WORTH IT
In 2006, I had met with a woman who was reccommended, for celulite & stretch matk treatments on my buttoks. I remember being a bit scared because after we had discussed previous times what she would inyect in my body, I also had done research online, but this was only being done in the Phillipines by Doc's with no problem.
She had told me that it was a 6 months treatment and throughtout that period, the water and natural oils based solution would also work itself fron the inside out. How dumb was I...
I regret having done this; its been 10 years I did this, I have been looking for her for the past 4 years, to no avail.. She outsmarted me!
I went to Dr. G in FL, but he is super expensive for me; I need to remove this yesterday. My left side is hardening and it swells on & off, sometimes I can hardly walk, I cant lay on that side. This has migrated to the lower part of my back as well; I am a mess.
I have two doctors in mind: Dr. Slobondianik in Venezuela and Dr. Mir in NY (who learned technique from the previous).. Just waiting on a health plan approval!

I had my surgery with dr daniel slobodiank check my thread ... he operated me in barcelona spain
September 21, 2016
Yes, he is the one I want to get it done with.. I like the way you healed and the scar. Can we talk private so that you can tell me the basics on how to go from here, because he did tell me he would do it in Spain, but I want to have at least an idea of the process. I would truly appreciate it.

Dominican Republic. He uses two technique open or close if you want to have reconstruction right away. I chose to stay natural with my little butt and only have two small incision on each butt cheek. Plus one in between my butt on the top.

How many did u inject? And do u have an mri the first step is an mri
September 21, 2016
I got 3 mri's and went to Dr. G in Miami, but I dont feel too comfortable with him for some reason. The other I sent to Dr. Repta who has performed this surgery as well.
I only had 2 "treatments" (thats what she called them) but dont know how much.

Hello Vee, I also went to see Dr God and felt completely uncomfortable with him and felt so confused and alone, I felt like I was just another $ sign to him. I recently had an appointment with Dr. Mir and will be doing my surgery with him and I feel very comfortable, I'm just waiting for my insurance to kick in.
September 25, 2016
Hi can u pls send me the info for how u went about to get the insurance....
September 28, 2016
Hello, The insurance you either get from a good job that offers it; he told me Bloomingdales (Macy's) or for those who have a small business or business owners, through the LLC as sole proprietorship. This way they charge a monthly fee depending on how much is your income. It can be from zero to almost $800 monthly.

Hello to all! I haven't posted lately because I have not been able to get the surgery done yet.. I need insurance approval. It seems now that if its not an emergency, approval is now required for the removal. Mind you, the monthly cost for the insurance is not cheap. So Ive been on queue, waiting to see if it will be performed by Dr. Mir or else I will have to go to Dr. Gallerani in Fl. The worst part of it all is that the material is migrating towards my thighs, my left.. and I get lots of leg cramps, even my toes are beginning to hurt. Just want this nightmare to be over. Hope the same for all of you who still have not been able to get the surgery done either.

Thank G_d that is out of your body, your life will go back to normal and so will your health. Keep us updated, really happy for you :)

I have my consultation soon, when I called both Mir and Tanovic office they only said that out of network plan is all that's needed. They didn't say there's a probability it might not get approved :( ... in fact I remember Mir office telling me I have good insurance and should not have an issue.
What insurance company are you with ?
I hope you can get over this hurdle to get this taken care of soon. I also hope to not come across this problem as I too want to get over this nightmare :/

I have oxford freedom. He said is one of the bst plans out there, im just waiting to see. Good luck!

Dr Mir office told me I had excellent health insurance. My insurance covers 100% in or out of network for hospitals. I took off work when there from TX to NY hotel and rental car. After my consult Dr Mir said I had the worst insurance and he can't help me. I was wondering because I told him I had to wait until this summer to have it done when my kids was out of school. So I guess he felt my case was not that serious .
April 6, 2017
Hhhmm .. why would he say great insurance then say it's the worst ?
My first choice is Dr Tanovic. Maybe you should try her as well. Best of luck :)

I know right I could of kept my money, why wait until I get there and have a consult with you then you say I have the worst insurance. I'm going see her in a few days.

Hey Ladies, I'm one of the crazies who made the mistake. I believe with all my heart God led me to this site after years of silently suffering without hope. Finally, I found Dr. Gallerina but he wanted cash and other fees. They told me I would need a hotel and my own nurse. Whattttt? Finally I found your post and called dr. Tenovich's office. She accepts insurance but unfortunately my insurance covers only 40% out of network. I need help now! Suggestions, comments?
April 5, 2017
I had my surgery done a month ago , my only advise is "be prepare " it sounds scary but it's worse than that ."good luck and everyone can handle it .

The healing process is hideous! Doctors don't tell you that. But it's time for us to start being honest on these blogs.
April 6, 2017
Hi Someone told me about about Dr Gallerani he is very expensive but now trying to get a consult with him soon consult is $300.00 want to try him..
May 17, 2017
I also had removal with gallerani in 2015 he removed a good amount because that never comes out 100% but my symptoms have subsided and I feel good .
August 15, 2017
They told me I needed to stay at a hotel and provide my own nurse. What was your experience?

You need to start a go fund me page, your health is at risk. At the very least go see a doctor about the syptoms are having.

Have you seen a doctor yet? I went to Miami to do an MRI and they can tell you how much and even show u the dice
April 26, 2017
Yes, many actually.. Ive spoken and seen by Dr. Gallerani and Dr. Mir.. Dr. Mir is working with my case as per med ins.. and of course if approved, which I pray and hope I do, he will perform it. Ive had three mri's already except for the left thigh which recently migrated there. Dr. Mir is always in touch with me, now we are just waiting.
April 26, 2017
Mines did the same I have in both thighs idk what dr. G gonna do about that because so far he said there's nothing he can't do.
May 7, 2017
Hi Vee, mine feels the same way, like some of the silicone has migrated into my upper thighs. Dr. Mir is a wonderful person, and I hope you get approved for the procedure soon!
May 9, 2017
Yes, he has been very humanitarian. I have been in touch with him since Sep 2016, and we continue to be. Today I finally got approved. Surgery will be soon. Hold on, dont give up, but fight for your life. Take care!
May 9, 2017
I wish you all the best; sending you great vibes. May G_d watch over you during the procedure and healing process. Stay in touch. G_d bless!
May 11, 2017
All the exams, history, was collected about 2 weeks ago and sent; do about a week it took for them yo approve it
Thanks for starting a review, keep us posted on which doctor you decide and on your health plan approval progress! Â
