Dr was great up until actual surgery when anesthesia wasn't done correctly and he blame me. I felt the entire surgery! Staff was great though

I feel so sorry for you. When I was reading about your surgery I could hardly believe any surgeon would operate on a patient who was feeling everything and screaming in pain. Doesn't everyone say it's the lipo bits that really hurt after surgery, lipo is so invasive I can't imagine how you stood that. Maybe this is why all the other surgeons put you out? Please don't let him touch you again!

Why did you get local anesthesia?

I am absolutely speechless that you did not get a local anesthesia. I can't even imagine what that pain was like. I had lipo in 2006 and woke up a mess. I'm so sorry!

I haven't been on here in a while because frankly I hate my results. I know it takes time to see the full results... but I don't think time will fix this. My measurements are now 33-30-42, which means my butt is only 1 inch bigger than it was before surgery. WTF?!

I also have these red lines all around my belly button (ill post a pic) that look like stretch marks, but I never had stretch marks on my stomach, why would I get them now!? and no they're not lines from my garment or anything... and they're not going away!! Its disgusting. My main goal for this surgery was to get a flat stomach but now I just want to keep it covered. Its still full of lumps... hard lumps under the skin and pockets of fat all around my belly button. I know the swelling needs to go down, but these are legit fat pockets, not swelling.. and theyre horrribleeeee!!

My sides are also not even... one side is curvy and the other is just a straight line. He left a huge chunk of fat of my side that would've completely changed my shape. Now I just look ridiculous because they're different.

I feel like the only difference in my butt now is the big bubble/shelf thing at the top. Im sooooo disappointed :(

Like Ive said before, I gained weight for this surgery. I know it snowballed and I gained too much, but I looked so much better before any of this. Total waste of time and money.

Wishing I had gone to Duran....

that my sides aren't even? lol I realize I look a ton better than just two days ago.. but Im nervous that my sides are going to settle differently.

Also, just ordered this arm faja http://www.ebay.com/itm/121170426187?var=420169102407&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
for about $50 to compress my underarm fat that was lipo'd but is being pushed out the top of my garment.

Also... my friends keep bailing on taking me to my massages :/ any tips?
