All hospitals in the US are required to give you all documents related to your surgery and hospital tests.
When you request this, specifically say that you need to know if BioZorb was implanted or what was implanted.

Quite awhile ago, someone said that she was allergic to the metals used to outline the sentinel node removal and she had problems with the metal.

Do not know if she will see this.
Ask also about any metal used, including permanent metal stitches placed….

Please get back to us on all this.

No one should implant anything in your body without your consent. ( did you sign anything pre surgery that you didn’t read carefully?). Your surgical record should tell you exactly what happened. Ask your surgeon for records

Your dam right it is. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall backwards n I catch myself. Sometimes I feel a drug rush, but when I drive it goes away. I wonder what would happen if I got pulled over. I go outback everyday. With my pups. I n park my 4wheeler n walk by our little creek. It's my little heaven. The only place I go. I am just a county girl that raised chick's & pups. I had to get a new family doctor too. My one I had Denies, I even have a biozorb, I don't know what to say. She sent me 2 this place, I should have got a second opinion, but around here there are not too many places to go. Small area we live in.

It should have been removed during lumpectomy. You need to tell the surgeon you want it removed.
