Jaimieh,

Yay! So glad your surgery was successful! That was an interesting problem you had with your kidneys.

I have not seriously considered implants because my body has had enough. I've had aneurysm surgery in '06, ovaries in '08 and bilateral mastectomies in fall of '08! Enough I say. My hubby will have to get used to boobless me

What type of implants are you considering? Is silicone the best with least rejection by the body? I hope you find something that works for you.
