“why do ignorant people write "should of" instead of should have ?”

“Please can we have no more nasty comments about this Lady and her situation she paid to have the implants in and she has I believe paid to have them removed and replaced again.I hope she is feeling well and recovering from her ordeal of having further surgery.”

“I Agree it is good that this lady will get her op at the Nuffield and then she will be relatively safe from the silicone.

My disappointment is that because all of these ladies are insisting on this being done straight away this is having an impact on people who were booked in to have operations at the Nuffield. I have personally lost my operation date for February and have had to be moved to March because the Surgeons now have to work around all these ladies.

I never asked for breast implants I just asked for an operation to make my life less painful, but because of this pip I get to stay in pain for an extra month at least ( they may move me again if more pip replacements book in).”

So why the "another cheeky freeloader" comment then? i am well aware and respect everybody's personal opinion regarding whether they agree to cosmetic surgery or not however your comments have no relevance to this story and i small merely pointing this out too you. i could of had my original surgery on the nhs as my circumstances is something that would class ne in the physiological need for implants however i funded it myself than furthemore funded my replacement implants to get these toxic things out of my body (which i didn't pay for) today again not going to the nhs to fix this. 

i am a British citizen, work and pay my taxes like the rest of you so i small well within my rights to ask for help. we could argue until the sun came up if obese people should get gastric bands on the nos whether drug users or alcoholics get methadone or alcohol supplement money?? These are lifestyle choices these people have made that than got out of hand and now they need help....i see no difference in that scenario to the ones us ladies are facing. u ask us personally and you will find that not one of us are asking or expecting the nhs to fix this but the ladies who havrnt no way of funding this replacement surgery straight away may have no other option."Click to rate     Rating 0”

“Ooh yes i expected it but wanted to get my point across and try to guide the general public into knowling that there are a lot of different reasons as to why ladies have breast implants rather than the stereo typical glamour model (which by the way i have nothing against as each to their own). 

Medical Silicone is a substance that has been vigorously tested for compatability with the human body. This extensive testing would carry on for a numourous number of years, at least 10 years before it is approved for use. The effects on the human body would be low and the only risk during this and after the operation as outlined to me in my consult with the surgeon was infection or capsular contraction which is the natural process of your body forming a capsule around the implant but in rare cases it can contract go hard and uncomfortable which would lead to you having to have that implant taken out. I weighed up the pro's and Con's and wasnt the "cheeky Freeloader" that anjo123 has suggested. 

Industrial silicone is something that shouldnt be in a human body and has never been tested to do so. therefore no one knows what the long term damage is going to be, and the reactions that the human body is going through after exposure to this after rupture is shocking, it can range from burning, stabbing pains, red hot to the touch, the breast can swell to double its size... on from that there are the auto immune complications that we are experiancing and the palpatations, night sweats, fatigue etc. 

@ anjo123 

If you read the article correctly you would of realised that we are NOT asking for the NHS to foot the bill but our clinics to provide us with what we paid for not an industrial silicone that should never be in a human body. Furthermore i am already booked in for replacement surgery at my OWN cost and fully intend on claiming this back from HARLEY MEDICAL GROUP - IE not one penny i am expecting from the NHS!!

And just to explain a little something about why i had my surgery it wasnt because i wanted a massive glamour model bust it was because i had one breast a lot larger than the other one as the breast tissue wasnt symetetrical which means i have 2 different size implants in to correct this huge difference, i had them because i wanted to correct this problem, and i am fully aware that if i had gone to the GP i could of argued my case that i needed it on the NHS but i didnt!! yet again i paid for it myself!

So the moral of the story is dont judge a book by its cover, i wanted to do this to show you that theres more to breast surgery than the typical stereo type..."


just costing this from the last article (as i am unable to type it all out again) i fully respect everybody's option when it comes to cosmetic surgery however i did NOT have then done for vanity reasons but the sentinel didn't even thou i asked them to put in the article exactly why i did as i have no reason to be ashamed. up until 3 weeks ago no one at work knew i had implants either was it discussed with my friends or family. so like above please dont judge a book by its cover i didn't pay for industrial silicone neither do i believe its totally hmg fault as the mhra failed to regulate them properly however i dont care who hmg's blames i brought a product and a servicethat i just didn't receive .”

“As much as I disagree with the implants I have to say that Mrs Burgess has got it right it should be the company that put them in that replaces them but at the same time it's not the company's fault because the PIP implants past the safety precision at the time. Although I can not really feel sorry for Mrs Burgess, due to the fact she had the implants for vanity, She is going about things in the right way instead of moaning that tax payer's should pay for the removal and replacements, she has had to take out a loan it may not be the best financial thing for her but as she new the implants wont last forever she should have already been saving towards replacements anyway.
However, whats done is done and she can not turn back time.”

“Hope the surgery goes well but after all you paid privite to have them done so its only right to pay again and have them re done !”

“She's got hear knockers alright, costing her a fair bit to by the looks of it. Totally agree with her about the clinic who did the job removing and replaceing whatever the hell they stuffed in there.”

“But Sarah she is not suggesting that you pay for them as a tax payer, if you read the article Laura wants the clinic that lied about what she was getting to pay for the replacements.”

“Yeah, Sarah has her knockers,and there are plenty of people ready to knock her on this site but at least she's doing something about it.”
