In my search for a surgeon I called a in Miami from your list Dr.

Barroso. He DOES do en bloc, for the record. It's the only

type of explant he does when possible.

Anyway, I was speaking with the receptionist/coordinator. When she

asked him if he did en bloc, he assumed I had old silicone implants

and she wanted to confirm that. I told her that, no, I had saline,

and they were only a year old, but I was having some related health

problems. She asked me what kind and I told her (the usual we in this

group are all familiar with). She told me there was NO WAY that

autoimmune disorders were related to implants. Instead of bristling,

I said something like, " Well, I have been reading a lot about it,

talked to a few surgeons who have actually confirmed my exact symptoms

are similar to those many women have, etc, and that a lot of women

really improve once they get their implants out. Even bloodwork

improves. " She said there was no literature to prove it. I said, " au

contraire! " Then she asked me to send her links to what I am learning

because she herself had saline implants put in four years ago, and two

years ago, SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUPUS. She has always been told they

were unrealted and hasn't questioned it.

Not only did I possibly reach one suffering woman, but it may actually

reach and convince that surgeon she works for!

Welp, I dun did sumpin' good today.
