Re: Re: When to explant...

Terri, You actually had a doctor who sent you a letter stating that he would no longer be your doctor? WOW!

be my doctor, strange so sudden. So I made the decision on my own based on all the other sick women who had exactly what I had, It gave me hope knowing I was not alone, I had saline bilumen for 20 years, but found out later all the shells are silicone, I did not know about capsule removal at time of explant. The left capsule was left in there so after having the explant sugery and looking great I had to go to another surgeon 1 year later to remove that old capsule, it contained blue nodules and free floating silicone.
