Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 I am amazed everytime I read another post from another woman suffering from the same, or similliar crap we all have in common. I am crazy over this. It has been 5 weeks and 3 days since my explant, and while I have some moments that are good these days, I am still in the depression mode, which I think is normal, but still isn't very fun. I just hate what has happened to me and to the rest of us. I hope that everyone who comes here can find peace and come to terms with taking whatever steps are needed to find health again. THat is what I am trying to do, and I cannot deny it is the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. $15,000 on breasts,and the price to my health was far more than that. God bless everyone and I will keep you updated on my recovery .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 I have been reading the posts from the gals about missing their breasts and I just want to say that I love being flat and I don't miss those big ol' boobs at all. I know we all have different perspectives and I don't want to trivialize how ya all feel, just want to put a word in for the greatness of small boobs. I think they are cuter, easier to manage, easier to dress, less painful when bumping in to things. I don't give a rats hiney if some guys think they (big ones) are sexy, I think more guys, the ones who matter, are interested in a smart savvy healthy gal. , I'm sure you have a nice figure, it sounds like you put a lot of work into your appearance. Keep up the hard work. Dana ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie egroups Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 8:57 PM Subject: Re: Recovery , hang in there sweetie.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Good attitude Dana, thanks for the encouraging input. I may be somewhat confused and insecure right now as to which way I'll go but I do know that for the past several years I have admired woman who just love and accept themselves the way they are. I hope I will be that way. I'm certainly more confident in myself now than I was when I was 27 and had the implants put in. When did you have yours removed or have you ever had them?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Jackie, I had my 20 year old silicone implants removed in July. I was one of the lucky ones, I sprung back and was feeling a whole lot better right away. Everyone is affected differently by the effects of the implants and the explant operation. I was flabbergasted to find out that my implants were the cause of so many things, but they are out now and the symptoms are gone. When I had them put in, I hardly remember the whole thing, I was 21 and very insecure about my breasts because they were so uneven. The implants just made it worse. I had never even heard of a lift or reduction until all of this. The only thing I do remember is the doctor telling me I would be perky at 90. ha I'm perky all right, but it only cost me about 6k$$$ to fix the whole mess, a lot of scars (they don't look too bad), and 3 or 4 years of wondering what was wrong with me and whether I was going to end up in a wheelchair. Believe me, after all of this you will absolutely adore yourself. that's that Dana ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie egroups Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 7:31 PM Subject: Re: Recovery Good attitude Dana, thanks for the encouraging input.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Thanks again Dana for the encouraging words. I guess I have all the usual little fears that go thru your mind while coming to a decision. As I said in one of my posts, I really want to start working with the weights to rebuild the muscle in my chest. I just haven't had the energy to start this. Soon I hope. I feel that I'm living on borrowed time with these implants in and know they have to be removed. I am working towards acceptance.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Thanks for this inspiring note, Dana! We need to hear words like these more often. The fact is that there are lots and lots of women walking around in this world who are small breasted and look great! Their air of confidence in themselves, and their obvious happiness and joy is not diminished one whit by their lack of a generous bosom. In a perfect world, we would all recognize that our bodies are beautiful, just the way they were made. It is only man's obsessions and perversions that distort society's images to ones that are not at all realistic.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Naren, I will be two years gluten free this Fall. However, I have not had any weight gain in that time--I did have one period of weight loss (~4 lbs)--any weight loss alarms me, needless to say. I have made the greatest of attempts to eliminate *all* potential sources of gluten--including eating out which I almost never do anymore because the risk is too great. There is no question that I have, from time to time mistakenly consumed some gluten--which I feel puts me back to day one. But no, no weight gain.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hi Naren, I was diagnosed a year ago, but I think I've been truly gluten-free only since January. I have gained about 15 to 20 pounds from a year back, but was also losing weight rapidly back then. I definately feel better and look healthier. Just curious if you are of Indian origin? My husband is Indian and I've been trying to educate our Indian friends/family about celiac disease, since I'm hearing it's just as common in the Indian population.
