"i&#039;ve heard that this can be a good experience for some, but i unfortunately had a terrible time. it made me sick, have headaches, gain weight, nauseous, tired, a 4 month long period, and severe anxiety and depression (which was so overwhelming it was the #1 reason i got it out early). it was also very painful to extract---it took over an hour of a scalpel and tweezers in my arm before it finally came out. i understand that i may have had an especially bad experience with this, but be warned that it&#039;s possible. this implant is amazing if you want to be sick and suicidal. and also if you love the sight and sound of your own blood dripping into a metal pan because the nurse did not anticipate it to be so difficult to remove."
