Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 a, Thanks - I'm determined to beat this thing! I'm thrilled that Dr. Kolb is taking care of you . . . I can't imagine another plastic surgeon taking the interest and care she does - of the whole person, not just the breasts! I know you're going to begin feeling much better when your implants are out . . . Most women go through a period of anxiety. Very normal . . . It would probably be abnormal not to feel it to some degree! I hope you can let all the doctors who treated you so horribly know what Dr. Kolb found . . . and when you are doing well, go by and show them how short sighted (I want to say stupid, but I'll be nice!) they have been! . . . It won't be long now! . . . Be good to yourself . . . You're in good hands! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi a, I felt the same way as I was approaching explant, complete peace with it. I can't remember the name of the person who was having surgery with Dr. Kolb last week - maybe someone else here remembers?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 a I am really glad that the tests that Dr. Kolb has run have identified some problem areas for you. It is so much better to have some idea of what is going on inside your body! Please have peace about your upcoming surgery. It is really important to feel positive about your outcome. I really do believe that our body's health is deeply affected by our emotional state too. Trust that God has led you to Dr. Kolb and that this will be the beginning of your recovery from implant hell. I will be praying for you and thinking of you on tuesday! Hugs and blessings, Kathy > > Rogene, > It sounds like they may have caught it early. I still feel positive > about the outcome. I know the Lord will carry you and your family > through this trial.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi a, I'm glad you're back and the surgery is behind you. I know what you mean about that feeling of relief to have them out. After reading your message, I understand why many of the implanting doctors want nothing to do with removing them after they've put them in!! They leave the tough work to someone else, and this way they don't have to face what they've done. I've been thinking about you and patiently awaiting your next post. Dr. Kolb performs the En Bloc procedure when she does the capsulectomy, I believe. When you're up to it, I'm going to compile everyone's stories and have them published into a book - designed to help others, not to make a profit from. If you're interested in submitting your story, let me know. Sis > > Hoor-Ray! Thank God I'm explanted! I had no problems with surgery > like I had expected. > > Dr. Kolb explanted me Jan 31. > (If ya'll remember my PS from 1988 has given me the run around since > implanted, so I did not know make, etc of what implants I had except > him telling me in '88, they were foam covered- saline filled.

We had been explanted the same week and I thought about you often. I am so glad to hear you now have peace. I don't know how I would have dealt with all that. I had a hard time with my "en-bloc" procedure. I had tectured saline. My tubes were in for 5 full days and we still took them out at the borderline measurements. We had already stayed an extra day in Ohio and my hubby had to get back to work. Dr. Feng told me I wouldn't be back to normal for about a year. I plan on doing everything I can to shorten that. We can get through this recovery together a. Thank you for your update, you are in my prayers! bluejaybliss <bluejaybliss@...> wrote: Hoor-Ray! Thank God I'm explanted! I had no problems with surgery like I had expected. Dr. Kolb explanted me Jan 31. (If ya'll remember my PS from 1988 has given me the run around since implanted, so I did not know make, etc of what implants I had except him telling me in '88, they were foam covered- saline filled. In front of muscle. And to massage gently so they would not rupture. And of course they would last forever, HA! HA!) Now what really was...Dr. Kolb got in there and I had Surgitek-Poly foam (at one time that is)and Silicone gel filled. Can you believe that! She said outside of implants were black mold, fungus (implants had been there for 19 yrs) The foam was long gone. She did a capsulectomy. Is that the same as Enbloc? I'm still confused. No rupture. They slowly leaked to half the original size. The left implant had embedded into muscle wall(that explains chest pain, smothering) she had to remove some muscle on left breast and a piece of shell had broke off (not a rupture in shell yet) so she cut that out of the surrounding muscle area. She removed Lymph nodes from under both arms. I was too sick for a up lift right now. Which I don't look as abnormal as I expected so far. I do not have the heaviness and smothering now. And needless to say I have now Peace of Mind. (Its amazing how explanting can do that).I do highly recommend the 3 day pain pump. I wished it was a 6 day pump. Because the 4th day pain really set in. (But with the right kind of narcotic you can tolerate it). The drainage tubes weren't as bad as I thought either. the tubes removed 6 days later. The only problem besides the expected pain from healing is where the lymph nodes were removed I developed fluid sacks the size of a large lemon in each arm pit. I noticed a few days before tube removal it was developing. I have to go Mon and get these drained. Dr. Kolb said this sometimes happens with alot of silicone in the area and it clogs the lymph draining area, and builds up. She said when she cut the lymph nodes out, they were stuck together with alot of stretchy silicone. Isn't that wild? My husband said "so Dr. Kolb you got all of it"? she said "just what I cut out around the implants and lymph nodes. That my whole body is full of this sticky silicone. And I had double whammy- Mold and Silicone- (Bio-Chemical Toxicity). And it would take a while to detox/flush it out. Fri night she told me to push this fluid sack down into a drain pocket she made below that area for drainage. Then to hold it in that pocket and quickly secure a ace bandage around my arm pit. Well that didn't happen. It hurt so bad trying to push this I cried. All night Fri and all day Sat. I stayed in bed. I had severe pain throbbing, all down my arms and radiating to my ring finger on both hands. The pain med did not help. Finally Sunday it eased with pain med. I dread her draining them. As far as chest/breast pain from surgery, I have the occasional sharp aches, but the burning and throbbing is gone. Tonight(late-late Sun) is the first time though I have felt like getting on the computer. So it'll take me a few days to read all the post I've missed since Jan 29. I'm sorry this is so long but I need to see if anyone is familiar with something.When Dr. Kolb done all her blood work, and one of the results were my MSH was low (30) and my Leptin level was 300 (normal is 1.1-27.1). She gave me a rx of Actos to start when I start back to eating normal. I have felt to weak until now, today was my first dose and I did some research on it. Is anyone taking this? I have a site I found on explaining how and why it works for the type of deficency' I have. http://www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/id/4291/searchtext/neurotoxins/ If you can't get it let me know and I'll send a page email to anyone that is interested. This is Part 2 on this particular topic. (Neurotoxins) Link available for Part 1 also in there. Let me know what ya'll think. And if anyone has any other findings for taking Actos (mine is for MSH-Leptin levels) let me know. Its given for Diabetes type 2 originally I believe. I'm not a diabetic. Though it does run in my family. My 47 yr. old siter died in 2000 from complications of the disease.I need suggestions on what type of diet would be best with Actos. Dr. Kolb said High Protien-low Carb. But I'm not too familiar with many. I've heard Atkins, but I don't agree with that large amount protein and the suggested types. I guess I could alter it. Well I feel like I'm back into the land of the Living. Who knows, after 6-12 months of detox/flushes I might just see what normal is suppose to feel like. Thanks for all the Prayers ya'll have done for me. I know I felt the hand of God on me through it all. I appreciate and Love you all, Its so good to be back,a Brings words and photos together (easily) with PhotoMail - it's free and works with .

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 a, I am so glad you are doing better. Sounds like Dr. Kolb did a great job. Do you know if a PS has to do a MRI to see if implants are leaking or can a gynecologist do this? I am saving money for an explant with Kolb or Feng. But, Kolb is closer for me. Take care and write when it is convenient. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi a! Congratulations for being among the implant less! Since you have lymph sluggishness, you might want to consider buying a dry brush to use. Dry brushing your skin helps stimulate your lymph system. Basically you want to use the brush on your skin prior to your daily shower. Brush your skin, toward your heart. Exercise is another excellent way to stimulate your lymph system. The exercise need not be strenuous, just simply moving will get it working. Good luck on your recovery!! Kenda > Hoor-Ray! Thank God I'm explanted!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 , Unless you have gel implants, and MRI wouldn't really tell you much . . . like if there was mold in your implants, or if you were reacting to the materials the implant is made of.
