How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Complications
Well I have been fainting a lot... Most of the fainting occurred while showering... Luckily my mom was there.... This is normal from what I have been to... It usually takes about 40 seconds to come back... React... But you'll remain weak for 3-4 minutes... You feel weak... hot and cold at the same time... you sweat... and at times you start shaking uncontrollably... What's recommended is to drink juice with lots of sugar as that will help bring your blood pressure up... This could be because your blood pressure goes down and/or because anemia may be present if this is the case you need to check it out to disqualify this... Or to have a blood transfusion... Better safe than sorry
Also, I began having bad headaches about a week and a half after surgery... Pain pills wouldn't help... I went into the clinic... After speaking to the male nurse Sergio he brought the anesthesiologist inn... He said that it was possible that a back nerve which connected with the brain had been damaged when they gave me the epidural before surgery which was given to avoid pain and so that I wouldn't wake up in mid surgery... This was causing the headaches... To fix this they had to inject anesthesia on my back while on a fetal position which let me tell you was so f***** painful!!!! My god!!!! They also had to take out blood from my arm to inject it into my back and seal it... :( this is the one moment when I questioned myself... And did say... What have I done to myself... I did cry my but off... I was told it was very important I didn't move because there was a needle on my back and it wouldn't be good... I didn't move... But I began shaking like never before once they were done.. They had me lay down until I felt better... The headaches did stop but the back pain was awful... It's gotten better and almost back to normal lipo pain...

Compression Garments
I did not wake up from Sx with a garment on like many of my RS buddies... I actually did not have a garment until 5 days after Sx... But it was only for my arms and upper back... I was told that they do not give the body compression garment until drains are removed... Which made sense to me because otherwise the drains would be pushed inn.... I will obtain mine tomorrow and hope it helps me with my posture and with the swelling... I'm excited
Drains
Drains are not at all painful... 3 drains were placed... 2 of them for my stomach and one for my back... They were placed on the incision site of the TT which I loved... 2 of the drains were removed at the 2 week mark... The last drain will be removed at 3 weeks which will be tomorrow... (If you are worried about the pain when they are pulled out.... DON'T!!! It is soooo not painful) you feel so much better and free to move around without worrying about taking them with you... Or pulling one of them out... I know I was very concerned About the pain... You have nothing to worry about!!!
