Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Renata, I'm thrilled you've found a knowledgable doctor! We need all we can find! There's no way the few doctors we recommend can remove all the implants that need to come out! Have you scheduled surgery yet? Please confirm that Dr. Azurin will remove your implants en bloc! Sometimes, even those doctor who are sympathetic don't feel it's necessary to remove the capsules, or use drains until the drainage stops.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's what he told me, Rogene - that he does en bloc. I really liked him but he did not take my insurance, and was not willing to take only a copay...We just couldn't afford that then. > Renata, > > I'm thrilled you've found a knowledgable doctor!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hon, we could not afford the copay right now, to see doc once a week. I will have to do it on a once/month basis. > >> Renata, > >> > >> I'm thrilled you've found a knowledgable doctor! We > >> need all we can find!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi Renata! Congratulations on your explant! Please write soon and let us know how everything went! We are always happy to hear of doctors who know and understand the dangers of implants and that women are getting ill from them. How is the physician doing that was explanted of all her silicone appendages? If she is doing better, I hope she stands up and starts talking about what she has been through! Keep us posted...and thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Congratulations Renata!! I really liked Dr. Azurin.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 You go Molly! . . . One day at a time . . . You'll get there! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Molly, I wish you (and everyone else) would call Leonard, FDA 800 638 2041, ext. 141. She's the FDA's implant liason. She's not a decision maker, but she will pass your comments on. I asked for a decision maker to call me . . . so far, nobody's called. Why am I not surprised? She also has an email address Leonard <nml@...>. Apparently they keep track of all emails. She knew the date of my last email when I talked to her. If we don't keep telling the FDA what we know, they think we aren't going to speak up! We've got to keep on keeping on until these mess is resolved! Another good person to stay in contact with is Zuckerman <dz@...>.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi Rogene, I have spoken to Leonard. It obviously has not helped. But I have put in another call to her. Thanks for the phone no. I no longer had it, and would have to look it up. I also have talked with Zuckerman.
