Re: Cost of implant removal

[Guest guest]

Emerald . . . I don't remember Dr. Feng's prices . . . but you can expect to pay from $5000 to $12,000 for some surgeons . . . the area of the country can affect the price . . . There are a few instances where it's done cheaper (probably because the surgeon cuts his fee) . . . and some instances where it costs more. One surgeon cut the price when it didn't take as long as anticipated!!!! When the price is low, one may want to consider if the surgeon really plans to do an en bloc removal . . . If they tell you it will only take an hour, that is another alarm . . . Some explants have taken as long as six hours . . . overs should be easier to remove than unders. Not necessarly a red light though! Rogene

[Guest guest]

interesting. thank you. Well, I suppose I will take out some sort

of loan or something. it's my own fault, I should always have had

this kind of sum ready should something go wrong. It's one of those

cases where you find a way to make it happen.

My implanting surgeon said it would take him one hour to explant -

when I called Dr. Feng she said it would take two. When I actually

had the surgery with Dr. Feng, it took her three hours!! One thing

they don't tell us when we're getting implants is to start a fund

for the day when we'll have to have more surgery.

oh, no kidding, Sis! I may end up waiting a bit to save some money,

since my issues are not totally debilitating like so many. But,

there is no point in beating myself up. Lesson learned.

Emerald, One thing you want to confirm is the cost of the surgical center . . . Sometimes they spring a big bill on you AFTER the surgery. . . Rogene

> Hello Emerald,

My name is Terri P I had explant one year ago after having what I was

told was very safe saline implants put in 20 years ago. I lived in Las

Vegas at the time and went to Dr. Gordon it was 3030.00. I think he did

a great job except for the fact at the time I didn't have this web info

and only had the right capsule removed. On the left he just cutinto the

capsule for biopsy and just took out the implant. One year later my

fibromayalgia is alot better, I had completely lost my memeory but it

is completely back, my breasts which were a DD before implants filled

back out nicely. I did gain weight so the breast tissue filled back

also. I am still a DD with no implants, I was very worried about the

explant surgery but as long as you go to someone you feel comfortable

with and who has done the enbloc you will be fine. If you have any

questions about my personal experience I will gladly share.

I live in Hawaii now so I will say Aloha for now my dear,

Terri P

[Guest guest]

Aloha, Terri,

lucky you, all that access to wonderful, healing fruits there!

If I may ask, will you have to have the other capsule removed down

the line? I have read a few things where people still have them in

even after surgery. Do the dr.s really think you will be back? is

it laziness or malice? Can you tell if a capsule is in with an

xray?

thank you for sharing.

Oh, Terri...that's terrible...what a thing to find out! Well, on the

postive side, you will get more of your health back. Do you have to

pay anything for this new surgery? You definitely shouldn't have to.

Yes, Terri, thanks for sharing that did help. It makes me shudder to think that you believed the capsule was out and it was still there. I think 'how will I fully trust that the dr will remove everything as I request' - is there a way to tell if the capsule is indeed still there afterwards, if one has doubts - an xray? or an MRI? I can see why so many go to Drs. Feng and Kolb, just for peace of mind. I totally can see why you thought this guy would be good - the betrayal you felt must have been huge. I hope you can get some answers soon from this new ps? oh, hang in there, you are almost at the finish line it sounds!! I am going for a regular physical in a few weeks and my doctor is one of the few truly warm and supportive ones, so I will pick his brain about any one else he might know. I am thinking it couldn't hurt to 'interview' a few - heck, I did it when I got these things in, so why not

Just brainstorming . .. but I think that if one told a doctor that you were concerned about breast cancer . .. that there is a lot of breast cancer in your family . . . and that you want the capsules completely removed so they won't be mistaken for cancer - they might be more cooperative.. . I don't like the idea of lying though . even to liars! A capsule would be likely to show up on an MRI - unless it was very thin. .. an xray or mammogram??? I would think that it would depend on the condition of the capsule. Rogene

I go in this coming Monday (Aug 21st). I can't wait. It seems like I have had to wait forever, but I know not as long as some others have. Someone else wrote about wanting to cut them out herself she wanted them out so bad. When I first started reading about what they may be like just sitting in my body, I wanted to do the same. I felt like moving too much or laying on them would do something really bad - like having a bomb in my chest. The closer I got to surgery, the less I felt that way. I Pray this works and I can get some of my old self back. Good luck with your ps search and God Bless.

- I will think of you on Monday! much love and healing

energy! it is exciting, it's wonderful. you Totally captured how I

am feeling now, the bomb in your chest feeling, is exactly it. - I

just notice these awful things so much more, and seem to be going

thru another phase of stinging/burning pain. I was never much for

sleeping on my side, but the asthma gets so bad at night, that it

helps to lay on my side - then the boobs move and shift and feel so

heavy; laying on my side always has resulted in noticable pain the

next day. I am very happy for you to begin this healing phase

Hi , Thanks for the encouragement. I am looking forward to getting it over with. I Pray that you can get your surgery soon and that we both feel better. That everyone with these terrible symptoms can feel better!! It not only takes a toll on our bodies but our emotional well being as well. Is your asthma something you had even before the implants? During my illness (after implant), I began to feel like I couldn't get enough air in my lungs. It was like when I tried to take a breath, something was holding my lungs so they couldn't expand all the way. One doctor thought I had asthma and gave me the pills and an inhaler. It didn't help at all. The medicine just made me very jittery and I still couldn't breathe.

Thank you very much for the encouragement . I Pray that you can get your surgery soon and that we both (and all of us) can get better. How long have you had asthma? I started having problems similar to asthma after about 3 to 4 years of implant. It feels like I can't get enough air in my lungs. It feels like something is holding my lungs so I can't take a full breath. One (of the many) of the doctors thought I had asthma and gave me the medication for it (pills and inhaler). The medicine didn't help my breathing at all, it just made me jittery. God Bless. I will let you know how surgery goes.

hi - me too - about 3 years after implants it hit me pretty badly. I experienced my first breast pain around this time too, stabbing/stinging. I had EKGs, lung xrays, awful shots in my lungs - nothing, of course, was ever found. I don't consume dairy (Which, of course, is highly mucus-forming and is hard for asthma and allergy prone people to take; grains also effect many in this fashion) so I know it wasn't that. Every ailment seems to center around my heart and lungs - the dr.s were stumped (of course they were!) It will be such an amazing feeling for you to have YOU back, I am guessing - maybe then your overall well-being will increase, and as your immune system gets stronger, the asthma will lessen. I always seem to have had (since the implants) and overactive immune system - which means basically your immune system is recognzing and attacking something as a foreign body. It's so simple, isn't it? Really, incredible

that for a whole decade, I was overburdening my immune system so heavily and for most of that time utterly clueless. I am really excited for you! I go in tomorrow to meet w/ a ps - yes, the one who did it, but I am starting somewhere. I just secured the finances for the surgery, so, as soon as I find the right dr., I'll be making an appointment.funx2sweet <funx2sweet@...> wrote: Thank you very much for the encouragement .

, That is SO great! I am glad that you are on your way. I will Pray that you God will take you to the right surgeon. I didn't go back to my original PS because I just couldn't remember his name. That sounds bad I know but these days, I walk around in a fog. I have all of the paperwork from my implant here somewhere because I never throw anything away but have not looked for it yet. My original PS did a great job and I know that he would probably do a good job of removal but... I found another PS that I am comfortable with. I also seem to have a lot of upper respiratory problems. The one doc that treated me for Lymes Disease kept also checking my levels for other things like strepp, and Legionella. They kept coming up positive as well eventhough I do not remember ever being sick enough to have had any of those. When you take into account all of the evidence, it seems so simple. You would

think a doctor would put two and two together. I kept thinking at the time of implant - these are foreign things in my body and what are they going to be doing in (and to) my body for all of the years to come but I didn't listen to that little voice. I wish I had now but I am grateful that I can have them explanted. God Bless Emeraldkittee <emeraldkittee@...> wrote: hi - me too - about 3 years after implants it hit me pretty
