Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have been to tons of doctors and specialist regarding my health. I'm meeting with my surgeon who implanted my saline implants next week to talk about having them removed. After reading the information with this group. So many of the issues have related to me!!!! The receptionist at the doctors office said I really didn't need to meet with him for this proceedure as they do it in the office now. My question to everyone is what should I have him remove? By reading some of the messages, it seems to be more than the implant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi and welcome to our group, I did the same thing as you and went back to my implanting surgeon to discuss the issues with my health and the association with the implants, and about getting them out. It was a Waste of time with a capital W!!!! Here is what you will most likely experience. The doctor will say that the implants are safe and that your health issues have nothing to do with the implants. He may offer to remove them or he may try to convince you to keep them as they often claim that you will be so depressed with the way you look after they are gone. (That's not always the case. With a good explanting surgeon you can look great!) Implanting surgeons seem to get defensive about " their work " and don't really do a good job of removal since they do not take the health issues seriously. They will take the quickest route and that is to just pop those babies out of you as quickly as they can. I even went with a woman to a consultation where the doctor bragged about how fast he could do the surgery. That is NOT what we are looking for! Some doctors nod and seem to acquiesce to your every request for a proper removal, but when it comes right down to it, they know what they are going to do ahead of time, and they them make excuses as to why they couldn't get all the scar tissue....too much risk, too much bleeding, it wasn't that thick, etc. They may seem very nice and cooperative, but when all is said and done, you are left wondering if they did all they could do. You need that peace of mind in knowing that all of the scar tissue was removed with the implants. Peace of mind goes a long way in this recovery. A proper removal requires doing an en bloc explant, or a total capsulectomy at the very least. This means that the doctor makes every effort to not only remove the implant but the scar tissue that surrounds it as well. Drains are also important..this removes all the fluid that is going to build up in the pocket where the implant was. Please research your explanting surgeon before you go through with it. Make sure they will do a total capsulectomy. This will give you the best chance at healing. Retained scar capsules can cause problems, and we have files on our website that discuss what those risks are. Keep asking questions! If you have a hard time finding the right surgeon, please check our list of recommended surgeons.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Welcome! There is a wonderful surgeon in Ohio. Lu-Feng is in Cleveland. She is one of the best. I drove from the west side of Michigan (7 hours) to see her. My husband and I stayed there for a week. She does full en-bloc procedures and is full knowledgable about implant illnesses. She said my explant would take 1-2 hours, it ended up taking over 3hours. She wasn't satisfied with closing me up with any infected scar tissue left behind. When i read her post surgical report it is amazing how many muscles that stuff was hiding behind. I am not sure how she could have done all that right there in the office. I have alot less stress knowing my surgeon cared that much about my health. Her staff is also very caring and sensitive to what we go through. Good luck, my dear finding someone to meet your needs.ua3mom <ua3mom@...> wrote: Thank you for all of the information!!!! I will check your list for recommended surgeons.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi UA3mom . There's absolutely no way I would allow my implants to be removed this way! Please take a deep breath, and take your time to understand what you need . . . then find a doctor who will do the job right the first time! . . . We have a number of women who have had to have second surgeries, after being seriously ill for an extended period because their implants weren't removed properly. The good news is that you can get much, much better . . . but it takes time and discipline! . . . Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi, Yes, removing just the implant isn't enough, and often the doctor who put the implants in isn't always the right one to take them out. First of all, you'll probably find that the doctor tries to talk you out of it, tells you you'll be deformed (I had mine removed, and I'm not deformed), insists the illness isn't due to the implants, and a doctor who doesn't believe in implant illness often doesn't remove the capsules or use drains. The capsules should not be left behind, and the implants should not be drained while in your body - they should be removed whole (en bloc). After the surgery, drains should be used - aside from the fact that they greatly reduce swelling which means you won't experience as much pain, they also remove fluids from the area that might contain some of the very things that contribute to your illness. I used Dr. Feng in Ohio. I live in New Jersey and had to travel 6 hours to get to her, and I had to stay in a hotel for 5 days, but it was worth it. She has alot of experience in removing implants, and my results are great. Plus I had alot of faith in her because she believes that some people get sick from implants, and I knew she'd take the capsules out.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Tina, Thank you so much! This is exactly the information I am needing. There are things I have seen my son do that I just thought was him or " just boys " but now after reading information on the links you sent, I realize it is not " just him or " just being a boy " . This information is very valuable. I think with it I will be able to help him progress and hopefully eliminate or minimalize problems in his near future. Thank you again so much.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I know there is an excellent article in the archives I thought may help you but couldn't find it. In the meantime below are two archives you may be able to pull advice from. (but to me it sounds like all aspects were not dealt with earlier) RE: [ ] Re: Do you have older apraxic children? Dear Liz, Have you gotten a diagnosis or a complete workup on your son's cognitive, emotional, and academic abilities? This is usually done through a neuropsychologist. Have you looked at PACE www.processingskills.com or read the book by Dorinne " Sound Bodies for Sound Minds " www.thedaviscenter.com There also was information on this messageboard regarding a pyramid for child development. Here is a theory (can't recall where I got this from - sorry to who ever should be cited here) of the learning pyramid of a child's development: Child development is a pyramid. The broad bottom layer is genetic heritage, which we cannot change. The next layer up is sensory development -- the major areas being motor development, visual efficiency skills (accommodation, convergence, etc.) and hearing, and the integration of these areas (visual-motor integration, visual-auditory, etc.). The layer on top of this is cognitive skills acquisition -- skills such as attention (ability to sustain focus, ability to sustain focus in the presence of distractions, ability to multi-task), visual processing, visual short-term memory, auditory processing, auditory short-term memory, sequencing skills, reasoning and logic, etc. The very peak of the pyramid is academic learning. Everything underneath affects the peak. Children with learning disabilities typically have a brick missing here and there throughout the pyramid. The farther down the holes are, the more profound their impact on the upper layers. From a remediation standpoint, it is best to repair the layers starting at the bottom so that you are always building on as firm a foundation as you can establish. This means that, ideally, you first find out if there are sensory level problems in the areas of motor skills development, vision and auditory processing. If so, you work on reducing these deficits first. Therapies that address sensory level problems include sound therapies (TLP, Tomatis, Samonas, AIT, FastForWord), vision therapy, speech/language therapy and occupational therapy (including Balametrics, Bal-A-Vis-X, NeuroNet, Interactive Metronome, biofeedback, etc.). Any time there are sensory level deficits, there will be corresponding lags in cognitive skills development. Once sensory level deficits are reduced as much as possible or ruled out, the next logical step is to check cognitive skills. Programs that address cognitive skills development include Audiblox, BrainSkills, PACE, and Instrumental Enrichment (Feuerstein's approach). Once cognitive skills have been developed as optimally as possible, the very last step is academic remediation. If all of the layers below the peak have been repaired, academic remediation will proceed much faster than if the holes had been left. Furthermore, with a solid foundation underneath it, the size of the peak will be larger. Therapies require a lot of effort on the part of the child, so it is definitely not desirable to try to add them to an already stressful full-day of school. Some families pull their children out of school for the therapy, some families do them during summer vacation, and some families homeschool in order to fit them in. My son has been to many therapists and treatments including Occupational therapist Speech therapist Developmental Optometrist - vision therapy, PACE and Master the Code. Audiologist specializing in sound therapy, Fast Forword, Interactive Metronome, mood Bell Each professional has successfully brought him to his age appropriate skills in time, so we move up the pyramid closing up the holes. There have been no guarantees, and lots of time and patience with all involved (and money, too). Every child learns differently and has other issues. I can only tell you what I did for my child. Could it be dyspraxia? Developmental Dyspraxia is a neurologically based disorder, a motor planning difficulty present from birth. It is believed to be an immaturity of parts of the motor cortex (area of the brain) that prevents messages from being properly transmitted to the body. There are three (3) types of Developmental Dyspraxia. Oral Dyspraxia, Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD), and Motor Dyspraxia. The three variations effect approximately 5% of the population with approximately 70% of those effected being boys. Oral Dyspraxia causes children not to be able to reproduce mouth movements. When asked to put their tongue up to the top of their mouth a child with oral Dyspraxia may not be able to, even though they do this unconsciously. Children with Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia have difficulty in making sounds or making sounds into words. For example, a child with DVD might have trouble producing sounds in the beginning, middle or end of words such as 'sh'. When trying to say " shop " it might come out as bop, regardless of how hard they try to produce the sound/word correctly.. Motor Dyspraxia inhibits an individual from moving as planned and organizing sensory input. Children with Motor Dyspraxia appear to be clumsy, but don't confuse a clumsy child with a child that has Motor Dyspraxia. While some refer to Motor Dyspraxia as " Clumsy Child Syndrome " they Are Not the same thing . Dyspraxic children are usually of average or above intelligence. As you can imagine, having Dyspraxia and not being able to get your body to do what you want it to do, when you want it to do it, (i.e. talk properly or throw a ball correctly) can be very frustrating to a child.

It usually takes the disorganized child longer to learn motor activities and the required practice can appear to be perseverative. http://www.tayloredmktg.com/dyspraxia/downloads/interact_dys.pdf Story of True story about , a globally apraxic girl who for years was misdiagnosed/misclassified/mistreated as autistic and/or mentally retarded due to inappropriate verbal based testing by the school. http://www.cherab.org/news/.html What is Limb Apraxia? " Overall apraxia " is often referred to as " limb apraxia, " referring to the arms and legs. Like verbal apraxia, it has a number of names. It is also referred to as " motor planning " deficits, global apraxia/dyspraxia, postural praxis, etc. http://www.cherab.org/information/associated/limbapraxia.html Motor Skills Disorder Synonyms and related keywords: developmental motor coordination disorder, motor clumsiness, clumsy child syndrome, developmental dyspraxia, specific developmental disorder of motor function, ICD 10, clumsiness, dyscoordination disorder, motor dyspraxia http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic2640.htm I hope these help.
