Hey All

[Guest guest]

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.

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,
