Has anyone gone into shock after liposuction??

By babyraf on 04 Jan 2013

I had lipo 7 months ago, I went into shock after it, the clinic were a little vague with me about it. When I saw the doctor who performed the procedure the next morning he said it was because the I.v drip wasn't working but I distinctly remember the nurses having to change the bedclothes as they were blood soaked at least twice.i was put on a drip of volumes which apparently is for extreme blood loss. I am having a TT next week and I am worried it may happen again. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I'm so sorry about your experience. I came out of surgery convulsing. I never recovered. I'm not kidding. The surgeon maimed me.

My advice to you is to store your own blood beforehand. Also take iron supplements to get your blood count up. I had the lipo 4 days ago and my hemoglobin has dropped way too low. They are making me eat lots of protein so that I dont have to have the transfussion. Eat lots of protein before your surgery too! Be careful!

Thank you so much for that ... I had the corrective surgery on my tummy in Prague 10 days ago and all is well so far,apart from a little seepage from the middle of the scar. I was perfect after surgery this time but I think a lot of it was how professional the clinic was in Prague.i had been taking vits for some time and I'm a very health eater so i think that went in my favour.I hope u recover from ur lipo ok, and u don't bruise too much, u sound like u know wat ur doing !! Happy healing!
