Re: Going for my consult w/Dr. Melmed tomorrow!

[Guest guest]

Hi April,

I have not had my explant yet but many of the women suggested that

any doctor that is competent to do an explant procedure should in

fact have before and after pictures just as they do for implant

surgery. I know thats not much info but i hope it helps.

April,

I don't think you have to emphasize your health issues with Dr. Melmed . . . He's seen a lot of our women. He could probably tell you about your symptoms without ever seeing you.

However, it's important to stress that you are having a lot of symptoms. . . This can play a role in his decision as to how hard to work to get all the capsule out! . . .
