Hi Ro! Sorry you are still having problems with your implant! We have had similar problems, but I have to tell you that out of the blue about six months ago, the rippling practically disappeared on my right implant! The ps can't explain it other than it finally "settled" in. For the time being, I am happy with them. If I didn't have issues with rheumatoid arthritis, I would have switched to silicone, especially now that they have finally be FDA approved. I don't think my rheumatologist will ever be comfortable with me switiching though. Hope all is well with your family. My older son, Matt just got engaged! They are planning to get married 8/2006 after he finishes law school and takes the bar exam. Keep in touch! L&H, Frayda
