Thanks all for responding to me! I'm not alone....

Thanks all for responding. I don't feel as along anymore.

I have an appt. with Dr. Kolb in Atlanta next Wednesday. She

was very nice to squeeze me into her busy schedule. I'm sort of

nervous but am looking forward to meeting her. I'm anxious to hear

what she has to say and recommend for me to do. So far none of my

doctors think it's the implants. I just received all my bloodwork

results, b12, Lupus and MS, thyroid, and they all came back normal.

I'm not sure if that's bad or good!

Do you all think for most women if you get explanted within the 1st

year of having implants, you will have a good chance of recovery?

I've been reading her newsletter,

http://nweb.plastikos.com/newsletter/index.html, and have learned so

much.

So far I just have the tingling problem in my arms now and that's

scary enough. I am wondering if perhaps a tiny piece of the implant

has broken off and attached to the nerves? Is that possible?

Anyway, my next question is how long does it take to recover from the

explant surgery? I have used up almost all my vacation days this

year at work. I was thinking of being explanted on a Thursday and

returning to work maybe the next Tuesday.

Again, I appreciate all your responses,

:)Beth
