It's been almost four months ago since my surgery...seems like longer! I love my look and I still wear my faja or a waist trainer! Faja with the foam is best to me. My lower half is STILL NUMB AND SWELLS DAILY...if I'm super active. I being lazy and need to start a workout routine, cause although I don eat a lot, I still need more activity. My wound is healing good and when I return to Florida, I'll see Dr Hanabergh, to minimize the scar. Hope all is well!

Hello...and thank you! Yes all I had was lipo....I had a consult with Hassan...I'm really happy I ended up going with Dr. Hanabergh. I waste a lot of money though, but that was me being afraid. I paid an extra 2500 to have the surgery in a hospital opposed to the surgical center, which I shouldn't have did. I should have just went to his surgical center, and saved the money.

Hey Crmb76. Thanks for being so transparent!! I just relieved my denial letter from Plazas bc I have sickle cell as well. I received 2 other quotes from other drs and they didn't say anything. I have also had tonsils, gall bladder and two kids removed by c-section and never had any issues, no blood transferred. Nothing! Never been ill, no crisis, I'm not even under dr care. He told me there was no reason to go back every year for "follow up" said my cells are dormant. What do you suggest? I wanted to go to Colombia. Also I see you said oh feel like oh wasted the extra $2500 and now regret going to the OR but would have done it through the surgery center. Please help I have tons of ?s. thanks!!

Hey! I am looking into getting a tummy tuck and I have sickle cell. I really wanted liposuction done cause of less recovery with having sc but each doctor said it would be a waste of money. I have seen 3 doctors and none have told me no but they did say they would talk with my hematologist first to see the route they should take as far as medications. I have had 3 sections and a few blood transfusions, gall bladder removed, and dental surgery. Everything went well with all those. I have been trying to find people that has had a tt that has sickle cell but I don't really see anyone plus I have been reading some doctors comments saying you shouldn't get a tt with having sc because of the complications but I would thinks its the same complications or risk with having a c section. Any ideas from anyone or any suggestions. Thanks

This is me...my wounds are healing good. Love the flatness and small waist. Still swollen so more to come. Still numb in certain places, and have that itchy, burning feeling that I hate.

Elaine is really good and AFFORDABLE as far as massages and aftercare (meals,transportation etc). Use her, she's certified and knows what she's doing. She also includes cavitation with her massages

I did have complications, unfortunately I ended up with necrosis from the SC, lack of blood circulation. But that's it. If not for that it would've turned out great!

I'm glad you added your review and entire journey. I am the carrier of Beta Thalassemia and just by telling them that I got turned down for the bbl. I'm waiting on my labs because if my hemoglobin is high enough I can proceed.
