Body looks nice
I'm now 12 days post op, Dr Rodriguez did a good job sculpting my body but not so good of a job when I came down to me being sick after the surgery, I developed a really large Seroma that formed a pocket on the left side of my stomach, he drained my stomach on this past Tuesday and by Friday that fluid doubled was back and a pocket was formed, he never informed me of the possibility of a
Packet forming, he just said to keep pressure on my abd which I did but clearly wasn't enough. I had been really upset and stressed for day, ya see the two incisions at the bottom of my stomach that were left open so I could self drain, well one closed up early even with me having massages and And with my compression garment I couldn't avoid it/them closing up, I feel like not using a drain is very negligent, because if your skin heals fast then
Your just [RS bleep] outta luck and then your stuck with a Seroma smh anyways, I needed up going to another plastic surgeon who was GOD SENT because Most surgeons will not touch you unlesss they performed your surgery. WELL after getting several
NO's I finally got a YES from a doctor that agreed to take over my care and insert drains in so that I could FINNALY finish healing. I thank god for him very nice and very experienced guy, kinda wish I would've went to him first. So long story short, Rodriguez was great at SCULPTING, but horrible at everything else, his staff is
Horrible and I just felt very alone dealing with them

I m having a little trouble getting rid of my lower pouch too. I healed really quick so I only was able to drain two days. I developed a few pockets on the left side also but massages may help ( if I keep them up). I'm still kinda sore from surgery & my butt is still numb at the top but I'm starting to see results but stomach not as flat as I'd liked it to be. Maybe it will go down soon. Thanks for sharing...

If it's a Seroma it moves like a bed of water when you touch a spot on your stomach, that's how I knew it was fluid and not swelling, I've had this drain since last Friday and I'm just NOW starting to produce under 10cc's off fluid, smh it sucks when those incisions close early, It's Like a race for time after surgery you HAVE to have like 5 massages within two days to not be stuck with fluid

I hate that that happened to you. I hope my experience is different. I don't recall reading it but did you stay in a recovery house?

So you had to find someone to go back in to relieve the fluid that had built up on the inside???

I only stayed in Miami one night, I live an hour and a half away so I went home after my follow up.
And yes I ended up going to another surgeon because he is only in office 3 days a week, so it's like if I have a complication on a Thursday it means I can't be helped until Monday when he is back in office and I wasn't with that, plus the amount of fluid he took out which was like 60cc's he should've offered me a drain due to how far I lived and the fact that it was that much fluid. I hope your experience is better, the staff is aggravating as hell like seriously, excluding Dailey, she is VERY helpful

I found out last week he is only in the office Monday Tuesday n Wednesday, which made me have to reconsider as to when I wanted to leave. I wanted to schedule the surgery towards the end of the week which could have lessened some of the days I had to take off work. I'm just a lil bothered with them drains having to stay in for 10'days. I hope my fluids stop draining by day 3

Did they tell you that it'll be 10days? Everyone is different, of you end up having to remove the drains yourself it's really easy to do, just FYI

Well if your not producing a SAFE cc he isn't going to remove it, that Seroma stuff is no joke it is VERY common, when that drain comes
Out just make sure you do what he tells you to avoid having one, I'm a nurse so I was ok with aspirating some fluid that developed above my belly button (wouldn't go
To the drain) I'm sure you will be fine.

Shaking my head
So seriously sr rodriguez is a nice guy but his staff sucks so much like it's not even funny, they are ZERO help (except for Dailey) I'm so sick of it, you ask a question and no one knows, I have had the WORST 7days of my life and do you think the staff was of any assistance? HELL NO.

Oh I feel you about the staff. I was on the phone with someone who called me first and when I returned her phone call and was asking questions she could barely speak English. She then tells me to hold on and then another lady gets on the phone who was a lil more helpful. I asked the other lady...I think her name was Anna why would they have someone who can't understand English that great call me and when I have a lot of questions she can't understand me.
