The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet Tomorrow!

There was some very sad news this morning that you may have heard - an 18-year old girl died from having corrective breast surgeries in Florida.

they say she had a reaction to the Anesthesia.



I was contacted by Gloria Pan – who runs this blog - http://beautyandthebreast. org/ - which I sometimes post on.



The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet - http://www. mandjshow. com/index. php contacted her looking for young
women who had breast implants and took them out, to be guests on the show tomorrow.



The lady at the show got a hold of Kacey Long before she got to me, who is at the site www. implantsout. org – She was 19 when she got sick from saline implants and has been the face of MTV for us– being featured on a few
shows there talking about how she got sick and driving a lot of traffic to her site over the years.



They are flying Kacey out to NYC tonight to be on the show tomorrow morning, along with other guests – due to what happened to the girl in Florida.

Kacey should be mentioning the beauty and the breast blog if she can –
per Gloria’s request since she recommended her to the show, so Gloria asked me to blog about the Florida story today. This will give people something to read when they get to the site about the story they see on the news or the show.



I wrote a blog on the website here - http://beautyandthebreast. org/ called “Florida Teen Dies After Complications During Breast Surgery”.

If Kacey does get to mention the blog on the show, this will be great because they will
also see my link to my website.
As of today, I have 31,649 hits to my site – www. myimplantstory. com – so I am hoping she gets to mention the blog on the show tomorrow so that more people can go online and become more aware of the bad things associated with breast implants and the number goes up. Even if she doesn’t mention it, I am sure there will be more people googling things in the upcoming weeks.



My goal is just to get the word out. If anything, I am just really happy that Kacey gets to go on the show tomorrow and have that little voice that is so hard to be heard in a world of people not wanting to hear about the dangers of cosmetic surgeries. Her site inspired me to create my site, because it gave me hope when I was so scared and let me know that I was not alone. She has supported me via email ever since the 1st time I wrote her when I got sick – and kept in touch ever since.



So, set your Tivo’s to record Mike & Juliet tomorrow morning on Fox, and hopefully Kacey gets to talk!


Thanks & love,

Gretchen
