Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi and welcome to our group. Both of those doctors will do a good job. Since Dr. Feng is in ohio and a top notch doctor, why not go to her? I think you will be pleased with the results. I definitely think your symptoms are related to your implants. Your symptoms are very typical. Unfortunately, with out and explant,they will continue to worsen. Dr.Feng is very well aware of implant illness and will make sure to take them out properly. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. Hugs, kathy --- In , " jennag2224 " <jgalatis@c...> wrote: > Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi Kathy. Thank you for such a quick response. It has been such a frusterating time for me because no one understood what I was feeling and no doctors would give me any straight answers. It is helpful to know that I am not alone. Just got married last month and I have been putting it off for so long because of all of the wedding planning...now my husband and I want to try for children so I know now is a good time to get them out. I could not bare to live with myself if I make my child sick from breast feeding. Well it looks like our honeymoon money is going to go towards my surgery, I am so lucky to have an understanding husband! Thanks again. > > Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Welcome Jenna, I'm reading the messages backwards . . . looks like most of your questions are getting answered. You can see pictures of explanted women on www.explantation.com. There's just one thing to keep in mind . . . The immediate results may look different than you will in a few months. . . Think of sitting on a pillow, then getting off it. . . You will gradually " fluff " as the pressure is removed. Most women who have had implants have a systemic fungal problem. . . If you'll acquaint yourself with what this means and start treating it, you'll find it easier to bounce back. . . . There are a number of books . . . " The Yeast Connection " is an old one, but still good. Basically, you need to take probiotics, and eat a good diet . . . no sugar, refined grains or processed foods. It's doubtful that you can whip it 100% with your implants still in you . . . but you can get a good start! There are a number of other detox programs in our archives . . . Take your time trying them . . . ease into them until you know how you feel. Detoxing is an important part of getting better after having your implants removed. You can get your implants tested for pathogens by Dr. Blais in Canada if you want to know what's making you sick. Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Your husband does sound wonderful. So is mine! He was very supportive and loving. Believe me, the money is better spent on your health than a honeymoon that you might not even enjoy due to not feeling well. After explant, I would do some detoxing of your body and make sure that I was in good health before attempting to get pregnant. That would give you the best chance for a healthy baby and a healthy delievery! Good luck to you. Hugs, kathy > > > Hello everyone.
