Default My two cents...

Now this is just MY OPINION...you can take it or leave it!!
My ex-boyfriend's brother, who is 28 yrs old and was in great health, decided to have a tummy tuck (for vanity sake) by Dr. Sessions. Now he's having some SERIOUS problems. About a week after surgery he went back into the hospital because the muscles they cut and stretched, ripped and they had to go back in a re-sew/re-attach them. He has all these drains in for the fluid and I guess you're only supposed to "leak" a few cc's a day, but he's "leaking" 50-60 cc's daily. And on top of that he's got quite a few blood clots in his legs and his gut area. He went to the Dr and told him he was having leg pain and cramping, and the Dr sent him home. Now, he's been in the hospital since Friday and they opened him back up again yesterday to see if they could find out what the heck is going on. They put filters in his legs to catch the blood clots if/when they come loose. All this for a flatter tummy? I'm not so sure I want to even chance any of this happeneing to me. I'm thinking about re-thinking my decision to get a TT EVER. Again, just MY OPINION.
