Getting Implants Out - Seattle, WA

Well, a warning is fine. It may seem hostile, maybe it was, the tone..but not my message. but I speak the truth; I have been through a very tough time with all this, as many of us have...and would appreciate honesty too from anyone else who posts on here. That's all. This, I would imagine, is a scary ordeal for all us to go through and many outcomes are positive and uplifting! So honest on this site is also appreciated.

TRUE, and it's very upsetting when people post stuff on here from hocus pocus doctors who say sick building syndrome is a disease...and it took nearly 6 hours to take implants out. There should be some monitoring. Many of us who have had to undergo all this, explant, surgery, etc...know what this ordeal has been like, we don't need to be scared by made up diseases and hocus pocus nonsense about the fears of silicone! Enough said!

funny how you can't name yours, though. you had to google it. don't frickin talk to me about autoimmune diseases...i have them...and I also am being screened for RA..just shame on you!

yeah...OK. an autoimmune disease treated with chemo..yeah..OK! Happy to post photos of my insulin pump. would you like to see it.

from a real doctor:

Lymph nodes and ruptured silicone gel implant

A ruptured implant should be replaced at a convenient time for the patient. It is not an emergency and will cause no long term health problems. The silicone will be contained by the capsule that forms around all breast implants.

It is unnecessay to remove lymph nodes if silicone is suspected. Probably everyone in this country has molecular silicone in a lymph node somewhere. Injection needles are lubricated with silicone so anytime you get a medical injection or IV, some silicone is shed into the blood and ultimately filtered through the lymphatics.

I probably have tons of silicone in me because if I'm not on an insulin pump, I'm injecting myself full of insulin 5, 6, 7 sometimes 8 times a day, needles have silicone on them.
