BG,

I'm sorry to hear you've been had . . . but you're not

the only one! The main thing for you is to decide what

you're going to need to do to get well! I'm so glad

you found this group!

Where do you live? . . . We have a list of recommended

surgeon in our archive section. Your implanting

surgeon is usually the worse choice. You will need

someone who will remove your implant " en bloc " - i.e.

remove the capsule with the implant still inside to

avoid spilling the contents of the implant into your

chest cavity. You should also have drains.

You can feel much, much better . . . it takes

discipline, time and patience. But life can be good

again.

What can we do to help you?

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene
