The decision to have this procedure was the biggest mistake of my life.
I am five weeks post and still in pain, and cannot put on any of my clothing other than sweat pants. I had my abdomen, love handles, hips, saddle bags, bra bulge, and my neck done. I cannot look up or to my left because of the nerve damage in my neck, and My body measurements have not decreased but increased.
The day of my procedure I was of good spirits and looking forward to my appointment. After three hours of pain and butchery where I cried, but was told 'it's not that bad'. I was forced out the back door with the garbage in my blood stained clothing.
My stomach feels like it's being ripped from my body with every movement, much like what you would imagine the 'feel' of velcro being ripped open. My thighs and hips feel as if I've been beaten with a 2X4. I would give anything to have the 'bra bulge' back so I can sit in a chair without the stabbing pains in my back along with the same 'bulge' I had post-op. I cannot sleep on my sides or stomach, and I have to put pillows under my legs to ease the pressure on my lower back/hips.
I have yet to be contacted by my Doctor. I have been to the 'clinic' twice since, but only to see a 'nurse' and another Doctor that had no clue who I was or what I was going through.
For the love of all that is holy do NOT have this procedure done by these people. The only thing lighter and slimmer in my world is my bank account.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know how you're doing. I hope things improve for you soon! I'll be thinking happy thoughts for you.
In my opinion I have been physically hurt and financially burned. I shall continue to let people know of my progress. I would not wish this upon anyone.
Hi Maureen -- Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing?
Also, I forgot to mention earlier that our lipo forum is a great place to connect with other patients, so please check it out if you get a chance. Hope everything's okay.
Thank you for your concern. My thighs have started to bruise again. My left thigh is noticeably smaller but my right has no change with the exception of an indentation creating a not so flattering silhouette. From day to day I have no idea how my stomach will feel or look. I still have that 'detached numb' feeling and the skin on my stomach is cool to the touch. Large, hard lumps have formed on my hips and are a bit sore. I try to massage daily but some days it hurts too much. My neck is still 'tight' hindering my movements and a few striations have appeared. I am uncomfortable without wearing the garment.
This is not how I wanted to spend the Holiday season. Biggest mistake of my life.

Oh no! I'm so sorry. :( I was really hoping things would have gotten better by now. So, if you don't mind me asking, what's the next step for you?
Hi MaureenW - I am so sorry about your outcome. Have you considered going to another plastic surgeon, that's board certified, to look at your results and potentially help you with the pain?
