Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I think I'm the only one on right now so I'll add this and the others will tell the the real scoop later. Mine ruptured too so I had to have them out. My pathology report had noted the tissue was whatever that word means that says it is dead, I hated painful mammograms so I don't know how long they were leaking...years maybe. They need to come out right away. It is done as an out patient (or day surgery). There are many experienced and helpful ladies at this site. Give them a chance to get back to the postings and you will hear some needed advise.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Delores, Welcome to Saline Support! I'm glad you found us and are on your way to getting some answers! I'm sure Kathy ly- can help you find a Missouri surgeon too! . . . <kkjohnston@...> As far as having your implants removed, the recovery is usually much easier than implant surgery. Some women find their body feels relieved as soon as they come out from under anesthesia. As long as you've had your implants, you probably have a host of issues to deal with though, so don't expect to bounce back that quickly - but you should expect to get your life back in time. The key words in explant surgery is to find a doctor who will remove your implants " en bloc " . . That means removing the capsule with the implant still inside so any fluid contained by the capsules stays there. You probably have capsule material remaining from your previous surgery. That should be removed too. Your doctor should use drains to prevent a fluid buildup that could result in pain or further surgery. Chances are you have a systemic fungal/yeast infection. . . Conventional docs are slow to treat for this because the medications can cause liver problems. While you might get a head start with a round of Diflucan, you will need to continue treatment for an indefinite period . . . Recommendations Fungal Defense (one bottle), then Primal Defense for months. You can get the best prices by going online to www.appleadayandbeyond.com . . . Then phoning them on their toll free number for a discount they give to support groups. You must request the discount though. You can check yourself for a systemic fungal/yeast/Candida problem by spitting in a glass of water the first thing in the morning, before putting anything in your mouth. . . . Check after 15 minutes. If the water is clear or just slightly cloudy, no problem. If there's a milky blob floating with tendrils hanging down, floating chunks, or a milky blob sunken to the bottom, it indicates a problem. This test is not scientific, but you'll find it tracks well with treatment - and it's free! As long as you still have your implants, you will just be treading water, however, you will be in better condition for surgery, and bounce back quicker afterwards. It's also essential that you follow a healthy diet. . .. NO sugar! . . . avoid processed foods, refined grains (whole grains are OK). Eat as organic as possible. If you can't get organic, go for frozen. " The Maker's Diet " by Rubin is an outstanding book that tells you why you need to eat right, in addition to providing a diet, recipes and sources. I hope I'm not overwhelming you .. . We have a lot more detox recommendations we can discuss. Just take one step at a time. You can get overloaded - and feel really bad from herxes as your body starts turning lose of toxins that have been stored for so long. If there's anything we can help you with, ask away! . .. . You'll find many wonderful, sharp women here who want to help you get through this experience.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Rogene, I've been wondering what the " spit test " was and just never asked. I think I'll give it a try!
