Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hello. I have been in serious need of help for a decision on how and what to do for my breast explantation. I got them about three years ago (saline under) and I was so paranoid they were going to be too big for my size 2 frame. And they were. I asked for a full C but instead received a full D. I have tried to deal with it and bought and entire new wardrobe since I wore xs size before. Now I am happy if a medium fits. I never wanted to draw that much attention to my chest. But with that being said, here is the real reason I am here. Between Vanderbilt Hospital *I live in Nashville* and the Mayo Clinic, they cannot find what is wrong with me. Did I mention about 30k in testing? I am now waiting to see an endocrinologist about this orthostatic tachycardia that I have to see if it could be related to an adrenal issue. I am so tired of doctors and not feeling well. Did I also mention I am 34 years old and on 80mg of Nadalol just to control my heart rate? However, my norepinepherine is high as well as my aldosterone levels are through the roof. These symptoms have been progressively getting worse since the implants three years ago. I really think I need them out. I am worried about the cost since I just paid Vanderbilt 2k for all of their tests that told me nothing. Mayos bills are arriving as I type. My question. Anyone heard of correlation of saline implants and orthostatic tachycardia or other endocrine disorders? Also, who in Nashville does the explant?? There has to be someone here in this big wealthy city. I would appreciate ANY help! THANK YOU in advance! Dawn stressin in Nashville....

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Grace, are you aware how many volume of saline they placed? We usually grade these in "cc" or "milliliter", because, it seems that if you have a cup D, and would want explantation, you would need breast reduction. It would be like deflating a balloon and having excess breast tissue that would be sagged. Another option you can do without a breast tissue reduction is to have the volume of the breast implant that would be removed to be replaced by fat from another part of your body (fat grafting / transplant).It is not with tachycardia or adrenal problems, the saline implants have been correlated with so many other biological and most especially neurological problems. So the answer would be proper explatation which means a capsulectomy has to be done with drains.From: gracedawn0175 <gracedawn0175@...>Subject: Help needed!!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi Dawn, I understand your stress completely! You are right to be concerned. Your implants definitely can impact your endocrine health, and your heart health, as well as your immune system and almost every other system in the body. It all depends on where your inherent weaknesses lie. Over the years on our group, we've seen women with all of these issues in the various bodily systems. And we have seen women get better as well. There is only one Tennessee doctor listed on our recommended doctor list, and here he is: TENNESSEE Dr. ROBERT WALLACE, P/S, 7945 Wolf River Blvd. Suite #290 Germantown, TN 38138 (901) 347-8290 Toll Free: (800) 733-0622 http://www.drrobertwallace.com/dr_wallace.html Recommended by Dr. Shanklin. I do not know anything about him. But I am sure that he will be a good place to start. Many women have to travel out of state to get appropriate care, since the doctors who are knowledgeable about proper explant are few and far between. You may want to consider Dr. Kolb in Atlanta, GA, as she is one of the top experts in the country on breast implant illness. GEORGIA Dr. Kolb P/S Plastikos 4370 town Square Atlanta, GA 30338 (770)457-4677 WEB SITE. www.plastikos.com E-mail: drkolb@... Dr. Kolb has a clinic for treatment to help with your recovery after explant, including a neurologist and several other physicians. In fact, Dr. Kolb is excellent at email communications, and if you write her, you will definitely get a response from her. You've come to the right place! We understand your illness and experienced it ourselves. There is hope for better health ahead...don't ever give up. Patty > > Hello.
