oh boy, I'm paid up in full for Dr. Gabay. I was supposed to have it on Jan. 27 but had some problems and needed more blood work.. I almost changed my mind and they was going to let me get my money back.

If it wasn't like that before could it be a seroma (fluid build)? Did he so lipo also?

He examined me and said it wasnt seroma and that it didn't look infected. Mt question is why after 9 weeks i started to look prego in 1 week? I'm going back again for some answers

Thanks, but right now im still not completely satisfied im progressing slowly not fast enough for almost 3 months. If i could think back in 2007 when i had my first TT i wasnt in much pain as i am right now and my results were amazing. 7 yrs later not so good smh
