PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND LOOK INTO MELISA.ORG ....I AM PUTTING THIS IN BIG CAPS AND BOLD FONT SO ALL CAN SEE. IT IS AN ACTUAL BLOOD TEST TO SEE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO TITANIUM, PRONOUNCED "meliza test". I myself did not have breast surgery, but I had my gallbladder removed 9 months ago and have been living a nightmare. I have had many tests done and none can say why, i finally started to look into whether i may be allergic to the titanium cilps they put in me. I  know a lot of doctors act like it's a low chance that someone would be allergic to titanium but do not listen, get yourself tested for the allergy. From my reading, a regular patch test done by an allergist will not work, you need an actual blood test. The test is called THE MELISA TEST. I will be doing this in the next week or so. From my understanding there are labs in a few different countries that do the test,  in the USA, i have found two. A lady who is a doctor and works with the MELISA organization responded to my email and told me of a lab in South Amboy, New Jersey that does the titanium allergy test (MELISA TEST). I also think there may be one in Wisconsin. I called the lab, had them fax the form to my doctor, he filled it out and faxed it back to them. Now they will be sending me a kit that is safe to ship blood in. I'll go get my blood drawn and then ship it. From my understanding it will cost me 75 dollars to test for the titanium allergy and they claim it'll take about ten days for the results. The lab in New Jersey is ran by a female doctor, so it is nothing shady. It's a certified lab. They also test for other metals, so i am also thinking of testing for stainless steel allergy, because from my readings stainless steel contains nickel, which a lot are allergic to. I'm not sure whether my clips are titanium or stainless steel, but since it's like pulling teeth to find out, I will test both. Please look into this...I wish you all well, things will be better, keep on keeping on....after hurricanes come rainbows...big hugs!!
