I'd be afraid of chemical leaching.

I prefer glass to plastic and am weary of contact lenses...

That's why if I ever get plastic surgery I'm getting stuff cut off rather than put foreign objects in me...

L.O.L, I believe the term you are looking for it "yuppie". Living in the Seattle area I know exactly what you are referring to. We also call them "granola bars" or "greeners".

Are you seriously that sensitive? You didn't hurt my feelings, takes much more than that. Sorry to disappoint you.

You didn't hurt my feelings. I don't believe I hurt your feelings. Just have a care when you post that things don't get taken the wrong way. :D:D:D

I'm only disappointed your informative posts will get taken the wrong way and people will choose the ignore user option.

N=2, and if you count the ones I haven't lived with there's much, much more experience. I'm stuck in uber yuppieville and everyone thinks veggie is "trendy" here.

Well I hope the OP has been able to get some good info from all of this. The only thing I would add is that if you havn't already had kids, you may want to wait. For one thing, you may not be able to BF with implants. Also, pregnancy, hormones, all that can change a persons body a lot and some people are bigger after having babies....even if they BF. Wasn't the case for me :rolleyes: , but it was indeed for a friend of mine. I have thought about getting it done myself. However, for me, this whole Celiac thing has turned out to be a bit more complicated than I would have liked. I am still dealing with issues and finding CC hard to deal with. I am so thankful for the level of health and wellness that I DO have, that it keeps me from focusing too much on the more superficial stuff. Still, I totally understand why a woman in our culture would want implants. They really are very tempting.

The other thing I would like to address is Ursula. I have done a lot of research on this subject in the past. I have read PRO studies and CON studies. I have frequented Mercola's sight myself. I havn't always agreed with everything there, but over-all it is a decent sight. THe facts are......breast augmentation is NOT a risk-free surgery. Plain and simple. The OP wanted feedback. Ursula was kind enough to go out of her way and provide a lot of food for thought. The word's against her were extremely confrontational and frankly if someone spoke to me that way, I doubt I would have as much class as she did.

As for the comment about hippies or hippie wannabees....whatever it was. COME ON!! Give me a break! I too, have a real low tolerance for "BS" and I just got a load of it reading through these posts! :angry:

I had silicone breast implants put in on Feb 27, 2006.  I developed Celiac Disease soon after and then developed Sjogrens Syndrome soon after that.  I decided to have them removed yesterday and it's a good thing I did as the surgeon discovered that one of the implants had ruptured, which I suspected about 3 years ago but didn't have them removed.  I'm at home recovering as I speak, but looking back I wish I never would have had them put in in the first place.  I'm still bandaged up, but know that I'll be back to my normal self soon.  I'm anxious to find out if I feel better (celiac) in the next month.  After implants I had no feeling in my breasts, couldn't lift weights like I used to before they were put in, and they were very lopsided.  I would be happy to talk to anyone to talk them out of it.  I was a 32 AA and after implants a 32 DD.  I'll keep you posted on my new look...I can't wait to see the results!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
