? | LEF: MMA-vechter Cat Zingano deelt intieme foto's

Het vergt best wel wat lef om intieme foto's publiekelijk doenbaar te maken, toch besloot afgelopen week Bellator en ex UFC-vechter Cat Zingano naar buiten te treden en foto's online te plaatsen, mede als waarschuwing tegen verkeerde borstimplantaten.

De voormalige UFC bantamgewicht titelkandidaat, die onlangs een deal sloot met Bellator MMA, onthulde donderdag dat ze onlangs een operatie heeft ondergaan om haar borstimplantaten te laten verwijderen vanwege haar verslechterende gezondheid.

Doodziek

"Dit is mijn eerste fotoshoot sinds ik mijn grote operatie heb ondergaan", schreef Zingano op Instagram. "Ik heb een paar jaar geleden borstimplantaat ziekte opgelopen, maar ik geloofde niet in de ernst en wilde de verandering in ijdelheid niet riskeren totdat ik het zag hoe ik echt gevaar was. Ik werd ziek, zo ziek, zonder uitleg," zegt Zingano op social media.

Nadat ze een operatie had ondergaan om de borstimplantaten te verwijderen, zag ze onmiddellijke verbetering in haar algehele gezondheid. “Mijn training is tienvoudig verbeterd (bekijk alleen mijn video's) en ik voel in het algemeen zoveel verbetering. Er is mij verteld dat er nog meer herstel komt! "

This is my first photo shoot since I had my big surgery. I sensed and researched #BII a couple years ago but I didn’t believe in the severity and didn’t want to risk the change in vanity until I was watching it start to really kick my ass. I got sick, so sick, without explanation. I went to @drlujeanfeng and saw/met both men and women suffering from the same implant toxicity. Some had had implants for decades, some had had implants for months. Although I loved my curves, and I don’t regret the decision to fix my breasts after I had my son, if I knew then what I know now, I’d have made different choices. I have felt so much better since the explant. I’ve seen first hand how much worse it can get and I was extremely supported by my friend and fellow patient @shuriecremona who can inform you much more intelligently about it. I’m still rehabbing my lungs, ribs, endocrine system, muscles and some other related issues, however, my close people and I can all agree that I’m doing much better than they have seen in a long long time. My training has improved ten-fold (just watch my videos) and I feel so much improvement overall. I’m told there’s so much more recovery to come too! This photo shoot was about TRUE LOVE for my body and TRUE FREEDOM for my health. Thank you for being supportive. This was a big and intimidating decision and something that I encourage anyone with random, stubborn and undiagnosable symptoms to look up. It’s not just breast implants fucking people up, it’s an immune system attack because of foreign objects being placed inside the body... look it up and see if and where it fits. Some people are completely fine with implants, some people end up dead. The FDA is now required to label implants with this caution of health risk. Do your research. Much love. Wear your scars. ? @ericcoleman

Facing fear, risk, shame and vulnerability head on has only made me grow. The more you watch yourself survive the scary shit, the more you’ll know you can take it on. I wanted my next chapter to be perfect. The wins, the losses, the success and failures... I want to own them all, no excuses, in their own unique perfection. Not just fighting... ALL OF IT. If you’re facing a big decision, get the loves of your life and supports at your sides, get real and clear with yourself on your intention and let your integrity be the answer. This was scary. Being sick was scary. Going under was scary. Waking up was scary. Taking the bandages off the first time was scary. Showing someone was scary. But I’m ok, I’m healing, and I can’t wait to see what this decision does for my life. #truelove #truefreedom #BII
