Want my Life Back!

UPDATED FROM Vee77

The pics!

WORTH IT
These pics are after 12 days from surgery (1 & 2) Notice how my tattoo is no more. The Dr. cut that out as well as part of my upper buttocks. My body looks very different than normal, but the great thing is that all that stuff is out and I can live normal again. Later, I will pursue a BBL when the right time comes.

Omg it looks great.. has any symptoms returned?
Well, Im still swollen and I have what they call "doggy ears" on both sides. But he said he will remove them in time. I've had no symptoms whatsoever, thank G_d; Ive been resting a lot too.
First thing First you look amazing! I know you feel 100% better without that poison inside of you. Unfortunately I made the same mistake almost 10 years ago and now i have lumps, discoloration, pain, itching, fatigue, anxiety, swelling, and a few more problem. I would like to know what insurance you used pretty please because im really stressed and have spent countless nights crying over this terrible mistake i made and i need to get this stuff removed before it kills me!!!!!
Wondering same. Whenever there’s an insurance question she doesn’t reply. Very frustrating. I’m glad she had success, but many of us would like those who’ve been through this to help us figure out how to get it covered so we don’t have to become destitute or work 80 hours a week to find a way to pay for it. My job only offers HMO plans. Are all these patients just so fortunate to have a PPO???
He only takes out of network which is PPO. That's what we all have in order to get this surgery with Mir. I been with my job for a long time, I've had ppo as my coverage. I did not have tó make any changes to my plan. Good luck with your process.
Thanks. I will have to change jobs or relocate to another county and purchase a plan on the exchange. So I’m going to have to wait quite a while, but if I do health care as we know it could be destroyed by then. Ugh. Only other thing is to see if any exceptions like if my plan has no surgeons qualified to remove PMMA. First I probably have to prove that it is a health problem.
I looked on the exchange and none of the counties close to where I live offer any plans that allow out of network. NOT ONE. So that’s really lovely of this doctor to only accept out of network when it is not even something anyone living near his office can even voluntarily purchase.
So I’m supposed to tell prospective employers I’m looking for a new job because I need a PPO health plan? Health insurance in the USA is a freaking joke.
Too bad the job ads on indeed don’t require employers to advise if the medical plan includes a PPO option.
So I’m thinking only fairly large companies are going to offer a PPO?
Have you tried looking into the doctors in Columbia?, if it weren't because of my insurance being accepted I would of gone to one of the specialist in Columbia. A lot of doctors only take PPO because HMO is a controlled pay structure and do not pay much. I have PPO because most the good doctors/ dentist or so, only take PPO. Some will take HMO but it's hard to find good doctors that take HMO. I do not know what companies offer what but I'm assuming big corporations will be your best bet. Good luck.
Congratulations I had injections over 20 years ago. I was 18 at the time young and fast, all though I had a nice booty for my size I wanted my hips to be wider. Mine have nerve bothered me or caused any pain, even though I fear that down the road it might. Do you think you would of have your's removed if they had not of caused you pain?
Pain was not the only thing I was feeling.. But if you meant if I didn't have any symptoms at all, a doctor a consulted once told me this: what doesn't bother you, leave it untouched, because if you do, you may open a pandora box.. but I think I would've anyways, that stuff migrates.
Wow!! I haven't bee on RealSelf much lately...but I'm sooooo happy you finally got this done! I hope recovery is going well. I started using embrace as soon as my wound was close.
Hi Bianca, how are you sweety? Well Im officially on week 4 and still have 2 drains. Im still draining over 35cc's, and its been hard because I have no help and Im a single mom. It worries me because I don't want any seromas to develop so Im trying the best I can to reduce those numbers and heal with no further complications. Good to hear from you; you look great :)
How has embrace worked for you? Your scar is very thin, butt and scar looks good.
It was very expensive and. Don't think it made much difference.
Random question but did you get a sermoa after removal of the drains? I ask because Dr Mir said the chances are high to get them but not everyone gets them. I'm wondering if less movement prevents you from getting them?
I did get a seroma near my scar. That caused I took about a month for it to dry out. He would drain every week but because te seromA was high it doesn't affect me getting a bbl if I want to.
Hello, i got my butt done about 10 yrs ago n i am not feeling any pain yet but i regret it so much n all i want to do is get it all out, can i ask what type of insurance u got? I truly need to get this done asap. Thanks so much!

On my 12th day!

Hello everyone :) Today I had a follow up visit with Dr. Mir because last Thursday (1week after 2nd surgery) one of my 5 drains was removed before its time. Those considering this surgery must know that bed rest is a mayor part for recovery. With that said, he had asked for me to come in today, and the vac and 2 other drains were removed, as well as the scar covering. Here are some pics.

2nd Final removal.

Second and final removal yesterday :)
Finally done, I have so much to share, but Im on bed rest right now and eating all this hospital food seems so yummy these days :). I do have to say I feel GREAT! These I took early morning, had nothing better to do, just of the drains and side. He removed ALL the fat from my buttocks; fat necrosis is what I had started to develop.

You are such an inspiration :)
How are you doing ? What's the process been like ?
So good to hear you are doing well! You're a real motivator! God bless and keep those of us who are waiting to rid our bodies of this poison updated on how you're doing.
Best wishes & a speedy recovery doll!
Hello, sorry for my late reply, but I have taken bed rest very seriously, lol. I am doing super well thank G_d and the doctors. Taking one day at a time, because recovery is no joke. I am trying to keep away from pain medication (medicated) because I am scared of it, instead using Tylenol (as docs orders) alternating for pain management. But in all honesty, is not so much the pain, but the drains which can are in the way (lol), and a bit uncomfortable. I have a nice little purse (vac) which I have to carry everywhere (attached to one hip) until Dr. Mir decides to remove. One thing I say, I would not change this for what it was.. yeah recovery may be a bit hard, but it will pass, and after the surgeries I have felt healthier, none of the symptoms I had have I felt yet, none. So if you are considering this surgery for the sake of life, go for it, there is no other way. I continue to pray for all of you, that you stay strong and determined, that you find the right doctor for this procedure and the insurance that will cover for it.. SOON!
I am so happy to read your success sory with this, I am literally in tears of joy and crying because I am so happy you are healed.....I too am looking to rid my body of this substance that I've been injected with.....If you don't mind me asking What is the name of your insurance???? Also without insurance what is the cost???? Please let me know asap! Thanks
