So depressed, mycobacterium infection

WORTH IT$10,299
3 months after surgery, i felt a hard lump on my right butt cheek, keep getting bigger. Ended up in ER, had cultured and was mycobacterium (still pending on what type). Now i have to see infectious disease and be on antibiotics for months. I feel two more spots that feel sore and i go for MRI tomorrow to see if they are abscesses as well. I love my results but i am so scared right now. Has anyone had this? What is your recovery?

He was very realistic. He was honest and I felt very comfortable. I've only had a small amount of interaction with him but he told me everything I needed to know.

I had mycobacterium in the breast its not a good thing to get but you will get by . Medication will treat
Omg I am so sorry to hear I hope you recover fast. I had no idea things could pop up months later
Oh no! How does that happen? Just an infection starts and then gets worse or something?
What other symptoms do u have?
No other symptoms. Just hard spot that came up and was tender.

3 weeks post op

Whew, I'm not gonna lie, it's been rough. I'm getting massages twice weekly and they feel better! I'm exhausted still. I'm back at work and I'm tired by mid day. Not being able to sit is getting super old. I haven't slept well in weeks. This garment is awful and I'm hot as hell. I'm not in pain but my flanks burn randomly. I had one night I had intense itching that drove me crazy. Now for the positive side: my results look good so far. The fat transfer hasn't been awful but the liposuction has been rough! This garment is the pits.

Thanks for the update! Is the swelling subsiding pretty well?
The itching is hell but it means your healing, and hey YOU LOOK GOOD lol
You look amazing!!
It really does suck sleeping. I feel like I feel better on pain killers when I sleep but I really hate taking them. I went through almost all of them which is scary because I originally couldn't understand why he gave us so many! I am already ready for my 4th garment which I cannot believe. How many have you had so far? Do you have the butt in? Do you like it better? I rolled up this thick towel at my desk and it works better than the boppy pillow.
You look very good. Could you post pic front to see how he work around belly boton? I think he did very good you look like another person. I see your booty was nice before surgery too

I am back home!! I finally pooped (day 9????)... Wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be! I am hating my garment but I know I have to wear it.. It is sooo hot in it and the foam pad things are like insulation.. Both drains out and barely any drainage from site.. No pain (off pain meds), just uncomfortable mainly because of faja. Swelling is going down as the bruises are healing.
