still in so much pain

well to add to the truth. i now have adhesions that are very severe that were cause by Dr Cardenas. My surgery was Aug 7th and I'm still having to have several expensive procedures to help the problem. When i first told her I was having problem she said i had a seroma, come back to tijuana and for 400 she would fix me...Ct scans don't lie. she did and this was never suppose to happen with a board certified plastic surgeon. and this was my first surgery out side of a c-section 17 years ago. She did several things wrong and now I am paying for it. I posted the results to my ct scan on my profile and her response. smdh at the lies people will tell. and when I posted an open form question to any Md about the results of the ct I got no response....Lucky i have found a great doctor who is working with me to correct her mistakes, btw i also failed to mention my belly button started having problem swelling and scar tissue and My surgeon can not even correct it because she did not allow enough of my umbilical cord to correct. My fat injection was done high and my butt is still sore. She can have her staff post as many fake profiles as she wants but I saw the patients she worked on prior to me and was disappointed. i should have ran but I was already in Tijuana and tried to give her the benefit without doubt....now I'm still trying to heal and recover

post op 5 mos...this shit still hurts

Ok I am seeing a surgeon at home and he is treating me for several adhesion...I know this is suppose to be rare and not happen but it did. I'm pissed to so bad it is not even funny...the Adhesion developed due to surgery. I don't know what the hell was done to me because this was not suppose to happen and Dr. Cardanas wanted me to be treated for a seroma...Guess what Dr. I don't have one. Its going to take a lot of ultrasonic treatments for me to even get better. I've had 2 so far and with a little improvement. I read one Dr on realself berated a lady about how adhesions could not have been cause by a board certified plastic surgeon. But let me tell you they happen to me. I'm praying every day the feeling in my entire abd comes back. I am yet to have any feeling in that area and my area in my groin comes and goes. I'm taken suppliments to increase circulation in my body and did I say my belly button keloided and was so tight it caused stretch markes to that area . There is still also painful swelling in the incision area. ladies please think long and hard when you choose you Drs. This is going to cost me a lot to repair..I told the dr i never want anyone else to cut on me. both he and are trying to understand the incsion all away around my but for just an extended tummy tuck...Smdh...Lord please help me.

10 days

Lord help me I'm not ready.

It's been 5 mos post op come Jan7th and the pain I have is not even funny. I still can't go without my compression garment for longer then 15 mins. I have large adhesions which I message daily. I also have developed keloids in the drain site and incision area. I have been referred to a surgeon here in the usa and I won't return to tijuana. The tone I get from this email is not very kind or caring and that is what I got when I was there. She was very indifferent. I have a second profile on here but it was under Yily's name and it could not be changed. So I made this pofile to rate Dr. Cardenas as fair as possible. I've had so many people contact me and tell me they have had the same problems as me, but I was made to believe most of my problems was my fault. However cat scans and x rays don't lie. this is my story and it still hurts.
