Finally Taking This Poison Out!!! - Aventura, FL

Hi! I am doing well, thank you! Can I just tell you the anticipation is the worst part of this. The day of surgery I was out of it so hat may have been the worst day but not as bad as I thought. So far I have not taken any pain pills because I haven’t had any pain whatsoever. I am beyond pleased with Dr. G! There is no doubt in my mind HE IS THE BEST at removing foreign material from our body.

That’s great!! I’m glad your ok , how do the drains feel? How long did he say you need them? How’s your scar? He cut both sides? I would love to see a pic if you don’t mind.

Hi, did Insurance cover your surgery? If not how much was it total?

Thank you! Do you have any tips in order to make my recovery process easier? Are you feeling better 100%?

The recovery is hard and long, but doable. I would recommend staying off your butt as much as possible and taking it very very easy after the surgery, atleast until your drains are removed. Also I took probiotic, and drunk protein, green tea, and vitamin C daily to help with the healing process. Also wear your garment faithfully and make sure you get a really tight one, because after a few days it will loosen up. I’m not 100% yet, but close. I feel good inside, but ofcourse it was s major surgery so it will take a while to heal.

HI you did your surgery in June and still not 100%?? How long can’t you lay on your butt?

How long is the recovery? And when do they take the drains out? Could you go back to work a month after?

Dr. Gallerani told me I will have the drains for approx. 3 weeks and wants me to stay off my bum for 4 weeks.

Nope..... this procedure is not easy. To completely heal it will take atleast a year. I was able to lay on my butt as soon as both of drains were gone, which was 2 1/2 months.

Everyone body is different. I was driving at 2 to 3 weeks, which I shouldn’t been. I don’t work, but I would think after a month you would be ready to go to work as long as it’s nothing too strenuous. That’s my opinion

oh wow! You had your drains that long??? Did you have it in your muscle? I probably wouldn’t do reconstruction till after a year anyway. My swelling didn’t go away till a year after I had my breast done. So I would want to be sure I’m healed before I put my body through more trauma.

3 weeks.....That’s sounds about right for you.... my case was way severe than yours

Well I’ll tell oh what, If yours was more severe than mine, I am definitely happy you are on your way to a full recovery.

Yes that long! No I didn’t have it in my muscle. It just was a lot, 13 pounds! Yes 1 year to 2 years, I think would be good to wait for reconstruction. Who knows we may not need it at that time.

Thanks! You’re in good hands, trust me..... you’ll be fine! Good luck

Thank you!

I have just had a consult with Gallerani and I’m so nervous!

Did u get surgery for removal or bbl?

Thank you for your advice and well wishes! How long ago did you do have the surgery? How’s your scar? I am getting a lift so I know my scar will be across the top of my butt.

I got mine June 2017. The scar is right at the middle of the butt. It doesn't look good but honestly doesn't bother me. What it bothers me is the indentations. That's why I am getting the BBL in may.

Hi . I was told you can’t do bbl after removal? Is that true

Yes you can. You just have to give your body enough time to heal. Most doctors like to wait at least 6 months before reconstruction.

Yes you can. I think is the safest way to get reconstruction. Call Dr del Vecchio, he can see you here in fl

Hi there! Thanks for posting this information. Can you provide any insight on the level of pain you were in the day of surgery and the days after. What type of assistance did you need & for now long. Ive scheduled my surgery for April 27th & I’m starting to plan my stay in Miami. Just trying to get a feel for how long I’ll need someone there with me. Also any recommendations on where you guys are staying for the surgery? I know Dr G gave me a list of local hotels but I’m thinking about going the Air B&B route so any info would be appreciated

Thank you so much!

Can I see ur pics ?

DR Mir takes United insurance they say get a job at Starbucks or Home Depot for two months to get the insurance. He is in New York or Beverly Hills, it needs to be cut out to get the most out that u can.
