Cancelled. Didn't proceed with this procedure. BBL Scheduled! I Will Finally Have a Girly Figure! - Miami, FL

Cancelled last night/today
$5,300
Sadly I had to cancel my surgery. After the situation with the walk in clinic yesterday and a conversation with the last doctor I saw for my asthma, giving medical clearance is not something taken lightly in my area. After talking to the doctor that turned me down yesterday I certainly understand his position. It is a big responsibility and he basically told me that he really wants me to have a safe surgery but does not know my medical status well enough to feel confident giving the OK. It makes sense.
I got a call from Dr. Tachmes operating room manager this morning offering to call the office that I went to yesterday but it really won't do any good. I am super upset....months of anticipation and it ends like this. Not to mention the wasted plane ticket and time off I have scheduled....Lots of money down the drain.
I really wish I had been given all the forms and info about what I needed to do on my end much sooner than 10 days ago. Not enough time.
My advise to anyone planning surgery:
Make sure the doc you are scheduled with communicates to you a couple months in advance what you need to do to prepare. Planning and preparing takes time, especially if you have any medical conditions. Laws are different in different states. I have had general anesthesia here in this state and don't recall my well controlled asthma being an issue but in Florida I was told it is state law to treat it as a pre-existing medical condition and require a medical history and medical clearance. This is why my surgery is not going to work out...at least not this time around.
Well, next time I am able to manage some time off (I am the sole worker in my own new business) at least I will know what I need to be prepared. This is so lame and I am so deflated (my buttocks and my mood!)

This is starting to look like a bust...
I went to the walk in clinic to get my medical clearance and labs done today and after 2.5 hours of waiting and getting blood drawn I was sent away with nothing. Right in the middle of the EKG (right after getting the sticky things on me) the doctor came and stopped the test. Said he needed to talk to me. It turns out he did not want to be responsible for clearing me for surgery. I called my old doctors office and was told a similar thing, that the doctor may not be willing to give clearance for a surgery done out of state. I understand but I am so annoyed! I thought this was not a big deal and I was told that lots of the people coming in from out of state just go to walk in clinics for the medical clearance. Particularly when it comes to not having insurance. I had to shop around for a while to find an office that could do it for a price I could afford. I only have two weeks till my scheduled date and now it looks like I may have to cancel. I assume I will be refunded the full amount. This certainly is not something that I have any control over. I am so pissed....frustrated....disappointed...and OUT OF TIME. I will not have time to look around the city for someone that is willing to take the responsibility of clearing me for surgery. UGH!!!!!!!

Hi,
I wonder how it is going for you? It seems a bit of an odyssey! I was reading through your posts here and looking at both your pics and 'wish pics'. And I guess I would hope that you realize (you probably do!) that those celebrity pics are airbrushed and manipulated to look certain ways.
I had a lipo procedure and at first I feel I had a great outcome but as time went on, I realized that there were side effects to this procedure I was not aware of (nor made aware of). Now I live with them and it is very hard, every day.
SO~ I can see you are very enthusiastic about your procedure; I DO hope it goes well. But please pay attention to the consent form you sign and what is promised to you. My thought is to be a bit reserved from the friendliness of the staff etc. and make sure that your concerns are the primary focus!
Good luck!

Hopscotch (great screen name by the way - I love Hopscotch) - you must be so disappointed! I have huge reservations about surgery, but to have these turn of events at this point in your planning would seem upsetting. I know how sensitive we all are to our bodies, so this may not mean anything to you, but I just want to say that your butt and your legs look amazing to me. I don't know of anyone who has a body they feel 100% comfortable with. Were you putting on pounds by eating more or by gaining muscle? I wonder if some strengthening with muscles would give you a little more of the shape that you want because it seems like you have a pretty great basic body.

Really kind of you to say ChaCha21! Thanks... :-)
Well, it looks like strength training is my only option at this point in time! I had to cancel...I know I can't get everything done in a timely fashion and wanted to give the office time to fill the slot. I expect a full refund, the only thing I saw on their forms in regard to refund was that a 20% deposit would be forfeited in the event I cancel within 48 hours without a medical reason. I thought it would be in mine and the offices best interest to just cancel now rather than stress everyone out more!

Well, yeah. Things come up for people, and it sounds like you're giving plenty of notice, so hopefully they'll refund without a problem. Like you said, it's really not in anyone's best interest to combine stress and surgery. Maybe the strength training or whatever will help in the meantime. I have a great Pilates DVD that I love. It's not a cure all, but Pilates feels great to do.

hey hon. Sorry to hear about the EKG stoppage. I had a similar body type preop somewhat. You can check out my pix if u want. Their not air brushed! . Otherwise I am very happy with my perry-results. Also I read your list which is great, but I would recommend arnica ointment. It helps with bruises and pain. Smear it all over your liposuction areas.goodluck.

Thank you so much for the advise! We did have similar body types...(past tense!) You look gorgeous.... I had to cancel....very sad. I am out of town for the next few days and slammed with work (to make up for my off time) after that. No time to get testing and find a doc to give medical clearance and get my medical history sorted out. I am soooooo disappointed. I will have to sort out a time in the future to try and plan this again. BOOOOO...sux

18 days till surgery!!!!
I can't believe it's so soon!!!! I feel like I still have so much to do!
I have already started packing/shopping. So far I have packed:
2 plastic shower liners for hotel bed.
2 large flat sheet (for on top of plastic liner)
benadryl pills and spray
antibacterial wipes
bandaids
gauze pads
medical tape
neosporin
chux pad
qtips
enema
gatorade
meal replacement shakes (I expect these to be an easy way to nourish my body when feeling icky first 24-48 hours)
crystal light packets (to encourage fluid intake..when water gets boring!)
lotion
face wipes
Waiting on my shipments that include:
Arnica tablets
half round foam roller to sit on in airplane and in cabs
robe (cheapy one that I can afford to bleed on)
Aero-Cel face cushion (for sleeping face down)
Next I need to go print out all the consent forms (loads of them!) and sign them so I can bring them with me on the flight.
Then it's off to the doctor to get my exam and tests for medical clearance.
After that I have to pick up my prescriptions and reserve my hotel.
Can't do any of that till I get paid tomorrow....
Hard to believe this is happening! I keep looking at my body and trying to imagine what I might look like with a little butt...and with a waist! So excited!
Anything I have overlooked? Suggestions??
