Re: NY Times article is out!!

January 17, 2008

Wonderful Krista!

I see this reporter used alot of our favorite doctors in her

article....Dr. Huang, Dr. Kolb, Dr. Melmed. I just wish she would have

talked more about the illness factor.

But overall, it did give adequate warning about the need for more

surgery. Women need to know that implants are not forever, and they

will need to spend ALOT more money once they've made the decision to

have this surgery the first time.

Good job!

Patty- I felt the same way. She did ask me about my illness, but not

a ton of questions. I was disapointed that that wasn't included in

the article, but I guess they just decided to do the article on the

fact that implants are not lifetime devices. I guess, for now that is

one step in the right direction for us!

Love, Krista

Oh, honey, he loves you, and he will be sad for you. I have to call him, because they have refused to do an MRI. He might have some ideas, because he told us that I must be cleaned out, or I will never get well. He has all of my medical records. We think that he is writing a book...not sure though.

Honey, may I tell Joyce A, because she loves you too...who could not love you! Joyce and I have been communicating back and forth...I must write to her too to let her know that they have refused to do the MRI.

Sending love and support always...Lea and

woman have them removed. Hopefully soon we will see articiles about

Thanks Cherie. I do not feel at all like a celebrity. But, what a

thing to be in the NY Times for, huh? Augh! A girl that I work with

showed up in my cube this morning... " I saw you in the NY Times this

morning, " I was like " auuuu, ahhhh, uhhhh, ohhhhh......yeahhh,

realllyyy???..... " :-)

The picture is awful. I was telling PH that they wanted it to be a

serious shot, no smiles or anything. Not only do I look so sad, but

it's like right up my nose! Oh well! The important thing is that the

article is out, one more step in the right direction for us. I wish

they would have written more on the implant illness, they did ask me

about my illness, but I guess they decided not to write about that.

Maybe too much controversy???

Hey Krista,

Good for you!! I'm glad to see articles like this are being

written. While they didn't address our illnesses, they still are

getting the word out that these things aren't forever and that it's

an expensive proposition.

Patty,

I did like the article, like you wished they would of spoke of our sickness... Or do they all fear a Lawsuit... Makes me cringe... It is so sad... Once again Dr. Kolb made a good remark talking of all the Goo (silicone) now that might scare off a customer, who knows... Well thank god they said they needed replaced at 10 years, that may save some lives...I didn't know Dr. Huand did the transfers from fat? Well I guess a good story, just wish we could be taken serious about our health issues...

God Bless,

~Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Sis, this is wonderful. Krista is our hero and she is beautiful as well. I read the article in bed this afternoon, and it is perfect.

Honey, how are you doing? We hope that you are feeling better, and it was so nice to see your name.

Love you....Lea

I was at the hair salon last night flipping through magazines and

happened to come across one of the Natrelle ads that Natasha Singer

referenced in Miss Celebrity Krista's article. Had I not been

through a year of hell due to implant illness, I could see how these

ads might tempt me into getting implants. I mean they make it sound

so casual and bascially equate getting a boob job to going out and

picking up a pair of shoes or gallon of milk! So sad for all these

women who are being brainwashed on a daily basis. Here's one of the

ads although I don't find it as persuasive as the one I saw in the

salon...I couldn't find that one online. I worry so much for the

women who give into the pressures. They're risking their lives!! - PH

Krista,

I'm thrilled you were willing to be interviewed - and that you were featured in the NY Times! . . .

I know a least one other woman who may be featured . . . there are probably more. . .

Perhaps they are tackling one aspect at a time . .. This time it was cost. . .

I'm sure you saved thousands of women from getting breast implants with that one article!

Thanks so much,

Rogene

January 18, 2008

Krista,

I have yet to hear anyone who has been interviewed feel that their entire story was told! . . .

I guess, for political correctness, they must try to balance stories . . . But the implant debacle has gone way beyond sanity. . .It's time the media stood up to be counted as advocates for public health!

Hugs,

Rogene

Boy, your implanting PS, sounds like

a winey little wimp, he tucked his tail

under and hid in his office......showing

a huge sign that he has forgotten his

hippocratic oath , to first do no harm.....

as well as his ignorance, and lack of

respect for others, lack of manners,

and definately lack of expertise ! !

He needs a review on the site below, you

can go to your state and town to make a

I have not talked with my original PS since the last time i went in

to ask him about my symtpoms and if it could all be related. When i

asked about doing en bloc he got very short with me and said that if

i wanted them removed it would cost 5000.00 but he refused to remove

capusules and i was overreacting then he abruptly left the room.

Last night i received an advertisment in the mail from his office

that he can now perform breast augmentation through the belly button

leaving no scars on the breast. I told my husband " imagine that, all

the sickness with none of the scars, How exciting! " He made it sound

like if women did not jump on this they would be nuts and the sad

part is if i had not know better i probably woul have looked into it

more becuase the advertising was done so well. I wonder how many

women this doctor is going to infect with his new line of

advertising.
