Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 It's got to be in your future....your health situation will most likely not improve unless you do get rid of them. In all the years that I have been doing this support, I've noticed that eventually all women find a way to pay for this surgery. Some get very creative, but there is always a way. I know your situation looks grim to you, but hopefully you can put everything else on hold until you can get them out. (I hate this part of the whole implant mess. Doctors should adequately warn women about the need for a savings account specifically labeled for implant removal!!!! They need to tell women that once the implants are in, that is not the end of the financial cost!!!) Do you have parents that can help? Friends that can pitch in? Things you can sell? I'm sorry to hear about all your previous medical issues. No doubt they were related to your implants. I've heard of heart issues with several women (including one in my family), though doctors will NEVER make that connection, because they are too blinded. I was a single mom for 10 years, so I know what you are feeling...and I can tell you that there was no way I could have done this implant illness with my kids as a single mom. You need help. You need support. You may need to move back in with family until you can get this turned around. Stressful conditions are not going to help with your healing. Stay hopeful. Don't give up. That's part of the key to getting better. Things will eventually get resolved, but you've got to find a way to get this ball rolling.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Where are you located? the reason I ask is because I wanted so very badly to use Dr. Feng but also could not afford it financially. I went to my implanting doctor - which I still had a positive relationship with. Her staff is great and I would be happy to share my experience with you if it would help. She is NOT on the recommended list - and I would also first recommend using someone on the list since it is PROVEN that the do a great job. However, at this point - I would recommend my PS to others. She assures me she did what I asked (I am in the process of getting my surery report). Let me know if you would like the info - you can email me personally at: tommygirl18_1981@... Beth Talked with Dr. Feng I want to thank all of you that helped me in regards to finding a great doctor for an explant. Unfortuanly, there is no light at the end of the tunnel for me.

I'm very frustrated, being a single mom of 3 w/ an ex that doesn't help financially or physically.
