when vanity turns into sickness…

[@hillarywattenbarger3203]

My great aunt is in her later 60s, she’s had hers for YEARS now and they look awful, they are leaking now, and she is very very sick!! 😭 So happy for you! I saved to have them done when I turned 18 and I’m so thankful I never followed through! Praying you make a full recovery! ❤️

[@AmmieHarris]

Oh I hate that your Aunt is having so much trouble with her implants. It’s sadly the story for so many ladies who’ve has theirs for many years! I pray she can get them out and heal soon! And I’m so so glad to hear you never got them done when you were 18! What a blessing! And thank you so much for your prayers!

Holy smokes, i am so glad you posted this! I have lost a lot of weight and lost my boobs i was thinking about getting implants but I'm definitely not going to now. I didn't know they weren't a life long device. I also didn't even think about the poison they would put in my body. Thank you so much for being so real on this. It was eye opening. ❤ I would have never even thought of these consequences. I hope that you can forgive yourself you didn't even know what you were doing. I hope you find peace.

@@ahouston1989 oh Amber! Your comment just made this whole journey worthwhile! I told my husband if I help just one woman in this, I’ll be so thankful to have gone through all of this! I’m so glad this opened your eyes to the dangers of them and you won’t get them now! They are not worth it at all!!! But congratulations on your weight loss! That’s amazing and I know you feel amazing! But with implants, I can almost guarantee most women won’t feel so well within some amount of time!

[@caitlyncassedy8916]

Thank you for sharing this! I am very flat chested, and even more so after nursing 2 babies! I have considered breast implants, my mom and grandma both have implants! But it is helpful to hear your story. I hope your surgery goes well. We all make mistakes and I hope you overcome your guilt. Mom guilt is such a difficult and stressful feeling. You’re still a wonderful mother!

[@AmmieHarris]

@@caitlyncassedy8916 thank you so much, Caitlyn for the kindest encouragement! And I’m so thankful hearing my story around this was helpful! I’ve worked through my guilt a lot and am so thankful for getting past this part of my life and the mistakes past made!

[@michelenowacinski821]

I am praying for you, Ammie. I admire you for sharing this.

Thank you so much, Michele! ❤️

Thank you for this video. I got implants 10 years ago and like how I look with them, however.. I’m having the same exact symptoms as you. Numbness in hands and fingers, pain in my feet, ankles, wrist and fingers, trouble loosing weight even though I’m active, I eat very clean and workout 5 days a week, severely cracked heels .. and nothing helps it, tiredness and headaches even when I get plenty of rest. It’s my implants and I’ve been in denial. I had some suspicions, but didn’t know that this was a common issue. Thank you for this video. I just text my husband and told him that I’m getting them out and he is 100% on board. ❤🙏🏻

[@AmmieHarris]

@@samanthalabreck5837 hi Samantha!! Thank you for sharing this with me! That’s so crazy we have literally the exact same symptoms! But thankfully not any worse like many ladies! I’m so glad you found this video and have made the decision to remove them! You are going to feel so much better! I’m actually 4 days post op now and I feel so amazing already! I wish you all the best in finding an explant surgeon. I’m happy to chat anytime with you about things and definitely join the Facebook group if you have a Facebook! I linked it under this video There’s so many amazing testimonies of women who’ve explanted!

[@WrennieDel]

I was saving up for the surgery because I didn't like the way they look during this weight loss journey. I planned to get them once I made it to my goal weight. I've gotten very lucky because, in the last year, I've seen soooo many getting the removed from illness. Needless to say... I'll have to learn to be happy with however they end up looking

[@AmmieHarris]

@@WrennieDel what a blessing for all these stories to come your way and help you change your mind before you got them!! I’m so happy for you! I know you look amazing in body just as it is!

[@Ahavati.]

So important topic! So glad you talked about this 👏🏻👍🏻❤

[@AmmieHarris]

@@Ahavati. thank you! I think so many need to hear this message for sure! I wish I had 7 years ago and I definitely would of made a different decision!

[@cearajohnson8919]

Your hair is SOO cute!! Also such a good message thank you for sharing !! 😭👏❤️

[@AmmieHarris]

@@cearajohnson8919 thank you so much, Ceara! I’ve loved having it shorter! And thanks for watching! 💕

[@rachelskaggs7847]

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

[@AmmieHarris]

Thank you for watching! 💕

[@Ra20233]

I didn't get breast implants, but this is a good reminder that we are more than our physical appearance. I'm over here bawling because a hairdresser just butchered my hair before a few big family events... We need to stop allowing these insecurities to take over our lives. I'll include you in my prayers that your procedure goes well and that you will be able to physically and emotionally heal from this experience, Ammie!

[@AmmieHarris]

@@Ra20233 you are so right! And I love this “less invasive” example with your hair! Though it HATE it was messed up, I know that is frustrating 😭 But we all often let these little things take over too much of our thought space as you mentioned! And thank you so much for your prayers in this journey and healing!

[@kathyhamilton6343]

So proud of you for sharing your story! And praying recovery goes well and lactation starts easily for you! I love you! ❤

[@AmmieHarris]

@@kathyhamilton6343 thank you so much!! I love you!

[@makensipitt]

Thank you for sharing Ammie. Give yourself grace for the wisdom you didn’t yet have. You are a wonderful mother to your children… and God chose you for them… mistakes and all😊 I’ll be in prayer for your surgery and recovery♥️

[@AmmieHarris]

@@makensipitt thank you so much, Makensi!! It’s taken some time to get past the guilt but God has been so gracious through it! And thank you so much for your prayers!

[@samanthalabreck5837]

Are you getting a lift as well? Or just an explant? I’m calling the surgeon today to make my appt to get these things out!

[@AmmieHarris]

@@samanthalabreck5837 I am not doing a lift! We may have more children and I don’t want a lift to affect breastfeeding! I probably need one but will just be grateful to have them gone! Be sure to ask for full capsulectomy! I’m so excited and happy for you! 🤍

[@samanthalabreck5837]

@ okay perfect! We have been trying for another baby for 3 1/2 years and if the Lord does decide to bless us with another baby, I want to be able to breastfeed, so I’m going to pass on the Lift as well. 🩷🙏🏻 I’m excited to see your healing journey!

[@AmmieHarris]

@ oh I hope He blessings you in His timing! I’m very excited for you! Keep me updated on your explant! ❤️

[@RobertaStonequist]

i recently heard 'your past self's mistakes, made your current self's successes.' i have struggled with insecurities in this area, but never went through with implants. i'm grateful for your bravery in sharing your story, and know God's goodness and grace and healing in covering every one of your perfect little ones in protection or lasting effects from the chemicals in Jesus' name! i'm praying you feel all the love and relief in recovery taking that first deep breath and nursing your baby without second thoughts and hugging your family with no separation 🥲❤️🙏🏼

[@RobertaStonequist]

**also by successes i'm implying your vast wisdom in natural health alternatives, the way your care for your body and your family's health now having endured all of this, and knowing how loved you are by God❤️

[@AmmieHarris]

@@RobertaStonequist oh your comment has made me tear up! Thank you so much for the most gracious words in God’s protection over my little ones from the implant chemicals! It’s just what I needed to hear! HE most definitely has watched over them (and me) as I have lived with these implants the past 7 years! My health has been drastically better than many women who’ve suffered with their implants! HE is so good and gracious in our mistakes! And I most definitely agree that our past mistakes make our current successes. Through my mistakes in this area (any many others) I’ve learned so much about the body and it’s beautiful abilities to heal and repair! Thank you so very much for your encouragement always on my videos! I truly wish I could meet and chat with you in person!! ❤️ Praying you have a wonderful rest of your week!

[@AmmieHarris]

@@RobertaStonequist thank you! Looking forward to completely healing after my surgery!
