ROGENE--ANYONE PLEASE HELP!

[Guest guest]

Rogene and friends,

I have found some more information on my operative consent and I am

going out of my mind on what it means and what I should do. Please

help me and tell me what you think or what I need to do!

I had emailed my story yesterday and Rogene and told my what needed

to be done. I did not get any paperwork from my orginal BA nor did I

get a card. I got out my operative consent form from last year when

my implant had completely deflated and read it. Really read what it

said. Really what it DIDN'T SAY! I don't know if all docters have

to use to the same form but where it says my condition, it states

removal of deflate implant imp(I don't know what that means) and

replace with new implant. The where it says risks and hazards with

aethet, allergic reactions and so forth it says " see op consent for

saline implants signed and dated today " . Why would it say that if I

already had saline implants? Am I looking to much into it? Because

on my last reop which was 2 weeks ago, says even more things I have

know idea means and some of his writing I can not firgure out but for

the most part I can figure it out--It says were it states my

condition-- capsul olomis or something like that then says, removal

of part deflate, cant figure out next word, implants & replacement

with new smooth saline implants. Where it states risks and hazards

with aeth, allergic reactios and etc, it states, " symmetry infection

ripple calcification bruising scar,hemotma swelling hard, cant figure

out next word,implant,cant figure out next word, something nipple

sensation? not sure of that.

With this 2nd replacement it doesn't say " consent for saline implants

signed and dated today " like my first reop it states " replacement

with new smooth saline implants. My fear is my reop from last year,

doesn't say, replace with(what I thought I had in the very beginning)

textured saline implant, it just says new implant and then it says

down further with risks and so forth, see op consent for saline

implants signed and dated today. I am very, very scared with what I

fear has been done or not done.

My very first consultation he had called my uneven breasts something

(docter language I could not understand)and that I could maybe get my

insurance to pay under a reconstruction surgery but it would take

time to go thru insurance and I said No, because I was ready to do it

now. When my right implant deflated last year, they pushed very very

hard for me to participate in this study, and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT,

he and he replaced my implant with a Mentor textured because that is

what the ID card said that I got AFTER he replaced deflated right

implant. But the card never said if it was the right or left. The

only reason I thought I had a Mentor Textured implant from the start

was because that is what my card said from the replacement. I NEVER

GOT A CARD THE FIRST TIME. When I went in this last time to talk

about why he put in textured instead of smooth the very first time,

he didn't say any different.

When I asked him why he didn't take my other implant out last year

and replace when he replaced the second one, he said because the

trauma of replacing both implants at that time when he wasn't sure if

that is what was needed. My left breast had scar tissure(Cc) he knew

I had to replace it, but he didn't. I asked him why my breasts didnt

look the same after he took out the CC(a separate reop a month after

he replaced my implant because of the uneven size) THIS STILL DOES

NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF MY UNEVEN BREASTS I go back to see if we can

even the breasts up by adding my saline. THIS IS WHEN AGAIN THE PUSH

ME ON THIS MENTOR SILICONE STUDY, I tell them no, and to please never

mention silicone to me again.

Time goes by like I said, and I have a part deflate on my left breast

and I know something is going on with my right(it started to swell

and got real weird looking, which I know now is infection, etc.) When

I call the docters office, once again his assistant mentions this

Mentor Silicone Study and that she will not mention again but asked

why I was so dead set against. Because it is very bad. End of

story. I asked her why I would have trouble so soon after replacing

the right and said it must have a high deflation rate, and she said

something so very strange, she said, Well, not with the one we

replaced it with. What does that mean and what kind of implants did

I have in the first place? Nothing is making sense!

THIS IS THE VERY SCARY PART-I go in 2 weeks ago for the consultation

and I ask again why he didn't replace left and he said to me that

just a CC would not have paid for the surgery and sometimes you don't

want Mentor to know what is wrong because they don't pay for

everything and I told him that Mentor sends a pair and that with a

deflation you can also fix the the other one at the same time, he

then says well, it would not made a difference with what is going on

with me anyway because the right implant has something wrong with it

and I told him that I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE IMPLANTS

and he changed the subject to replacing with smooth.I go in for my

surgery and they tell me that Mentor sent them papers, that they

never had seen before(MORE AND MORE LIES) and they want to see what

happened to my implants and they will send me a report on what was

wrong with implants. The day before he DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS

WRONG WITH THE IMPLANTS OR FOR MENTOR TO KNOW AND THE NEXT DAY I HAVE

PAPERS TO SIGN FOR MENTOR AND NOW HE WANTS TO KNOW So I had to sign

a release form to give them my implants. She made it sound like that

is why they are paying for the implants and I really believed they

wanted to know what was going on. I didn't think they were mine to

keep anyway, since LAST YEAR when my right implant had deflated, I

didn't sign anything and I didn't get my implant because I didn't

know I had a right to my implants.

I don't know if I had defective implants from the beginning or they

were silicone or if I had 2 different kind of implants and that is

why they looked different but something isn't right. I NEVER SIGNED A

CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MENTOR SILICONE STUDY I know this is

just crazy for this to happen to a 35 year old professional woman but

it did and I can't believe NOW WITH EVERYTHING I KNOW what I have

done to myself? Please tell me what I need to do or what your

thoughts besides ME BEING VERY IGNORANT AND NAIVE TO ALL OF THIS,

which trust me, I am well aware of that now! I know this is alot of

info to understand but please make me understand what is going on!
