hi, im going in on 21st April for uplift, implants and tummy tuck. Really looking forward to it but scared at the same time. Was supposed to go in on 24th March, then 7th April now for def on the 21st. Ive been reading loads up on it. Can't seem to find too many reviews for these procedures with the Hospital group though, anyone got any ideas where to look?

Hi Janet

I completely agree, there doesn't seem to be much around in the way of reviews of any kind for cosmetic surgery clinic. Cosmeticcompare.com have setup a reviews section in this forum to help people share reviews of their experience at a clinic so that others may benefit.

There's only 1 review at the moment for The Hospital Group - see http://www.cosmeticcompare.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=6

To help put your mind at rest, the Hospital Group are one of the 'high street' names in cosmetic surgery and have lots of experience. Good luck with your procedure and we would be grateful to hear how you got on and what you thought of the the Hospital Group.

Hi Paula,
will get back to you and let you know how it all went, really getting nervous now, but still excited, especially glad to be getting rid of the excess skin, ive only got a small frame but i really notice it. Have only told one person, what do i say? My kids dont know, they'll not see me for a couple of days and then they'll see me all bandaged and unable to move. I'm already looking forwards to cuddles after i've healed. One week to go before i go in. I reckon pain and suffering for 6 weeks and then back to how i was 6 years ago. Flat tum and boobs up where they should be. Yippee.

Hiya, postponed again, they didn't do my blood test. Now we have a new date for 5th May. I've had to rearrange so many times i think i'll go crazy. Childcare, work, employees, hubby. What next? Still want it done but all the messing about is really getting us down. Will keep you updated.

Hi there... Just want to know what happened to the operation? I'm just curious of the outcome. Thanks

Hi
Hope you are well, sounds like too much surgery in one go, so hope it went well. The Brazilian tummy tuck is giving amazing results www.harleystreetplasticsurgery.info/tummy-tuck.html

The result of the Tummy tuck surgery is just outstanding. The Tummy tuck surgery removes out the excess of the body fat. I am also planning for Tummy tuck surgery these November.

A week after I returned to my surgeon, who took off the tape and re taped my tummy and breasts. He took out 3 stitches from my belly button, told me he is pleased with it and to come back in a month. Breasts are in a huge bra and healing although tender to touch. The tummy is bleeding here and there, and I have some scabs around the scar which he told me to rub any sort of cream in! I am not touching them though, not yet.

I have my father here to look after me, and today I cannot get out of bed, I stopped all meds yesterday due to them stopping me going to the loo, I am now able to go properly.

I am feeling so down and lonely its unreal. I am so glad i have my lap top and these sites to make me feel at ease with what I am going through. Thank you

Updated on Mar 15, 2009:

2 weeks today I had a tummy tuck, uplift & implants.

I have since been prescribed so many different types of pain killers and antibiotics I am totally lost as to what I should now be taking.

The antibiotics are Trimethoprim 200mg (urine infection) and Flucloxaillin 500mg (inflammation & infection to my wounds) & paracetamol for the temperature.

I have been taking Tramadol 50mg & Dicloflex 50mg for 2 weeks now, 3 times a day. Due to the side effects of these I also have been prescribed movicol & senna.

I am in a lot of pain still, I can only sleep sitting up still & I long to curl up again! I have a nasty smell about me, even though I shower daily. And the meds are making me so sleepy, I have had bowl movement twice in two weeks.

Can someone tell me if this is 'the norm' please?
I feel so desperate to get dressed and be myself again, yet this seems such a long way off. I paid a lot of money for this, and I don't get to see my surgeon until a months time.

I would like to know whether I should be suffering like this, as I feel so alone in doing so.

I don't know which clinic you went to but you should not wait until a month for the follow up. Ask to see them now. If they refuse (they shouldn't) you should see your GP.
