First pair of breast implants
I had two more larger pairs put in later. The first and second pair were saline and the third (and hopefully last) pair are silicone.

Not much of an update
As I said, my case for an MRI was denied by a third party doctor who may not even be a plastic surgeon. I called the Dept. of Managed Health Care who sent my case out to this third party but they won't return my call. I wanted to know the name of the person who called and said I would probably win my case because the FDA recommends an MRI every 3 years to check for leaks and/or ruptures. The only option I have left is to sue Kaiser for the cost of an MRI. Or I could crawl back to them and accept the ultrasound, which is only 60% accurate. I won't do the mammogram because it could rupture one or both implants. I wish I had better news. I still have extreme fatigue, constant sweating, and my implants itch all the time.

So sorry to hear of your challenges. This must be very frustrating for you. Any chance of doing the ultrasound to see if you get any other suspicious results? My relative has an ultrasound done every year and an MRI every few years with her implants. Also wondering if you could do just half of the mammogram...where they displace the implant and check the rest of you breast tissue. This is part of my mammogram procedure with implants, but I suppose it could be painful for you. How about some basic blood tests too? I am not a doctor, but just thinking of ways to get you checked right away, as much as possible. Hang in there and keep us posted on your progress!
This is a tough decision. No, I don't think mammograms have changed much. You may want to inquire about having the technician displace your implants during your mammogram. I am not a doctor, but perhaps visit your regular doctor for a routine visit to make sure nothing else is going on. Update us when you can!
