Somthing to ponder....Its serious stuff!

When I was young, early 20's I thought long and hard about getting breast implants. I was barely an A cup. I was teased without mercy when I was growing up about this. I found a dr. that had come highly recommended for getting the BA (breast augmentation). I asked so many questions. How could I have possibly left anything out. I was assured that these implants would last "forever". Well....as we know...they don't. I chose the Meme implants with the polyurethane coating. This was supposed to make healing easier and less likely to have a CC (capsular contracture). Over these 25 years I have become ill. I think it really started in my 30's. Fibromyalgia, arthritis, allergies (which turned out to really be chemical sensitivity) bronchitis, pneumonia, hair falling out, chronic fatigue...the list goes on and on. I could hardly take showers anymore because I did not have the energy to stand in the shower. I had to take baths most of the time. Last year I missed a total of 6 weeks from work due to illness. I didn't know what was happening to me. All these years I would ask doctors "could this be from my implants" and they would say "oh no".
It took me a long time to get to the place of "its time for them to go" Finally, one day it hit me...and I was ready! So I got in the Internet and googled "explantation" and found some very helpful web page and a wonderful group of women that have gone thru the same thing and that have explanted with wonderful results. (Most doctors will tell you that if you have your implants removed and not replaced that you will be deformed...this is NOT true!!!!)
I found this amazing dr. in Dallas. That's a whole other story as to how that came about. But I want to keep this short for now. I made an appt. and he was very upfront and honest. He named off a whole list of illnesses related to implants or silicone poisoning. I just cried. I had most of those he named off. (BTW...my dr. is in this video absolutely safe) I made an appt. and had the explant surgery. And I am soo happy that I did. I wish there was more education on implants. What are we thinking when we stuff a foreign substance in our bodies and think that's OK??? Its time to wake up and get back to what is real.
