So disappointed...

Well, I'm about 4 1/2 months out, and have only gone down 1-2 cup sizes. So disappointed I could just cry looking at my breasts-they are still droopy and now they look wider and they still bounce when I walk down the stairs and its still a pain to work out. I'm working out 4 days a week for at least 60 min each workout and that's not helping either-plus eating super healthy and keeping track of all my calories, portions, sodium, everything. And I've gained over 10 lbs..what the hell???? I'm only down to an F cup and I have had two other PS tell me, after seeing my OR notes from my PS who did the BR, that it was nowhere near enough to take me down to what I had wanted. I want to strangle my PS. He said he would re-do it, but I don't trust him to even touch me again, so later this year when its been close to a year (Jan) I am going to pay someone else again to take more off. I am so disgusted with this PS-nothing is as he said it would be, and he even admitted that my expectations were realistic. I ma having a really hard time recovering from surgeries that didn't even meet my expectations. what a waste!!

Disappointed and ntot going back
BragurlMay 8, 2014
I am very disappointed in my results to this point, and follow up has been atrocious. I had to contact them at my 3 month mark-no one even bothered to see how it was going. I still feel absolutely enormous, and quite honestly, don't particularly want Dr. Jugenburg doing any more work on me. I feel like someone with his reputation should have gotten it right the first time. I have only gone down a little, and the lipo he did hasn't made hardly any change. He just keeps repeating the volume amount he took off and doesn't address the aesthetics of it-after I sent him at least a dozen high quality photos from a bunch of angles. He refuses to actually answer a question, and insists on me flying to Toronto to see him in order for him to evaluate-not what I was told their follow up process was with out of town patients-I was told they could do it via Skype or email photos. He provided me with my OR docs and said I could take them to a PS here at home for a second opinion instead, which I will be doing at the end of the month. For what it would cost me to fly myself and someone else back to Ontario, plus hotel, food and incidentals, I might as well stay here to get things fixed. I am also very uncomfortable with the thought of Dr. J. doing more work on me, and the thought of going through this process again with such terrible aftercare is something I don't want to do. So I won't be going back to him. He got my money and that seems to be all that he cares about. He doesn't seem to actually care about the results or satisfaction of his patients.

sorry you are dealing with so much disappointment and frustration, hope the 2nd opinion is in your favour

This is very worrisome. I am sorry for the bad experiences you have had and wonder why a reputable surgeon does not at least offer to compensate financially? You are culpable for the amount of a new surgery?

Do or Have you taken any of the BROMELAIN Capsules ? They have pretty much Saved me - for the Swelling. It is almost a Miracle ! They come in 500 MG Capsules and they are from the Health Food Store ( Which I never even Went to One - but Found it thru the Yellow Pages ) and take them 3 to 4 times a day BETWEEN Meals. It has helped me SO MUCH ! Peediewife told me about them ! SO GLAD that she DID !

Hello,
Yes, I take bromelain every day. My naturopath recommended it for me. I also do dry brushing and lymphatic drainage massages twice a week.

I just went to my PS today and had 450cc of fluid drained from one breast and 275 cc from other, asked my dr about the Bromelain and he said they did not work , but get them if I wanted....so there you go...OMG, my breasts finallly shrunk...yeah

Bromelain totally works-but its more something a naturopath would suggest, not a Western style doctor-I'm fortunate to have both in my office. But the two different types of medicines don't always agree on things. I know its working for me, as well as the other homeopathic remedies she suggested.

I also take Arnica in pill form-they are tiny and you just dissolve them under your tongue. You should be able to get it at any health food store with homeopathic remedies. I have noticed the biggest different in swelling since I started taking that. My lymph massage therapist recommended it-she was taking it for her broken foot and it worked amazingly. SO here is what I take:
-Bromelain pills (or you can each a TON of pineapple..lol)
-Lymphatic Drainage massage
-Arnica gel or cream for exterior bruising
-Arnica pills for interior bruising
-Lots of water and protein
This is what has made the biggest difference-I have found a big difference in swelling over the past week. I am just at the 11 week mark-so next week is 3 months and I will take a new set of measurements and pics.
