As for Kacey’s comment, very good point and I think it is important that some of these sites are named so close to the pro implant sites. I get a good number of members join my group thinking it is pro implant because of the name and to their surprise they start reading the horror stories. The members of my group have been very sucessful in getting ladies to change their mind regarding breast augmentation. All because they stumble upon a forum thinking its all about implants and not for ladies looking to explant because they are sick or just hate their implants.

I have women join my group because they just happened to come across it and make comments that they are very happy with their implants. I sure as hell don’t ban them but instead advise them to read all the stories and info there so that when they start experiencing problems, they will know its the implants. I went from doctor to doctor for 3 years wondering why I just continued to get sicker and sicker and some of my symptoms were just not consistent with what I had been diagnosed with.

These people have one goal and that is to try and convince as many women as possible that these devices are safe and the rest of us that have become ill would have become ill anyway. However, I find it interesting that we all improve after the toxic bags are removed!

I no longer bother with those sites because I know that the existence of my forum alone is enough to make their blood boil. We are all helping to get the truth out there. Although I believe all implants should be banned, I know that will never happen so instead I think women at least should have enough information available to them so they know what they are getting into. That was a hell of a lot more than was offered to me.

I see a world someday where few women have implants and there are clear warnings that come along with them much like what has happened with the tobacco companies. It will happen, it will just take time. I remember when you would turn on the TV and the actors were smoking on every show. Every magazine and billboard was an advertisement for cigarettes. That has now been banned and I believe that the breast implant manufacturer’s day will come as well. I’m a bit older than the other ladies on this blog but when I was a kid, everyone smoked. Now very few people smoke and of course recently has been banned in most public places. Very few people smoke because they know too many people that have died of lung cancer and the truth about the dangers of cigarettes have been revealed to all and states it on the package.

All we can hope for is a similar fate for breast implants.

AMEN!

“Dr. Adams is a paid consultant for the implant manufacturers.

I asssume he is correct in that he has put in many implants.

Why did he take so many out when there are no problems with them???” ~Dr. Edward Melmed

I was wondering how a plastic surgeon would have the time to search the Internet for breast-related items. Now I get it, it’s his JOB. Hey guys, this happens wayyyy more than you think.

This truly is insane and has come about by GREED!

One last comment and that is that I had mold growing in my implants as well. That mold no doubt got into my body because of faulty valves on my Mentor implants but we are hearing more about mold on shower curtains than the mold that grows within saline implants!

Keeping ourselves natural, inside and out, from breasts to shower curtains, makes the most sense…no matter how safe the studies done so far or presented so slantedly say.

Keep up the good work, girls…er, I mean, women.

Before you go making judgments calls on who is writing these blogs and comments….maybe you should take a look around. I think the first place you need to stop is at the top right corner where it says “about Kacey, Krista and Gretchen.” You will learn VERY quickly that all 3 of us are in fact very good looking, young, in-shape, intelligent (need I go on) women.

Then, when you read a little about us there, you can then click on each of our individual websites to read about all of the horrific things we have been through due to having breast implants in our body. I think you will have a brand new outlook on these comments and these posts.

And, hopefully by doing that you will see very quickly that we are so far from jealous of anyone that has breast implants, that your comments are absolutely and completely ridiculous.

We are also so far from femi-nazis, with low self-esteem, that just “want to control” others. The only thing we are doing is freely giving our time, our compassion and our hearts to help other women who are currently going through what we have been through, or helping them make good choices so that they do not have to go through what we have already gone through.

I think it time that you grow up, look around and see what is really happening around you instead of being so close-minded.
