I am doing so much better. I was told it would be at least 6 months before I would close up and I would have a thick horrible scar. My new surgeon healed me in less than 6 weeks. He even said I was healing too fast lol. I'm just so happy to be done with this and I healed physically now I'm just trying to emotionally healed. I'll never get an apology from him but he made me feel like I was crazy and I was the one doing something wrong. Shame on him and his nurses. Nurses are supposed to advocate for patients and they would NOT listen to me.

OMG. That is crazy. I would have contacted every media outlet there is. To spread the word this is gross negligence.

Wow! I am shocked and so angry you were treated this way. I hope you seek legal help. He needs, at the very least, to be reported to the medical board. I'm so happy though that you found a good doctor. Lots of hugs to you!

No I researched him very well and he has a very good reputation. By the 3rd surgery he was so done with me. I feel like it wasn't healing like he thought I should and just cut me back open and let me heal from the inside out. I would never think the doctor would be allowed to send someone home within a couple hours after that surgery with no antibiotics pain, or nausea meds. My poor home healt nurse had no idea how to put the wind vac on such a large wound. She called him and he told her to do it the way she felt it needed to be done! That was it for me. He was playing with my life. He can keep the 10,000 I paid him all together... Karma will come back. I just hope he doesn't do another patient this way and treat the with zero sympathy. I'm so happy to have this behind me. Hopefully next summer my stomach will be a little better and I can enjoy myself :-)

Terrible experience. At my initial consultation he is very confident and is excited which makes you excited and tells you what great results you will have. Well 2 months & 3 surgeries later I ate the money, fired him and now my non healing surgical wound is almost completely healed w/in 2 weeks w/new MD

I'm sorry you went through that! If you were a rare case, he should have treated you better...you needed better medical attention. If he couldn't handle it, he should have transferred your care to someone else.

It's not about $$ it suing Hun it's about gettin treated as a human being, I would seek some legal action or report this so it doesn't happen to someone else.

I am speechless, that's awful medical practice! I am two weeks post op and I don't care what anyone says this surgery is scary and does hurt. Women in general take on too much. We need to just relax and heal in peace. I wish you the best going forward. Very sorry, no one should ever be treated like this.
