Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 For me it was some weight loss, no more panic attacks, no more rapid heartbeat There may have been other symptoms but the above is what I will always remember If your surgeon does not do proper explant your symptoms will remain My surgeon asked other surgeons if they did en block with drains removing all the capsules - My surgeon came up empty handed so I had to go out of state to Dr. Kolb in Atlanta Georgia Type Angel Flight in your search engine they fly you for free if you cannot afford airfare Ask the out of state surgeon if their services include any discounts at any of the motels The motel I stayed at was reall nice - cannot rcall the name right now But it was the cheapest and gave free meals a few times a week plus they had a pool Sandy~ Hi, I was reading one of Dr. Kolb's articles "Silicone Immune Treatment Protocol" and she was saying how important the "en bloc" or "total capuletomy" procedure was in order to get all infected or effected tissue out. She mentioned that if your implant is submuscular (below the muscle) that doctors might not be able to get out all of the capsule due to that it might be adhered to the ribs/chest wall. My question is..how do I know if my doctor got it all? My doctor does know how to perform this procedure but he isn't exactly for me getting them out. He's even sorta rude. I just don't have the money to travel to a better or more supportive doctor. Also, my doctor did feel where my implants were and did say that my capsule wasn't thick and actually very thin and it would be easy for him to get out. Any advice or knowledge about this would be helpful. Thank you ladies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
