Dear Kathy,

I would be very grateful if you could post my letter to the support group. That would be wonderful! Maybe that would help. I really appreciate all you've done. Thanks! Have a great day!

Kathy,

My name is Judy Outler from Houston, TX. I wish to have my implants explanted and am trying to locate a reputable explanting surgeon in Houston. I know of no other women in this area who have been explanted and just wondered if you knew of a surgeon in this area I could feel safe in using. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
