Woman Has World's Largest Breast Implants Removed

(CBS) She may feel like a boob now, but Sheyla Hershey, the Texas mom with the world's largest breasts, wasn't laughing when doctors told her that her 38KKK implants were killing her.

"I had large fever and painful. I just couldn't breathe properly; it was terrible! I was in bed all day, couldn't get up," Hershey said in July, according to Fox News.

At that time, doctors told her that a staph infection caused by her recent implant surgery was dangerously close to entering her blood stream, where it can be fatal.

Now, after doctors drained infected puss from her body for two months, Fox Houston reports that Hershey has finally allowed doctors to remove her implants.

"I decided to go smaller -- a lot smaller. I just want a normal size like a normal housewife has," she told the station.

It may sound incredible, but to get breasts as large as Hershey's, the 29-year-old had to run back to her native Brazil to find a surgeon willing to implant two silicon breasts on each side.

The procedure is illegal in the states.

Now, the woman who had dreams of becoming the largest-breasted woman, must make do with more humble goals.

"Even though I love to have huge breasts ... I'm going to try to live without it, she told Fox Houston. "Hopefully I will be done then and be happy and just running around with my kids!"

I love the people here who believe so strongly in their own sense of righteousness. As if they have never done anything stupid. Moreover, some of them quote Bible verses...as if they are somehow better than this woman who has hurt herself because the Bible tells them so.

Because if it was my mother or sister I would not like them to refer to having, "infected puss," (pus) is the correct spelling!

She doesn't seem to bright as what did she think was going to happen with those bowlingballs on her chest?

run2jazz2. grammar check?

Drained infected "puss." Pronunce that out loud
It should be drained infected "pus." How would you like to read about someone in your family that way? It is a big deal.
Also the writer was very callous referring to her as, "She may feel like a boob now." This is a potentailly life threatening condition not something to joke about. That is really cold......

I guess she is the kind of person who needs to learn from her own mistakes. I just hope that our tax dollars didn't go to correcting hers.

[cobimistwalker]

Wow, that's an ignorant statement.

How stupied what women will do to look sexy and beautiful. Even knowing it could cost them their life. She deserves what she gets. Now will the men look at her the way they use to look at her (doubt it). Men/Woman only looked because they were so damm big and in shock to see such big ****.

Why does it matter to any of you how someone speaks or write. People make mistakes, and I'm sure all of you who are critisizing spelling and grammer, you act like you've never made a mistake in your life. That's why they put erasers on pencils because people make mistakes. Another thing, if you were so superior at either one, you'd be writing the story, or teaching English. My God people, lighten up and get a life. There are so many other important things to talk about instead of how someone speaks or write.

There is a reason that certain procedures are not done. How stupid can you be??

[cobimistwalker]

How stupid can you be? I think you just answered your own question.
