Not Worth Dying Over! - Providence, RI

$6,000
Was so excited to have this done. Went it to have tummy tuck,lipo and breast reduction. Everything went well, but after 2 days got weird sensation in thigh. 911 took me in and was scanned and they said I had a blood clot on lung (but no scaring on clots on legs). Got put on coumadin and anti anxiety meds (as I was told I almost died). Got home and was healing nicely but nervous about the coumadin/rat poison. Then 1 week later I passed out and had major internal bleeding (and almost died again). Turns out the coumadin gave me internal bleed. I am now home AGAIN, with a stomach that is square from all the blood. It's been horrific almost dying twice (and Radiology says they're not sure it even was a blood clot!). NEVER AGAIN.

I am awfully sorry that you had to go through this. Sending lots of prayers your way, please come back soon, and let us know how you're doing. (((hugs)))
Sending healing wishes your way and a speedy recovery.
Oh, wow! So sorry you had this horrible ordeal. Unfortunately, surgery is not without risk. :(
Very sorry to hear about what you are going through. What did your Dr. say about all this? I hope and pray you get well quickly.
Said that i was in the 1% - doesn't help me (since I never win Powerball either). Just a VERY long drawn out emotional rollercoaster. My stomach looks like I've swallowed a box but every day gets easier. This is the worst month of my life and I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy my new look once the blood in my stomach dissapears.
I'm sorry you are going through so much pain and I truly hope it heals faster for you and in the end you love the results. Take care, and keep us posted.
Have you ever been told that you have a clotting risk? I don't have the ability to break down a clot, I forget what the diagnosis is and had to be on blood thinners my entire pregnancy and post pregnancy. Clotting is one of my concerns for an upcoming TT and BA. I'm hoping that when I do my consult with the PS, he'll agree to have me on blood thinners to prevent an issue. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've wound up on the wrong side of statistics before and it is devastating xo
Still in agony after almost 1 month. When I get up from a nap the blood just rushes out (old blood from my hemotoba) but I'm so done with being sick. No clotting issues before and would never recommend Coumadin to anyone - not worth dying over.
