the far superior

placement) yeah far superior for more difficulty should they need to

be removed and add the textured covering to that and you have a real

nightmare.......ARG! ok I will try to calm down but when I look at

all that this has cost me, my family, and others who I know of it

pisses me off when I read this crap. Why is it suddenly becoming such

a big thing? I know why, cause they look so good and people now adays

figure it's really for anyone, not just actresses anymore. Well I am

glad I got rid of mine....I am shunning society's whole steriotypical

crap....too bad.....I will just be what I am and that is it...I will

not hide my small boobs from anyone anymore...I go to work and face

people who stare at my chest and I feel like just saying, " Yeah "

there gone. In fact today a girl I have known for years saw me and

she said " did you take out your implants " and I said " yep " I didn't

get into details of being ill simply because I don't want allot of

people at work knowing I ever got sick, but I did tell her they were

a mistake, a nightmare and that she should never ever get them. She

smiled and said " you are so beautiful you don't need them " and

that felt good. THe other funny thing is that since I got my implants

out, several men whom never even spoke to me, have been introducing

themselves to me in the hallways at work...it is funny, is it a

coincidence? Could it be that some men actually prefer natural women?

Well who knows eh? I am proud for being strong, and even though I am

still fighting the battle for my health, I am beautiful, and I look

good, and I will continue to get through this with the help of the

women I have met on the net........godbless all of you!

To better days, and health
