"i&#039;m from the uk and live in london so obviously the nhs pay for it to be inserted/removed. i got mine in june and needless to say i reacted bad instantly. the bruising and swelling i had was ridiculous, not only need i get long stripes of bruising on my arm and lost feeling i also woke up the next day not being able to open my right eye (my implant is in my right arm) within 3 weeks i started to get a few spots which developed into acne i also gained around 14lbs and now deal with anxiety and minute depression. around 6 of my friends have it and they all love it but i&#039;m afraid for me i had to get it removed after 6 months- it also changed my hair type it gets very greesy (so does my hair). please be aware of the side affects!"
