Holly

it is wonderful to hear from you again! I am so happy that you are feeling

better and wanted to wish you luck next week on your final operation. what a

wonderful suggestion - planning a meeting for everyone! How I would love to put

a face to all of the wonderful women who have helped me over the last year! I

am starting on disability next week so funds are going to be severely limited

the next few months for us - any ideas on cheap airfares to Hawaii? I don't

know if I would be able to make it but I would love the thought of being able to

meet everyone - for that matter, I live in Florida - near Tampa - so if anyone

would like to plan a little get away to rest I would happily welcome you as I

also would love to have a talk with someone who understands.

As far as your insurance question goes, I id the same thing - sent my insurance

a letter from Dr. Blais along with his report stating the faulty vales, leaking,

and contamination. My Explanting doctor also wrote the insurance a letter on my

behalf staing that they were leaking and weighed 30 cc's less than they were

supposed to. It took several appeals but Iheld strong and the finally paid me

back. Don't give up - they will always turn you down a few times.

Hi Holly!

Just wanted to tell you that my insurance approved my claim for my explant surgery the first time I applied! I had letters from every doctor I had seen (including my explant PS) that believed my implants were making me sick.

By the way, I would LOVE to come to Hawaii!!!!! Would be great to meet everyone face to face!!
