Hi all, Looking to have Vaser lipo done this...
nellie79May 20, 2015
Hi all,
Looking to have Vaser lipo done this summer. I have researching and looking into clinics. I have been reading all the pros and cons and trying to find a good doctor and clinic. I am in Ireland and there is not that much options. I would not travel for it. My questions are is there anyone from Ireland on here who can recommend a clinic or has had it done.
I have had one consultation so far and was told there is not enough fat on the Belly area but there is on the flanks. This is my problem area which has always made me look wider and more so after my child. I really want it done but I am Afraid I will pick the wrong doctor or something will go wrong. Any advise would be appreciated. Thx

Mid 30's Stubborn Fat. Having Vaser
nellie79July 22, 2015
Hi all. So I've finally booked a date to have Vaser lipo on the flank area. Wanted tummy aswell but the doctor said wasn't a good candidate meaning the wasn't enough tummy fat (which is good I guess) I am very nervous and hoping I am doing the right thing. I have been training hard but can't shift it. A lot of my family think I'm crazy but I've been considering this for almost a year now. I will keep you updated. And try get some pics up. Wish me luck.

Clinic called today saying the doctor was sick and may have to reschedule my app for me. After I organised child care and lifts. I am starting to feel a bit uneasy with this clinic as they seem very unorganised. Hoping it's just me feeling nervous and just thinking that way. Not sure though

Disgusted and annoyed
nellie79July 28, 2015
I am still very confused and upset with how I was dealt with as a customer by the clinic.
I met doctor Roy twice and then finally decided to proceed with vaser lipo treatment on flanks and was given a date for Monday the 27th. Only to be called on Thursday to be told he was sick and would not be able to go ahead on the Monday. Which was completely fine however I was not told when I could book back in only that they would call me back on Monday. No call on Monday so I waited until today. I received a call from the secretary telling me that as I had requested information from the doctor and asked for it in email that that doctor Roy felt there was no patient/doctor trust!!!
Well to say I am annoyed is an understatement as what I requested is well within my right as a patient/customer who would be paying a large amount for an invasive treatment. All I was looking for was some reassurance as you should as a doctor and clinic completely understood.
Now I don't know what is going on there, but it is completely unprofessional and to just decide to not see a patient because they requested more information leads me to believe that you are the ones not confident in your ability or hiding something. I plan to get to the bottom of this.
I am still so annoyed. I was scheduled off work, and organised lifts and childminder, and now I am just left with nothing.

I should also add that I tried to call them to speak to the doctor several times today, and the phone just kept on ringing out. I still cant believe they said that they refuse me as a patient, when all I did was ask a few additional questions via email, and asked for some reassurance.
July 29, 2015
Omg! This same identical story happened to me. I was due to see dr alberto giuseppe in july18 and because I asked a question they cancelled insisting on a reschedule and another re consult which so far no one has called me to book! I really just want my money back. I too had childcare and trains booked which I missed out on. Sucks I think we should try and get most of our monies back:-(
July 29, 2015
I'm sorry this happy to you too. They left me a voicemail today saying that we are sorry this happened but the doctor still stands by what he said. And then they said oh by the way with a certain medication you are taking we couldn't go ahead. This is the question I asked last week and why they seemed annoyed I asked questions. I think the clinic is now backtracking trying to cover up their mistakes. Still so annoyed. I have asked for my fees back. Still nothing. I won't let it go. Hope you do the same.
July 29, 2015
It's a toughie to get funds back. They have strict t's and c's. I may just stick and go ahead . The traumas of vanity aye when greedy people are involved....
July 29, 2015
It's tough alright. But I should have seen the big warning signs! Wouldn't not answer emails, only phone me to answer questions. Well I'm happy now I did not get anything done with this clinic. Let me know how it goes for you ok. ☺️
July 30, 2015
No of course they haven't. They did not bother responding to that. All I got was a voicemail saying oh the doctor thought you were on a lower dose of your medication so he wouldn't do it anyway. They are making up stuff now. I'm furious. What did the clinic you went to say?? Where do you live?
July 30, 2015
So on that basis surely they should just offer to cancel and give you your money back? I'm just gonna go ahead and hope for the best. Otherwise I stand to lose thousands. They also only accept a cancellation in writing....
July 30, 2015
Nellie all I can say is thank goodness he was sick, otherwise you would have turned up and then been cancelled or even worse you may have had the procedure and if there were any problems they would have blamed your meds. Also he sounds like a terrible doctor.
July 30, 2015
You had a lucky escape. It is an invasive procedure and you are well within your rights to need reassurance via phone, email, conversation and any other method you need. I'm in shock at the arrogance and attitude. But think it may have been him back tracking once he realised that he hadn't given you the correct info in the first place. But still.... Just tell the truth and apologise!!! I'm utterly disgusted, but glad he didn't get the chance to really damage you.
And by the way as someone on the other side... Who is still recovering... If my results looked as good as you do now, I would be happy. X

Hi there, thanks for you reply. The whole situation has made me question getting anything done! I'm here in Ireland and there is not much choice over here. And thanks for the nice complement I have been working out over a year and the side area and back just won't go no matter what I do. I am working hard. Just want the last push and a bit more shape. What did you have done yourself? How at you feeling?
August 3, 2015
I had upper and lower abs, bra roll and flanks, but you really wouldn't know, as I am still bigger than you and have muffin tops and bra roll etc. I could workout harder and eat healthier but I used to be a real heavy duty gym user, but was too lean and felt like it was aging me. Then I had an op and couldn't train for a while, and then work was manic so I stopped going... and put on lots of weight, but really liked my bum for the first time ever. Hence wanting to lose my gut, but not really lose a lot of weight. Now I go a few times a week, but a lot more casually.
I started off happy with expectations of a great result... but 3 months on, £6000+ poorer, still not fully healed, scarred, lumpy and not noticably thinner... I'm really not happy.
Not that your experience will be like mine, there are many happy people... but just don't rush it. I partily chose my doctor as he could do it in the time scale I wanted so I would look better in a bikini this summer... Big mistake and major fail!!!

My situation is similar. I only have the next few weeks quiet at work and then it is back to work full time and my daughter will be back to school. So like you time is an issue for me. I have met another surgeon and had a consultation. I'm due in tomorrow for bloods and fitting. I'm still let's say 80/20 about getting anything done now. I have terrible thoughts of what could happen and the worst case scenarios going through my head! I have a child so i want to be safe. He seems great and very honest and made me feel really comfortable when I met him. I am only going for the side area. He wanted to do back roll etc. but just said no. I just want a smoother waist and I will work on the rest myself. I just think I now need that kick and motivation to work hard myself. I feel I'm in my 30s now and want to be happy with what I see in the mirror.
July 30, 2015
Oh noooo please do not let them away with that! I only paid my consultation fees and I'm annoyed at that I can imagine how you feel. Keep the pressure on them.
July 30, 2015
I wouldn't have minded just losing the holding fee which is £500 for my stupidity but now I stand to lose £1500 (and only refunded £2000) is it better that than risk a bad job? There's no way il get %100 back, I was apprehensive before and got talked into it by them calling incessantly! Then they got me- this has to be the dumbest thing I've ever done; :(
July 30, 2015
They have it written in the terms and conditions...about cancellation fees. Although this would've been by passed had I not paid at all..
July 30, 2015
Oh no. That is so unfair. I only paid consultation fees. But I still want that money back. Are you going to go somewhere else?,
July 31, 2015
How can I go somewhere else when even getting the £3600 is gonna be a pain?! It's just way too stressful and to be honest there's a chance the work will turn out alright and I can be over and done with and be bikini ready by next year... All I can say is Your very lucky they screwed up before they got most of your money... Very lucky!
July 31, 2015
Ok I've looked into it and I stand to lose a couple hundred pounds if I cancel, I think I'm better off doing that for the sake of my sanity. As I haven't seen any "good" work from him and I'm extremely anxious and apprehensive. So far I've only seen "ok " work and some bad stuff. I'm happy to lose a few hundred rather than go ahead regretting my decision for a life time.... Sensible or what?
July 31, 2015
I think you are dead right. You need confidence in the person you are having it done by. And they have done nothing to reassure you at all. Definitely the right decision
August 31, 2015
Don't do it. I've had it done and not much difference. I'm a size 8 with little bits of fat. The most noticeable area is stomach that's great- everywhere else waste of money
