you won't believe what the PS did!

He told me today that he couldn't do because he couldn't tighten my muscles and the sutures would pull out...............blah blah............. and he couldn't tell me because there were others there and he couldn't talk to me in front of them.  (duh, like he couldn't ask them to leave the room....) 

bottom line is he didn't want to do anchor so he didn't do it.  he was all focused on it would give me a scar................. BS.  He was always blaming my poochie belly button on stretched skin and that was crap............ it looked like that right after LBL and always the same since.  it was not stretched out skin that happened afterwards............ he left too much skin so it needed removing....... but he was making BS excuses to avoid blame. 

today's excuses was more of the damn same........... excuses, because he didn't bother to do what we agreed on............................. he didn't mind charging me the higher price and doing the cheaper surgery though did he??? 

the old................. tell the woman anything and do what you want to do anyway............  you talk and they go peppermint patty on you......................LA LA LA LA... and tune you out.  so basically now i don't trust a word out of his mouth.  i would never dare use him for a facelift or something because he would agree to what you wanted then go off and please himself.  you could wake up with cheekbone or chin implants that you refused to have done before he knocked you out.

Maybe I missed this but who was the surgeon?

I didn't post his name because I didn't my message deleted.  this site apparently does not like certain types of comments.  but this site would not pull up his name at any rate, and the charges here are way higher than what everybody is listing at any rate, so i doubt if anyone on here would be using him anyway.  hospitals are really overpriced here also.

This all sounds outrageous to me. The fact that he didn't do a TT with the LBL seems very odd. I agree with the PP who suggested a lawyer.

he did do the front during LBL, but left skin way too loose and put a big fat area around my belly button.  since he did not do anchor back then my waist and hips we the same size.  i wanted lipo around the belly button.  he said i needed a TT.  I told him i wanted a waist so pants and skirts would stop falling off and so i would be able to wear pants that fit waist and hips instead low rise jeans all the time. 

he agreed to do anchor with TT.  i woke up with TT and no Anchor, so still no freaking waist.  I told him ahead multiple times that i would live with what i had if all he was going to do was yank the fat down lower....... that would be removing the one area of skin that did not have fat under it.  yanking fat down would mean none of my low rise pants would fit and i would still have no waist. 

i woke up and he had just yanked the fatty skin down and removed the skin that was not fat!!  he had not done anchor so now I still have no waist and all my low rise pants will no longer fit.... and all for the price of TT with anchor

"Get thee to an attorney!"

He should have fixed what didn't work in the LBL ...for FREEEEEE, and maybe you just pay anesthesia at the very most.  Did you have in writing that you were going to get an anchor cut before you paid for it?  My surgeries always spelled it out.  Also, you definitely must insist on getting the difference back from anchor cut to TT, otherwise he is just using you as a money-making doormat and you are letting him do it.  I don't mean to be cruel here at all -- please don't be intimidated by him.  He sounds absolutley deplorable, and I think you should post here and let us know his name.  He sounds like a megalomaniac and a dangerous one.

They give you a paper that says what you are getting and what his fee, the anesthesiologist fee, and surgical facility fee.  the paper for TT is different from the one with TT and anchor cut.

There is a higher charge by anesthesia and facility for doing anchor cut also.   I will have to see if anyone sends me a refund check!!!

I now have a frankenstein belly button.  the previous one was funny looking and i started massaging it like people here said they were told to, and it turned into a nice round one that you could not tell it had been surgically created.  But this one has a zillion staples and stitches, and is going to be ugly...........................

I wanted a waistline so my skirts would stop falling off my body.  they don't stay up too well when there is almost no difference in waist and hips.  this is just too depressing to think about.  but thanks for your input.

I sincerely hope you get at least some of your money back , it's the absolute least he can do for you.  You should report him to whatever medical boards he is a member of, and what agency your state uses.  That should get his attention and he would come back to try to make you happy.  Best wished for you.

thanks, i appreciate the support.  i felt pretty blown-off after the procedure.  like someone had played the shell game with me.
