Hello ladies and thank you for your words of support and encouragement. I went to my last and final appointment last week and let's say, it didn't end well. A shouting match ensued. Let's just say, the issue is now resolved and I am satisfied with the outcome. #Refunded
I am going to an appt with another Chicago surgeon in August and will probably book in 2016 because of my school schedule...

Post op consult with Chicago doc for 2nd opinion today
NurseDee36June 19, 2015
Well, today I went on the first of 3 scheduled post op consultations with other surgeons to gauge my LIPO with BBL results. This surgeon was absolutely shocked with what has been going on. She was such a sweetheart. I didn't feel as if she was being pushy or trying to shame me into coming to her for my eventual revision work. She did confirm my belief that my work was not done properly. She also found it odd how my whole procedure was done with only 2 incisions. I found it odd too!!! She also noted that she saw "no significant change" between my before and after photos. She showed me a video of her in surgery performing the exact same procedure I had done and there were MULTIPLE lipo and fat transfer incisions LIKE I THOUGHT THERE SHOULD BE! Who on God's green earth uses ONLY 2 incisions?? I knew I wasn't crazy and she confirmed that by her exam. She was very honest and I believed her. She was so sincere and she even said that I may have some legal recourse should I find the right lawyer. For a surgeon to tell me that spoke volumes. I will definitely go see what the other 2 surgeons have to say but she was very disappointed. She was angry that I was taken advantage of. I am absolutely speechless. She quoted me her prices and since she wasn't the doctor who did my initial surgery, her prices were in the range of what I paid for my botched surgery. I also spoke with her about the pains in my side in which she told me were hematomas (which makes sense) while my surgeon said it was fat necrosis.. WHAT???

I'm sorry you have to go through this. I went through your pictures and I'm seeing what your seeing, but you must not give up. Believe me after my surgery I was feeling so crazy so out of it I swear I was gonna have a metal break down because I have wanted my surgery for year and when I got it done I wasn't pleased at all. I felt like I had no one so I understand how you feel sweet heart, but that why realself is here.so that you could connect with ppl who are going through the same disappointment. What don't kill you makes you stronger. So pick yourself back up and try it again. I'm so uncomfortable with my own body and am in the process of locating a dr to give me a bbl. I didn't realize how bad it has gotten until I found myself avoiding mirrors. Then one day I told myself no I will not be that women. I will not allow myself to dig my own self hate. I'm not who I want to look like but if I really love myself I'll make sure that that happens for me and you should have the same mindset. Love yourself for who you are now because you know in due time you'll change what ever flaws you don't want to live with. So stay strong and work hard to fixing his mistake because your a strong women that can get things done honey! Ps:shame on that man he know better but he have to remember that in the end good ppl will succeed, and you sound like a very sweet women so in the end you'll win and finally be happy hun!

A little over a month post-op and still nothing

My body has NOT undegone any changes. I am NOT still swollen. No matter how I look at it, my surgery was a complete waste of money. Now, on top of $80,000 of student loan debt putting myself through nursing school, I have another $8,000 I am going to regret paying back since I didn't get anything for it. I would have felt better donating that money to a charity. At least it would have been used for something good! Ugh! I have an appointment coming up in a week. If I don't get a resolution, I cannot say I won't go ballistic on him.

Sorry your results weren't what you had expected. I went to dr gelman and had an amazing experience. I wonder if people sometimes think plastic surgery works miracles. It definitely doesn't.. but it can make amazing improvements. For me especially I can't say enough about my results, but I worked really hard to take care of my body both before and after my surgeries.
