Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi a, I am so glad to hear that everything went well for you. I found it very interesting that you were having problems catching your breath. I have had the same thing for the past month but i thought i just had a cold or something. My doctor put me on an inhaler. I am curious now to see what happens once these are out of me. How long did you have the drains in for. I will be praying for your speedy recovery. Just be sure to relax and take good care of yourself. Love, > > Dear Friends, > > Well.....I'm recovering at home in Salt Lake City after having my > explant on 2/26 with Dr. Huang in Denver.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 a, Thank you so much for updating us on your surgery. It sounds like everything went very well! Good job on the MedWatch report! Everyone needs to file one of these. That would be amazing if you could stop taking your blood pressure meds. I hope that is one of your outcomes. That is undeniable proof of the implants causing trouble for you. Take care of yourself and rest up. I think it would be wonderful for everyone to meet in Las Vegas. We should discuss this more and find a time that would work for everyone. Be well! Heal and get better!
