ok so to update;
I did finally get a FEMALE!!! family doctor who specializes in women health so thats freakin awesome, I have been looking a long time and the female docs accepting patients are almost exclusively only taking prenatal patients on, so!!! yay!!!
she sent the referral to my surgeon who implanted them, and I'm supposedly going to be booked for the consult in may, although I did ask to be put on cancelation list.
what I found out; because my family doctor sent the referral for removal, its covered by SaskHealth, as long as the procedure is done in Saskatchewan.
I do not have to go with the surgeon who put them in (although he did a fantastic job putting them, they look and healed great - but I'm having autoimmune reactions non stop)
and I am tempted to ask around to see if it can be done any sooner.
I have found a Breast Implant Illness support group for Canadians and its crazy how many women are dealing with this and having them removed!
way more common than I would have ever guessed
do you have breast implants? get in here.

I thought of you when I was on Facebook recently, there have been a couple articles, or the same one show up on my feed multiple times haha, from the Toronto star regarding the textured implants and the numerous issues with them degrading and health issues and a rare cancer. I don’t trust the star, but I looked up the reports from cancer care Ontario and Canadian cancer society and it seems legit.Mrs.ChuckBass wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 3:20 pm ok so I had my doc send referral to another surgeon who I could get into a consult with for march 18th.
