Breast Implant Illness- Removal

I need my communities help to raise the funds for my overall health to be completely restored.

Seven years ago I got breast implants; I told myself (and others) the reason was because I am so petite and I wanted clothes to fit right. While that’s not the entire truth. I was insecure about my flat chest, often felt like I looked (and was told) like a little girl, that a man would love me if I had big boobs (or just any in general) and conforming to societies idea of beauty.

I knew right away that my body didn’t want them inside of me, I had to have them done FOUR times due to complications. Don’t get me wrong, for many years I loved them, I loved the way clothes fit me!

But, I’ve always had pain around them, sometimes excruciating. Over the years random unexplainable illnesses kept appearing. (Hormonal imbalance, insomnia, lowered immune system, receding gums, urinary problem, sudden food aversions, hair loss, brain fog/memory loss, easy bruising, metallic taste in my mouth, sinus issues, fungal infections, rashes all over my body, no energy, heart palpitations, achy joints, shortness of breath, multiple kidney infections, liver issues, numbness in my limbs, ringing in my ears etc... I could go on).

I feel as though I always knew they were causing me issues. But I was in denial. I did not want to give up my boobies! When Breast Implant illness was presented to me, I immediately knew it was truth, but was still in denial and refused to even consider it. (For all the reasons listed above + self love and acceptance). I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, work with a lot of powerful medicines, and thought I would be ok. Not so much. It’s gotten to the point where I can no longer handle and manage the pain, the sickness and symptoms associated with these toxic bags in my body.

A couple of years after I got them, the FDA black labeled the brand I have and some of them have been recalled. I am so tired, and feel like they are slowly killing me. The company is Mentor, they will help pay to have them removed only if they are the ones listed as a recall or if they are ruptured. But, they don’t pay for the whole removal. When they are removed, there is a capsule that your body forms around the implant as a protection, some women’s capsules are thick as leather!

A good surgeon costs around $10k, that’s not including the expenses of the items needed for recovery, paying someone to care for me around the clock for two weeks and of course bills need to be paid. I’m not even sure where to start, as it’s all pretty overwhelming. I have it set at $12k because gofundme takes a good portion and there are tons of extra expenses besides the surgery. I myself am saving up for these additional expenses.  

I’ve included a list of common symptoms that women with breast implants suffer from and the list of TOXIC chemicals found in implants. (Doesn’t matter if they are silicone or saline, as the shell is the same on all of them... there are no safe implants!)

It’s gone on far too long and I’m ready to have my true self back, I’m ready to accept my body as it was made, I’m ready to feel healthy and strong again, I’m ready to stand tall and rise to my Divine Feminine as I was meant to.
