I am leaving to Atlanta Georgia on Monday

My appointment is June 12'th.

My appt is for an examination only. Than

I go home and wait to hear back from my Ins Co.

Regardless if Insurance pays or not

I will still have the explant by Dr. Kolb

Hopefully my belly will go down somewhat

Once my capsules are removed.

I remember Sunny said she worked hard at

detoxing and when she awoke from her surgery.

Sunny said surprisingly her tummy went down.

I know our body chemistries are all different.

It's only a ray of hope,

Sandy~

PS. Ladies !!!

I will be thinking about all of you

and asking God to mend your bodies.

I wish we had a plan to help woman explant

It breaks my heart that woman suffer so much

because they cannot afford explant.

Anyone want to give Dr Kolb a thank you/ hug

Let me know and I will pass along your hug and gratitude.

Sandy,Hey there! I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your venture to Dr. Kolb's. I really do believe she is an important key in our healing. I'm late trying to get caught up with posts, but I saw where you said you're going to her the 12th, but had to reschedule for a later date. Hopefully you'll get taken care of soon! She is our angel.You are always in my prayers!Love and hugs,Brigite

Dear Sandy, Best wishes for a great visit with Dr. Kolb. She is not only a very skilled and knowledgable doctor...but a true healer. When I became aware of what had been making me so ill for so many years I searched for the best doctor to partner with in my fight for health and recovery. I was led to Doctor Kolb. From the minute I met her I knew my experience would be extraordinary...and it was. I have long been skeptical of doctors and trusting anyone to know what is best for me. (Haven't we all been fed a line with these implants in the first place? And then how long have we been running around trying to find anyone who has a clue as to why we are sick!?!) In my experience and opinion she walks with God and uses her skills as an extention of His healing hands for women with this complication and disease. She spent 10

hours operating on me to remove my implants"en bloc" and all of the silicone that had leaked and traveled throughout my chest (I was "grossly ruptured" according to pathology report), including some lymph glands. When she went to my husband after surgery he said she could hardly stand she was so tired. And she does the same thing for each patient she works with...day after day, week after week, year after year. She is so much more than a doctor! She is amazing! Wouldn't it be great to start some kind of a grant program for women who can't afford to pay for the surgery to remove these implants? Most women, when they reach the advanced stages of this "disease" are unable to work. If you win your disability fight with the Social Security Administration (another battle!) then Medicare pays for the surgery. (Now doesn't that send a message?) But for those who are too sick and/or tired to fight

the fight it is nearly impossible for them to find a way to have this surgery done the right way, thus decreasing their chances of ever improving or recovering. Wouldn't it be great to start a Non Profit Organization with the express purpose of helping women be able to have this explant surgery done...correctly? I am certain there are enough people "out there" who would donate even a little bit...that could make a huge difference in the lives of those without means and sometimes hope. Anyone here with the expertice to know what it would take to do this? I'll be praying for a positive response from your insurnce company. The sooner you can have the surgery done the better off you will be. I have healed so quickly and am doing better than I have done in many years. Not 100% yet, but working and praying every day for more improvement. Stick to the Detox as much as possible

and it makes a world of difference. Give Dr. Kolb my love! Deb in Korea

Deb, How are you feeling now? Thank you for a beautiful letter and testimony to Dr. Kolb! . . . Dr. Kolb is truly following her "mission" . . . She will take on women who are so sick no other doctor will touch them . . . She also will consult with other doctors on how to remove implants - and the importance of doing it right.She takes time out of her busy day to answer emails and phone calls. She is making a huge difference! The subject of a fund has come up before. It's desperately needed. . Where it breaks down is, as I see it, not as much the money - because there are people who would contribute - but the structure and management of the fund itself. An organization has to follow all the regulations for a non-profit, then figure out how to administer funds in a way that is fair to everyone. . . . Thus

far, individuals who have attempted to take even the first steps has run into problems - sometimes being accused of trying to enrich themselves rather than help others. . . And, frankly, sometimes it looks as that's what they were about. Ideally an organization that already has a structure could take this cause under their wing. So far, nobody has chosen to do so. . . In my personal opinion, I think it's because, as a whole, we can be so difficult to work with. Most of the women have cognitive problems that results in erratic behavior at times. . . We take things personally, misunderstand, get confused, forget, be suspicious . . . the list goes on and on. (It's interesting is to see how much women's thinking processes improve after explant.) When it comes down to it, between the difficulty of setting up a fund, then working with women who are, unfortunately, difficult to work with because of their

implants, people who might be interested have been discouraged. I wish there was an answer to this - but so far, I haven't seen any body able to address it. Hugs, Rogene

Hi Rogene, I am feeling quite well now. It will be 2 months on Saturday since my explant and I am amazed at how many of my "symptoms" have decreased or dissappeared already. We have been back in Korea for about 3 weeks and I have been able to resume the majority of my schedule, though I still fatigue easily. But I feel better than I have in at least 10 years or more. It is a shame someone hasn't been able to begin a non-profit fund for women in our circumstances. With all of the women who are having problems I would imagine someone would know someone who could start this fund. The good Lord knows there are many who need it. Is there a list of Doctors in Australia who will take on difficult explant patients? One of the young women we work with here in Korea is from Australia and her mother is

having terrible complications from a mastectomy she had done with a reconstrustive implant. Any suggestions? Thank you for all you do. Love and prayers to all. Deb in Korea Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Deb, How are you feeling now? Thank you for a beautiful letter

Deb, It's wonderful to hear you are doing so much better already! . . . Just continue to guard your health and don't let your guard down. . . Even after 13 years, I must be careful not to take things for granted. There have been at least three non-profits that I know of . . . Each ran into trouble in its own way. . . The women behind them ended up with black eyes and a world of headaches. . . Not right, but a fact. IMHO, The best solution would be for an existing non-profit with professional management to take on explant funding as part of their focus. . . But, as long as the medical profession basically says that breast implants are safe, they would be treading on thin ice with their supporters. Am I dreaming, or didn't Dr. Kolb try to get something started? I don't know how that's going, if at all. I don't know of any plastic surgeons

in Australia who we can recommend. I think I remember a few women speaking up who were from Australia - but not many - and I don't think the subject of surgeons has come up. Hopefully one of our silent members can give us some direction. . . I'll send a message to some of our other leaders. Maybe we can find someone for your friend. If not, I'd suggest that she take her time to screen the plastic surgeons in Australia. . . They don't have to agree that implants are dangerous . . . They just need to respect her desire to have her implants en bloc . . . to be able to do her surgery right, and willing to make a commitment to do so. Hugs, Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene, Thank you for the info. I will pass the sad news on to this woman as well as the address of this support site. Hopefully she can find someone to help her. If you hear anything else please let me know. I'll ask Dr. Kolb about the NPO. I also have another friend who runs a large NPO and has authored 5 books, and I'll run it past her too. She actually has had 2 sets of implants fail! Maybe she'll be sympathetic. I am constantly on guard with my health, which is a challenge in a foreign country with a language barrier, but I am doing all I can to "stay clean" and eat well. It is the Lord's blessings that keep me going...but I try not to push it too much! Love and hugs!
