I flew from Austin to Atlanta to have Dr Kolb perform explant and lift because My health was rapidly declining and my integrative medicine doctor told me it was my breast implants. He told me to join the Facebook support group "breast implant illness and healing" to learn more. Wow! Thousands of ladies with all the same symptoms that they never attributed to their implants! I woke up fast! Everything from Automiune disease to disabling fatigue, chronic joint pain, nnumbness in the arms, heart palpations, blurry vision, burning behind the cheats wall, there a list of about 20 symptoms that are recurrent among everyone. The ladies who explanted all resolved their medical issues, some with a week, other over a year. Ladies who went to surgeons who left capsules in did not recover in most cases. My point is that on this board I learned that Dr Kolb is the #1 choice for explant and the only one who does detox and removes 100% of the capsule. Her patients healed. That's all I care about. I also liked that she did my lift internally. I am two weeks post explant and have a indentation form but i know that that's where I've always had a trouble area of thin tissue. Dr Kolb isn't for everyone. You have to be spiritual led there and open to holistic healing. I liked her very much and she spend almost two hours with me! I see the 1 star review here that complains about her office not being aesthetically pleasing and remind myself that flashy surgeons offices are what got me into this mess. It's acceptable and I didn't see any uncleanliness. I'm not concerned about her skills in Interior Design I'm only concerned with her surgical skill. She's the best. No question. The reason her office is somewhat cluttered is she's so busy saving lives. I limped in there and got off the recover table walking!! She's got ladies clamping to get in with her who are very ill. I would only trust Dr Kolb for explant. She's the only surgeon who's not afraid to tell the truth about the toxic effects of implants and what it has done to your body. I had a capsule left in me from previous Dow Corning ruptured implants 28 years a go! I think she over uses muscle testing as a decision making tool and she's understaffed but if you've been sick this is worth the flight to Atlanta.

I read her book too. Very helpful. So many women say Dr Kolb has saved their life. I'm one of them. I'm feeling so much better.

I absolutely wanted HER and her alone to do my surgery :( :( I just couldn't afford it or to take a chance or to wait months and months to see her and wait on my insurance which is already IFFY . :(

Aw I can relate, I would love to have gone with Dr Feng... Because of her experience, skill and attention to holistic treatment!...but there's no way... I really hope there's a lawyer over there that's no win no fee? I've already looked into one incase I get rejected for compensation... ;) it's worth picking your battles and this is a battle I feel is worth pickin! Lol ;) I'm going to write a list of health issues anyway..that's not my major argument but it will add to it. Perhaps you've done the same?!.. Hey at least we are on the right track and I agree, better sooner than later... I could've gone cheaper but wanted sooner, actually I'm really lucky because the guy that's the best could take me soonest anyway!...he's taking care of my op straight after cancer patients... :)

uhm That is amazing and yes < I totally wrote the ENTIRE list and over ten years worth of what I have been going through when I uploaded my recent pics and guess what....MY IPOD died! I was using my ipod (Apple just ...dies...I wasn't paying attention to the red because I was really spinning my wheels writing up the hell I have been through over ten years)
I am over here wondering Today was a bad day for me. I got my kids on the bus and went to sleep. despite having so much to get done. I just was in so much pain and can no LONGER keep taking 800 mg of ibuprofen and sitting my back and neck on a heating pad.. I needed a nap , it is not like oh I am a busy mom, i feel tired. There is no control over this and I just nod off -Like my eyelids are like NOPE not staying up! I am not going to lie, I have felt like I was flat out just dying some days.
Many friends, and perhaps even myself, thought this was from depression over my marriage. True, depression and stress are absolute killers but i have had these issues sooo long and well other life stress (was life even stressful in our 20's???) so irony that these issues peaked/got worse right around 8 years...here I am 14 years in agony and worse.
SO glad this is working out for you to your liking and you are getting the doctor of your choice and you will be on the other side soon!!!!

Woah, that's freaky how similar that is to me!!... I'd take my kids to school and feel exhausted, climb back into bed!... :/ I can totally relate Luvy!... That energy suck alone is enough to make you feel depressed! That is why I shared that health blog, because it got my head back above water.. Ohhh poor you though with the neck/back pain... I get that too!.. I don't like to take lots of pills either, figure it's better to get to the source... Gosh it's such a flipped have that these are "safe"... I was reading last night some testimonials that were read to the FDA about their symptoms etc, but they'd let the manufacturers set the guidelines for determining if they were safe or not!..including the questionnaire for doctors, there has to be a diagnosed condition directly related... Ugh, how many friggen clues do they need?!... I'm feeling wild today about that, because I got little sleep probably sub consciously stressed about it all and have I given myself lymphoma etc?!... But hey, just think Chicky, we will be doing all we can and our bodies will feel soo much relief from getting these out... You hang in there with me!... Xxxxxx

Oh ps, no mine are PIP ruptured silicone! :(... And what's worse, no one told me when the scare happened!... So I'm losing half a dozen lymph nodes and all this fatigue I've battled not to mention anxiety etc and other symptoms too... Last year I was hospitalised with a blood disorder, they thought I had cancer and found massive inflammation...interestingly in the exact place another lady had it who wrote a testimonial for the FDa too!... It's the White blood cell that indicates allergy... Of course the hospital system didn't even guess it could be related and altho I had X-rays and ct scan they didn't look at my boobs! ... :( so I have detoxed which brought some relief from the blinding migranes and vision loss etc and tinnitus, but was gradually feeling tireder n tireder again, and then developed these lumps under my armpit and beside breasts... So was put on waiting list but I thought to hell with that!...my husband would've been dead if we hadn't gone private for his veins... Soo...I paid three weeks of my wages since I only have one day's work now ( oh did I mention I lost my job when they thought I had cancer?!...I literally trained the person for my own job..that was gutting too..). Then I had to give up my cats which I loved dearly, and this made me grieve again over my little brother who'd died the year before at 37 to an accidental drug overdose after a pitiable life of self abuse caused by child sex and emotional abuse!...ugh!... So I know suffering sweetheart I really can relate!... I keep my eyes fixed on what is promised in the bible to keep myself sane lol... ;) [RS bleep] private message me anytime if you want an extra ear or to share more closely this journey of yours?! [RS bleep] lots of love and huge sympathy for your suffering... We are nearly there! ;) xxxxxxx

Thanks. It's three steps forward one step back progress. Feeling 80% better with occasional bad days. At least now I'm on the road to better health and my body has a fighting chance.

Yeah. I'd been to so many doctors who kept increasing the bioidenticle hormones instead of getting to the root of the problem. Then I went to an advance doctor who happen to be successfully treating several ladies with breast implant illness.

Sorry to hear about your medical problems. It's a battle no one will understand unless you've been through it. The pips are the worst. I had to get three silicone filled lymph nodes removed too.

Hi there, and welcome! Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you have general anesthesia? And do you have any before and after photos you'd be willing to add to your review?

Yes. I had general anesthesia. I'll add some pictures.

Hey- I just met with Dr Kolb yesterday. I see you did the same procedures she recommended for me post explant. Please reach out to me. I could benefit from your experience and advice. Kind regards.

I had mine removed in January after 30+ years...I finally feel like there is a hope to really be me again, and feel well. Good luck.

I feel renewed. Funny because there I was all stitched up and feeling better than I had in a year.
