Just as important if not more, be sure

this doc will agree to remove them enbloc......

that means with the scar tissue intact around

the implant. This will make sure all the junk

is removed, as well as the contents of the implants

not dumping into your body.

God Bless YOU ! Awesome things are now

on the road to being healthy again !

Wonderful . . . Every bit as important has having drains is getting the complete capsule removed! . . . The preferred technique is called "en bloc" . . . That means they will cut completely around the capsule and remove it with the implant still inside to prevent anything from spilling into your chest cavity If at all possible. At the very least, the doctor will remove every last bit of capsule. . . then use drains.Make sure your doctor commits to doing it this way . . . even if he doesn't think it's necessary. Get him to put it in writing.Most plastic surgeons think it's OK to leave the capsule behind, that the body will absorb it. WRONG! It becomes it's own toxin-brewing

factory . . . constantly delivering a dose of toxins to you for the rest of your life. . . Hugs,Rogene Good News!

I went to my Endo today. He doesn't really believe in implants making

women sick but he gave the okay to have them taken out before trying to

take out my thyroid. At the present I am not stable enough to have

surgery but he said about 6 to 8 weeks till I'm stable, which is what I

was planning on. I have my explant consultations set up so now I just

have to choose the doctor. I am hoping to have my original PS explant

but I will only use him if he will use drains. My consult with him is

this Thursday. I am just so happy to be taking the steps to regain my

health! I've been ill so long I can't remember what it feels like to

be healthy! Have a great day!!!

That is great. I will have to go check it out when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing.

Isn't that a great feeling ???

Congratulations on your health news - keep up the good work.

Kinda gives you a wake up call and appreciation for life - the things we took

for granted before learning of this disease and then the blessings we receive

from such good news.

STAY HAPPY AND HEALTHY.

Oh, Jeanette, that is good news - I'm happy for you!! I would love to

get back to a smaller size, but right now I know it is more important

to work as closely with the doctor as I can to just get this pain under

control. I had to walk about a 1/2 a block today with my daughter to

get her HS ID and I didn't think I was going to make it and was wishing

I had brought my wheelchair. But, all in good time (I pray). Think of

me when you go for your walks in your new safe neighborhood - maybe I

can lose some weight through transference *LOL*....Doreen

Hi Jeanette, Doreen, and Group

i am the same way.  i gained some weight with prednisone and all other meds but

i feel that once this pain is under control i can start working on the outside. 

first i need to feel human then i can work on feeling better.  i tried to start

walking a little bit but then my feet start killing me so i will wait then get

back into shape.

Lucy had her one week check up yesterday with our orthotist and she is making awesome progress! We started at 11mm just 8 days ago on the first helmet day and today..... 7mm!!!!! I can't believe how quickly that happened. I hope the rest of treatment goes like this. I can totally tell the the back of her head is much more round and even - her forehead is still bulging a bit on the right and her ears are still off a bit. He originally predicted 2 months - so, hopefully this will keep up and this will all be a memory soon!

..what fabulous news about Chloe!!!! I am thrilled to hear that there can be an end to this long road..! Wyatt is not quite there.. yet, but his second look in late August didn't show any new Ctoma growth-- but his hearing is still quite diminished. We'll know better next month.

Best wishes for a continued C-toma free ear!!!
