2days before BA Day and chin lipo. IM so excited, nervous and thankful this is an option for me. Any advice on getting ready? TY

My surgeon changed last minute. Dr Dillon took care of me. I thought he was very kind when I first met him. The next time I saw him was before surgery. I have not seen him since! Please make sure you advocate for yourself. Coming out of the anestesia took like 1 week for me. They gave me my pain meds and everything was fine. I thought I had a good digestive system and didn’t take any stool softener. MISTAKE! It hurt more than surgery it self And It hunts me still. Bottom line don’t think you are the exception. I called Lift Body Center where I got my procedure and they send me more medicine. Unfortunately I was never ale to get more besides the first week because Dr. Dillon refused to document why I was in pain and why I need it. They told me he didn’t know me personally and he couldn’t do it. I was in soooo much pain. I am not sure if I should post those pics but I have them. He made me feel like I was asking for recreational drugs.. it Really made me sad and mad a them. All nice until you get them done and then the doc no where to be found. He never called said he would. No one follow up with me. I managed my pain with over the counter meds and tons of pomade for bruises. Please understand that they went through a management change too. I just fell through the cracks. I do recognize that I am happy I didn’t have to bother with the withdrawals of pain meds so it is a happy ending because it was more natural.
I love the staff Shelby and Nick went above and beyond. The new manager Lara is wonderful and the director Jennie is a lovely human being. I have zero complains and I am happy with the results this far but still waiting to complete healing.
Fiancé update: he loves them. But won’t compliment me at all if I don’t ask. Today he said oh you are taking them out for a stroll?
I feel so much confident in me. Not because I have something foreign in me but because i stood up for myself, I made it through some serious pain and things alone and I am still here. I feel like me 3.0

I do wonder if my friends will treat me different? I experience some back lash from someone who I never thought would criticize me for doing it. She said she never thought I would. I love proving people wrong.

Good luck in your journey!! I will be here to help because other awesome strong ladies supported me too.

Well long story short Lift Body Center was super helpful and they were able to reschedule me and find another anesthesiologist. They apologized and I understand is not their fault. If anything the way they fix this and calmed shows that they really care. Thanks to Kelly, Lara, Shelby, Heather, Marina and. Nick!
I will keep you updated.

Everyone was ready to go. My nurse again amazing and dr Kagan as well. My tummy and I were nervous but so happy! Then this man who was suppose to be a profesional came in and had a Terrible attitude. He was a man who clearly has anger issues towards females who do not take in his title or looks. I say this because He was very “friendly” i was alone with him when he asked me questions. Two mins into the questions he wants clarification on an answer he raises his voice and starts telling me how this relationship is not going to work out. He was not stable. I asked him how was that important and he said he was a doctor and knew more than me. I even apologize and he thought this was ok to keep mistreating Me. I felt harassed! He left the room to tell the nurse he won’t do my procedure. I could hear him screaming and slamming doors. I was crying in the room. I went outside and told the nurse I front of him what happened and she was kind. She got the doctor but I had to ask. I told dr Kagan he knew me and I would never be that difficult..he said he wasn’t in the room but that he would reschedule me. He said he would move things around and tried to be apologetic. I think back and i am pretty sure this man should not be anywhere around people. I would never let someone like him touch me. He is not in this profesión because he wants to help people...his true colors showed and I begged dr Kagan to never use him. The nurse who I love and she held my hand saw him interact with me one last time , how he treated me at the end. He said I couldn’t do anything to him because he is a doctor. I laughed and told him I told him I would pray for him so he can be saved one day.
