Settlement Question ??

January 13, 2003

Hi, I haven't written for a while. I had surgery Dec. 5th to get the

right implant removed and ended up getting another one put in. The

reason, the Ins. wouldn't pay for me to get both inplants removed

because only the right one was " ruptured. " Guess what, it WASN'T

ruptured when he got in there. It was just a fold that showed up on

the mammogram. I had unnecessary surgery. The Ins. ended up paying

for it all, thank God.

I argued with the Ins. Co. for 2 weeks trying to talk them into

letting me get them both removed and NO MORE ever put in. What a

mess. They just wouldn't let me do that. Now since the silicone

rupture replacement, I have had a set of saline and now 4 replacement

surgeries. Total of 6 implants!!! I am so stupid for getting more put

in. I use the Mentor brand and they replace them for nothing. I

think I should sue them for faulty materials. I am going to wait for

the next real rupture and make sure the other one gets ruptured so I

can get them both out and no more.

Has anyone else had the same problem with the Mentor brand? Are they

listed in the lawsuit? I am confused over all of this. Is this the

same lawsuit that is in the silicone one??

I would like to hear from someone who has had the same troubles I

have. Thanks, PJ
