Six years ago, today, I had a surgery that saved my life!!!
My implants were slowly killing me. Needless to say, I am so grateful to have my health back!
Six years later, I no longer suffer from debilitating migraines. In fact, I haven’t had a migraine since the day after the surgery, along with the other symptoms I was experiencing. I am so grateful that I discovered what was causing all of my ailments! My eyes are brighter, my hair is thicker, I feel so alive now!
I was hesitant, at first, about sharing my story six years ago. But the amount of women who’ve reached out over the years, dealing with similar issues, confirmed that I did the right thing. Over the years since my explant surgery, many well-known women have been in the news talking about having their implants removed. Some for health reasons, others just because they regretted ever getting implants in the first place. So here I am, continuing to share my story. I constantly pray that my journey encourages others to listen to their bodies and get healthy!!
PLEASE read a bit of my story (originally written before my surgery in 2018)…..
I’ve been dealing with this privately for long enough! I’ve been sick for a while now, and although some of my symptoms have been manageable with diet and lifestyle changes, I’ve gotten progressively worse.
After several Doctors appointments, asking questions, and doing a lot of research I discovered, I am suffering from a mostly unknown and unheard of illness called Breast Implant Illness. I have had saline implants for the past 14 years and was told they were safe. The truth is that even the saline implants are in a silicone shell that starts to break down inside the body and contains over 40 other toxic materials. Over the past 14 years, these chemicals were slowly poisoning me. To make matters worse, I was exposed to black mold for several months before discovering a leak in our master bathroom. However, the damage had already been done.
The only solution for healing is to have them removed. My surgery is already scheduled for the first week of April 2018.
Here are a few examples of what can be lurking in saline implants. Aspergillus, mold, Betadine antiseptic solution.
Breast implant toxicity affects thousands of women with little awareness about this life-threatening issue. I am blessed to have found out so quickly whereas some women with breast implant illness don’t find the cause of their suffering until decades later. The longer they had their implants in, the more severe their symptoms got. In some cases, the breast implant triggered an abnormal immune response in the body, causing Cancer, Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and many other Auto-immune diseases.
I want my life and my health back and I believe that the most crucial step to recovery is a timely and proper explant (removal) of the breast implants. The sooner I can have this operation, the better my chances will be at recovering. The procedure is very dangerous. The implants will be removed by a highly experienced and specialized surgeon, ensuring that all capsule tissue will be removed together with the implant to avoid further contamination. The doctor will go in to remove the implants and scrape out all the scar tissue and any other possible abnormalities such as; mold or infection.
A few of you know a bit of what I’ve been dealing with. But again, not everything. My symptoms include:
–burning pain around the chest wall or breasts/underarm area,
-tingling or numbness in the arms and legs,
-fast/irregular heartbeat/heart palpitations (feeling like I’m having a heart attack),
-headaches, dizziness, and migraines,
-memory loss, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating,
-anxiety and panic attacks,
-hair loss,
-a decline in vision or vision disturbances
-chronic inflammation
-food intolerances and allergies,
-digestive issues,
-joint aches,
-temperature intolerance
-ringing in the ears
-night sweats
-mood swings, emotional instability
-frequent urination
-shooting pains throughout the body,
-and much more.
I’ve located a doctor who specializes in this procedure. My surgery is scheduled for the first week in April 2018. He has performed thousands of proper procedure explants. There are many testimonials from women that have used him and are now feeling much better.
If you are considering getting implants, already have implants, or know someone who has them or is considering getting them, please be informed!! Share this information. It could save your life or someone you know!!
