Hey All...about Dr. Feng and pathology stuff

[Guest guest]

I did not mean to stir up such a contoversial subject, I was just

wondering about Dr. Feng's fees. My implants are saline, so I think

I will stick with my PS who's prices are reasonable, especially for

the Los Angeles area. I do appreciate hearing all of the differing

opinions though. Thanks.

On another note...I spoke with PS today about the pathology thing.

Their policy is to send to pathology who tests tissue for??? They do

not test the implants for leaks. Then they send to Mcgahn (SP?).

They test for leaks and will reimburse $1200.00 if found. Of course

I did not trust this, but a staff member I trust SWEARS that a few of

their patients have gotten checks from the manufacturer. Also, my PS

said he will weigh them which will give us an idea of leakage from

the valve. He says that the leaf type valve was very leaky, but the

kind I have is about 1%.

Anyway, of course if I send to Blais, they will not reimburse. As I

was reading on this site, it seems to be a reaction to the bags more

than anything else that causes sickness right? In other words, what

proof am I looking for with Blais? I think I forgot. I know I have

asked this before, but my brain does not always function properly, so

please forgive me!!! I think I read somewhere on this site that he

does not test for fungus? I might be wrong. Any input will help. I

am trying to decide what to do.
