I agree. I feel exactly like you do and am considering having mine out too. I had mine put in on 12/1/06 and I have felt terrible all year because of it. I've gained 10 lbs, I'm miserable, my boobs are bigger and I feel swollen and can't lose that 10 lbs no matter how hard I exercise or starve myself and I'm pretty small to begin with. I hate this thing... how ar eyou feeling now?? need to hear from you before making the final decision to remove.
