I've been through hell!

I just want to say this has been one of the hardest things I've had to go through. Even worse than childbirth! I thought I would bounce back quickly and it definitely wasn't the case. So the day after surgery I went to Marian and got my first massage. It was free because I let the girls she was teaching watch. She did a good job. So after I got back to the room I was sooo weak and the pain kept getting worse. Not to mention my heart was racing and I had an ashy pallor. Being a nurse I new my hemoglobin was pretty low. I told Amy to take me to the ER by that evening. I got there, husband by my side and they tell me my hemoglobin was 6.8, recheck 6.4. They admitted me due to anemia and cellulitis and connective tissue disorder. I had inflammation everywhere and my body was in attack mode due to the trauma of the surgery. The doctor said I had to be observed for shock and multi organ failure. Due to my bloodwork showing so much inflammation I was checked for blood clots. I tried to explain to the doctor I just had surgery so I figured this was normal especially with aggressive lipo. I had no fever but I needed a blood transfusion and IV antibiotics and several fluid boluses. It scared me so bad all I could do was pray to God! I ended up having a reaction to the first transfusion because the nurse was terrible and didn't start the blood appropriately. ( that's another story in itself,I actually may have a lawsuit) then finally my body accepted the blood. I've never been so afraid in my life. The beginning of my hospital stay was horrible. My surgery went fine and I can't say Dr Hasan did anything wrong. He told me I may lose a lot of blood and since my hgb was only 11.8 a transfusion may be needed. Dr Hasan also urged me to get a tummy tuck first then a bbl but I refused to do it that way. Anyway back to the hospital part, I was there from 8/15-19. I never made it back to my room. I had to get a refund from airbnb since I didn't stay. I was discharged that Wednesday morning I went to Marian to get a massage before I left and she was very nice. She drained me really good. But left me warn you girls please drink plenty of Gatorade and water. I didn't because I was rushing to pack and make it to Vanity and then to airport. Dr Hasan saw me before I left and my sites look fine. He apologized for how everything went for me. The assistant Keyla drained a little fluid from my belly. We left got to the airport and I almost passed out. I got so anxious on the plane my husband had to calm me down. I made it home and had to go to the ER for dehydration. They checked me again for clots in my lung since the inflammation was still showing in my blood work. There were no clots thank God but there was crackling under my skin near my ribs but that's from Dr Hasan's aggressive lipo and small amounts of air was introduced underneath. It will dissolve on its on. I'm much better today. Still hurts. I had one massage here in VA and she was just ok, not like Marian. My butt looked so huge and swollen I did not want a big butt and I told the Dr that. I'm just waiting for it to go down as everyone says it will. Whew! That was a long review and I left out a few things but I will discuss other issues later.

Mee too I actually went and bought some liquid B12 after Nina954 said she was hospitalized

Did she find out what caused an infection ? B12 helps with infections ?
August 29, 2015
Thanks so much.
August 29, 2015
You just need to make sure you take iron with vitamin C to keep your hemoglobin up. VitB12 doesn't help with that. And I didn't have an infection the hospital saw the redness and swelling and assumed I did. Either way Dr hasan prescribes antibiotics for prevention

See thats what happened to Nina954, I told her to reach out to you lol...Im going to consult with my doctor on increasing my iron quickly...the supplements messed me up and she ordered me off...so my hemo is 12.8 currently - naturally ....by eating spinach,lentils beets etc....so lets see what I can do.

No b12 doesn't help with infection but it does help regulate red blood cells to keep them healthy it also contains folic acid it's the liquid by NOW I'll find out Friday what my Hemo is at... Glad to hear you are recovering take care

Hey honey bun. I signed myself out of the hospital today because they didn't know whay they was talking about. They tried to say i had cellulitis and everything you went through. They was wrong. Remember before dr hasan did the surgery, he said that he injects a lot of fluid in us which will dilute the blood which would make it seem as if our hemoglobin is lower than what it really is. Absolutely nothing was wrong with me. If you have a infection, the first sign would be a fever. I didnt have a fever or nothing. Just swollen and uncomfortable. I got drained ny keyla at Vanity. I had almost 10 cups of fluid drained out of me. My incisions closed too early and didnt givey body time to drain. Trust me, nothing was wrong wi th you hun
August 29, 2015
Yea I don't doubt the anemia because I was symptomatic but I knew I didn't have an infection. A plastic surgeon saw me in the hospital and couldn't say anything bad about my surgery. I'm glad you are ok too.
August 29, 2015

I just got up to the bathroom. Love the P Ez. It's a must have. Got that off eBay too for $3.pain is about 6-7. Dr Hasan Lopo is aggressive so my belly hurts the worse. Moving is tough but once I'm up its better. Amy is such a doll. I'm so pleased with her care. She's so organized and very attentive. My hubby is too.
