Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Shana, Have the entire capsule removed. Very important. I sent my implants along with capsules to Dr.Blais. He found chronic abscesses in the capsules. He believes that was making me sick. I had bacteria in the saline but none leaked so if I would have had just the implants out, it would have not done any good at all. Even so, the capsules have poison in them from the implants. You should always if you can, get the implants and capsules out. 'en bloc' if you can. I didn't have this procedure because I was unable to travel to a doctor that would do this. I would go to one of the doctors recommended by this group. You can't go wrong if you do. I also was diagnosed with arthritis after getting sick with the implants. Good luck to you and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate. Beth S.kingmashana <shanakingma@...> wrote: Beth:Am having the exact same problem (plus arthritis symptoms) as well. Hair clogs up the drain and is all over the house! Did you have a complete capsulectomy or just implant removal? I'm asking because I am currently trying to schedule surgery but don't know which way to go. Original PS says no to capsulectomy (because I was soooo small to begin with) and Drs. Feng and Kolb say definitely yes to capsulectomy....if you could let me know I would appreciate it!!
