Re: Please help - went to ps re: being explanted today he said. . .

[Guest guest]

Thank you Patty. Point well taken. My options are still open if I feel any inner bell going off in my head when I talk to him about it next week. I have, so far, only spoken with his nurse over the phone to ask about the way he does his explant procedure. He may not be the one - we'll see. I want these things out today, but will wait a few weeks if I have to in order to find the best doctor for the job. I'll let you know! Thanks for your support!

Amy,

We have had so much experience with doctors saying they would remove

implants the proper way and then not doing it, I am always skeptical

of doctors who say they will do it right. We have had so very many

women who have had to go back and have the capsule removed

later. And many more $$.

Yes, and that is why we developed a list...to help women find the

right doctor without having to go through surgery to find out that

their doctor lied to them!
