So when did you have surgery? we have asked for updates. You just kinda disappeared
Any updates? I hope your doing well dear. Would love to hear from you! ❤️
In terrible pain. Right hip area is effecting my job duties, I’ve been ready to kill myself. Not only do I physically look like a freak but the pain is unimaginable. I have a huge thick area of scar tissue . At Francis hospital should be shut down. One nipple now hurts . STAY AWAY from him. Because when to goes wrong . It becomes your fault. He takes no responsibility. He’s never responded or called me. My option is to have the procedure done again but last time it cost my husband and I over $30,000. With surgery and being off work for 7 months. I have no hope but to live in pain.

St Francis hospital and dr shell (the butcher)

Still will not refund surgery fee from st Francis hospital or dr shell. Be aware . Suicide looks better every day . Dr shell destroyed me physically and financially. No hope . I'm a freak .

I'm so sorry you have had thoughts of suicide. It is not your fault what happened. Just know your life is worth it you have overcame so much through the past years.

Don't beat yourself up lady. It is most definitely not your fault. You had no way of knowing that it was going to go the way it did. I'm sure if you knew you wouldn't have done it. Maybe it's time to take it to the news so you can get your money back and have someone fix you. I'd highly recommend my doctor. He is amazing.
So sorry you have done through this and sending you blessings and healing vibes . Have you thought about reaching out to the tv show botched? They specialize in this sort of thing . Wishing you the best. Gng
I am so sorry you had to go through with this. please dont give up try try try god is good. Also this may have been because there were no drains to collect the fluid that built up. That fluid pushed through the incision. I had mine done two weeks ago and i still have my drain in due to fluid output being too high. I live in Maine if you are able to contact Plastic and hand in south portland maine they may have a doctor that could help for cheap i know its a travel but please dont give up!!! good luck!! Contacting news and botched would also be a good idea.
