Re: I need your help & opinions! My story/history w/Saline Implants--Sis

[Guest guest]

Sis, Thank you for your support! Do you remember me from a couple

yrs ago? I'm from NJ, too!! I know; it's amazing that this plastic

surgeon acknowledged that my implants could be why I'm so sick!

That's almost unheard of, unless you go to one from the list here.

You're absolutely right about enbloc; the guy who replaced them,

broke them in my chest & had to wash me out w/antibiotics(which the

fungii had a party with!). I did see Dr. Kolb back then & had been a

regular here, so I know what needs to be done & learned the hard way

to get it in writing; huge mistake I made w/ the 2nd surgery. So

thank you for responding to my post & I wish you continued health!

Hugs, Cheryl
