Left for Dead.
It’s been a year since my bbl, and only now am I truly realizing the scope of things. how neglected I was as a patient and the scope of how dangerous my post op care was. After speaking to other surgeons and nurses about what happened, I've decided to share what in my opinion was malpractice from my post op team and possibly my surgeon. I am not sure what happened in that operating room that day but here is my story.
I went to dr. Nosrati for a bbl. My pre op labs and everything were fine, I’m not a smoker or a drug user either. I went in, went to sleep and woke up with my entire body shaking uncontrollably from head to toe. Never have I ever shaken like this. I had no control over my body shaking, and this was not shaking like a little shivering, this was shaking so uncontrollably and so much that my core muscles were exhausted by the shaking yet it persisted. The nurses put a blanket over me but I took it off and told them I wasn’t cold and I couldn’t stop shaking. You could see my body shaking from across a football field. The staff did nothing, and asked no questions. I woke up in absolute agony but not because of the lipo. The pain in the treated areas from lipo and my left glute was very manageable. I woke up with my right glute muscle completely seized. The staff in the room seemed unbothered by my shaking and very loud moaning in pain. I was biting down on the sheet after they rolled me over, trying to get through this pain in my muscle. I mentioned my leg, only to be dismissed and put into a car. The entire ride to the hotel the pain in my seized muscle did not subside. I wore all my garments, my caretaker massaged my legs, I remained hydrated and walked around as much as I could. I followed instructions to a t, however the seizing muscle did not go away. Over weeks it did slowly subside, but for the entire first 7 days, I felt the pain of a seized muscle 24/7. I can only compare it to waking up in the middle of the night with one of those horrible calf cramps, however there was no break from this pain. I told the doctors the next day, over the phone, in the middle of the night on a help line, in person.. no one at any point understood either enough about medicine or enough English simultaneously to see what was happening. I had edema, I had rhabdo symptoms, fat embolism symptoms, and enough symptoms to point to many various serious complications and at no point was any action taken to diagnose the issue, push the issue up the chain to someone that could understand, or treat it. For over 7 days I walked around in a walker, I could not stand for more than 2 minutes. When I had to stand I’d completely dissociate, going into this trance just trying to remain upright through this constant pain The seizure did not fully dissipate until weeks later.
When I went home, I went home with my drain tube still in. Three weeks later I was told I could remove it. I removed stitches and began to pull and twist. It would not come out. I could see my stomach dipping into my body following the end of the tube as I pulled. I felt great pain doing this so I called, twice to ask what to do. I explained it was not coming out and I had been trying for now two days. The nurse who did not speak enough English to understand my medical issue told me to just pull it out after I explained many times and to multiple people that it was not coming out. The phone call concluded when I said so what do I do and the nurse said “okay”. I knew at that point that while I do not care if you speak fluent English or no English at all, my medical team was not lingually equipped to treat me. That was the last time I spoke to any staff at new life. I went to the er, costing plenty out of pocket to handle this issue. When they took it out, I was given oxygen and a towel to bite as I felt and heard it rip out of my stomach. As it came out, I could see a five inch long piece of scar tissue growing inside of the tube and I knew it wasn’t just me. I would’ve had to have been on copious amounts of hard drugs and mentally very unwell to rip that out myself. It felt like a red hot poker was inserted into my abdomen.
Visibly my results are fine, but I hope dr. Nosrati sees this and can take some action as I could have easily died had my body taken that path while being dismissed by staff after telling them about the severity of my complications.
It’s my belief that I simply was very lucky to have come out with my life and body intact.
