Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Boy, have I heard that story at least a hundred times. It is so hard to make those valves work right. I hope they are better today for all the unsuspecting women out there getting these time bombs in their chests! I'll bet you are just very glad they are out of your body!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi Lynda, Dr Blais says that 50% of my type of implant valves are defective, so when we get two implants, we have a very high chance of these leaky valves in one or both implants. He says the manufacturer is fully aware of this and sells them anyway. Go figure!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Consider how ethical I think they are (not!), it does not surprise me that they would sell them with defects. After all, we were all lied to about the dangers of silicone. They knew and did not tell us. And the FDA lets them get away with this. Tch! Tch! For Shame! We went there and tried to tell them about the saline implants. We told them the horror stories. But they said that the overwhelming need of women for these implants was the most important factor, and they allowed them anyway. Sometimes I have felt that going to the FDA and fighting this battle is like tilting at windmills, or like beating your head bloody on a brick wall. And at our own expense, no less.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Ann, When did you send your implants to Dr Blais? I sent mine the end of March and haven't heard back from him.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi Beth, I sent them a couple weeks after my explant on March 25, 2004. I just heard from him by letter yesterday. Maybe you should call if you don't hear from him in a few weeks. I know he has boxes and boxes of implants at his lab.
