Re: Made appt with Kolb and got motel reservations !

Hi!

Honestly, I haven't seen much improvement...YET! BUT.. it's only been one month (exactly tomorrow). I have noticed some changes:

My shakiness/ anxiety attacks are less severe

My fogginess is starting to get better

Certain foods that used to " trigger " reactions, aren't...or are less severe

Other than that... everything has been the same! I'm sure it'll take a while b4 the major changes take place, but even YEARS is nothing in the long haul! I now have HOPE of a bright and active future! =)

I think that is a great amount of progress. It shows you are on the

right track.

Good luck to you..how long did you have your implants ? Were they saline ? Did you have symptoms from the very beginning ? I can't sleep at night , my arms,hands,legs and feet burn. And they seem to feel swollen...I hope by waiting till Sept 7th I'm not doing more damage.But we have a vacation scheduled and I don't want to ruin it for my husband.

It definitely takes time for our bodies to recover, and one month

post surgery you won't normally see drastic changes, the changes

take place gradually over time. Jenna who sometimes posts here did

see changes really quick, and within one month all her symptoms were

gone - but it takes most of us time, diet changes, supplements.

Glad to see you posted. I haven't been feeling well either. Some pain in my chest. My thumbs and left knee still hurt and my left shoulder really hurts. I'm still very weak and have no energy.

I tried to move a rug last week out from underneath some heavy boxes and ended up really irrating my left scar. Made the top of the scar turn almost a blood red. Dr. Kolb said it should be okay. It's still a little swollen so I won't be doing that again. Oh, my God, Tom just about ripped a gasket he was so furious at me!!!!

I'm disappointed somewhat. I thought I would have more energy by now since it's been 6 weeks post op for me. So I'm trying not to take the darvcet and using arnica instead. Plus I'm sticking to the maker's diet. One thing I have noticed. I think with all the detox products that Dr. Kolb has me on it's really speeding up the detox process. I've been feeling really green more often so I've figured out that I need to do more coffee enemas at least three times a week to get rid of toxins quicker. When I do I feel much better.

Do you like the smoothies???

I think of you and pray for you often.

Love,

Penni

Hello Ladies,

I have my explant sceduled with Dr. Kolb on June 3oth. If anyone has

any questions or would like to share their experiences with me you can

e mail me or call me at 757-715-2796. You can also email me at my

personal e mail at adkrick@....

The date is coming near and I'm trying not to even think about it too

much cause it is driving me crazy. I keep feeling like I want to cancel

it, but the next day I'm ok. I go through phases.

Anyhow, thanks for all your dedication to this site, it is such a

wonderful support! , it was nice talkig to you the other night

Have you decided who you will use? Dr. Kolb or Snachrrs.

Allyson, Congradulations on getting scheduled! . . . You'll be getting your life back soon! Please don't stress over the surgery. . . It's usually far easier than implant - you'll be up and about in no time . . . I've heard of some women going mall shopping the NEXT day! Hugs and prayers, Rogene

Hi Allyson,

We will be thinking of you on the 30th!.

I decided on Dr. Kolb. I had a couple of other conversations with

Dr. S....and really did not feel he thinks implants can cause some

of the issues I am having. Whether they are or aren't...getting

them out can only help the situation.

Don't cancel Allyson....just move forward. Even if you are not

having symptons now ( aside from your thyroid) ...the risk to too

great for symptons in the future. Plus, you will be getting married

and having children and I know you don't want these in you at that

time....!!!

Hugs to you,

I'm 7 months post op and some things have improved, others are more

stubborn. It only took a few months for me to get sick but it'll

probably take years to get well. I know the implants did this,

though, I didn't expect a miracle cure as soon as I removed them,

but of course that would have been lovely!
