Received feedback from a few PSs so far

[Guest guest]

I'm speaking with the surgeon who put in my implants on May 14th so

I'm hoping that is productive in some way. He does do explants but

I'm not certain he is the right choice for me yet, I've not seen any

of his explant work, etc.

I did communicate with three other PSs, including Dr. Melmed and all

advise me to wait until I'm not breastfeeding. Operating on a

lactating woman isn't really what surgeons want to do, that I've

learned so far.

I've asked about removal via a trans axillary incision but no one

really wants to do that either, of course. :-) With the thin

silicone capsule, it's hard enough going through a periaurola

incision but all the way at the armpit would be really difficult. So

that's out. From what the surgeons say, I could have an incision at

the crease under the breast and the implant removed that way which

would mean no breastfeeding for several days but at least would leave

the nipple alone. And then the compression garment would probably

further delay nursing.

I had a bunch of memories come back last night. I remembered that

I've had arthritis type symptoms all the way back into my college

years. Sitting through a movie or a play in a threatre was really

torturous as my knees would ache so much. Flying in a airplane was

the same way. Then I was dx'd with repetitive strain injury for my

job and had to do physical therapy for that. So I've had all sorts

of weaknesses in my joints and connective tissues for at least ten

years.

Just thought I'd share what I've learned so far. I've emailed Dr.

Kolb with my specific concerns, also interested in whether she

follows her protocol since she has salines and maybe the protocol

could be used as a guard against silicone disease. I should think

that if she thought she should have her salines removed in case she

is having silicone leached into her body, she would have them out,

yes?

PS. I ordered a few things from primaldefense.net. Thank you for the

link!
