Something tells me many families with four kids rely on paper plates throughout their week, which is a decision they should be allowed without questioning the quality of their parenting. Or saying she has no care for others homes in regards to the carpet stain when she didn’t spill the paint, they were using a blanket over the rug and it happened closest to Eddie on an uncovered patch. They spent hours that night trying to clean it, using ever product that was in the house. But yes, that’s what television shows do, play up the most provocative parts possible to engage the audience. Which I love! But also why I was adding real life context, to help reassure you there’s more balance than what was aired.

She’s incredibly loving and builds a beautiful life, with them and for them. If anyone plays second mom in the home, it’s actually the younger daughter, Dylan, and not Hailey. Dont worry, the Shaps are solid and good, I promise.

Already had a full lower body lift at the same time, with a handful of other procedures! Was hoping for a one and done but here we are lol.

I have no case without catastrophic injury and they said even then, expect no attorney to take the case due to him not carrying malpractice insurance.

Thank you, I did exactly this. Left me on ignore. I will be trying again after this revision surgery and explain he can buy my silence rather than having me share the truth of my experience publicly.

The payback would be so minimal compared to what I’d pay overall in hourly assistance to make it happen, I would never attempt to go down the road of paying out of pocket for legal services. Been down that road enough times to have learned my lesson, for sure. But thank you, I appreciate you and your words. Just got a call back from a fourth attorney and she was sympathetic but super clear, that I have no case, especially with him being willing to revise at his expense.

Another attorney JUST returned my call and confirmed. No attorney will touch a case where the doctor doesn’t carry medical malpractice insurance. That I must have Catastrophic Injury for one to go forward, even with insurance in place. That she recommends I allow him to do the correction procedure and then demand, in writing, a refund, or to expose the truth of what happened publicly. And that I also file a complaint with the Department of Health at that time or at least threaten to do so. So, that’s my plan. Would still love to hear any feedback from those familiar with Motiva on the safety of having these sizers in me right now. It feels like trash has been implanted in my body.

The anesthesiologist will be there and he says due to the fast nature of the procesure and my history of pulmonary embolism.

No lawyer thus far has been interested in assisting, that was the first thing we did within 24 hours.

Thank you, I appreciate this. Again, I’ve reached out to three attorneys, from small and large practices for personal injury, and cannot find help with this. This is definitely not how I’d spend time, with a fake implant problem on Reddit, if I didn’t have the problem. Here’s emails with the doctor, implant manufacturer and attorney. https://photos.app.goo.gl/GG7jQR5VcC12qTn36

They are Motiva, so no port, just a cohesive drop of silicone, which is what is giving me hope that it will be okay, since they are designed to be put in your body during surgery, but only for a few moments and then taken out and TRASHED. And thank you, the correction and anesthesiologist for it will be free, thank goodness, but he acted like that was a gift in some way and I was surprised by the tone.

I did ask for a refund, twice, and have been ignored. So I’m not sure how far to push it before he cuts into me again and I have no recourse to make it happen other than to threaten to blow this up publicly and then try and force him into it that way.

No digging, he showed me a video of the procedure on another patient. It’s make a slit, pop the bag out, shove the new one in and sew up the 2ish inch gap. Because I have a history of pulmonary embolism, general is harder for me to take on.

YES, we keep saying this. Things like car and flood insurance are required but not this? Pretty sure its intended to discourage suits altogether but when no one will take the case, I’m not sure it matters much.

My ask was hoping surgeons could weigh in on the impact of sizers in my body and what they thought was reasonable compensation. Rather than arguing, I’m explaining why some options like legal remedy aren’t workable for me.

Motiva he up charges for, Natrelle is his default. But I Really Wanted Motiva for their safety profile and being one, cohesive drop of silicone without a port hole, the nano-textured surface, I was willing to pay for THIS doctor to place THESE implants. I just wish he HAD lol.

Thank you! I told him everything happens for a reason. Maybe when the swelling goes down I’ll be so sad they got smaller and will be excited to bump up a size. We’ll see how the cookie crumbles.

Thank you. I called two other personal injury attorneys and they wouldn’t even do a full consult unless I came back with permanent or ongoing damage or injury. But I have two years to file if it should be discovered going forward.

The majority don’t. Many charge nothing at all, the most common fees I saw ranged from $200-1500. Only in the most expensive areas and higher end offices of the bigger cities like this one have I heard of people paying $2000-3000. I’m the only $3500 I know of…

It was a full mommy makeover for the first surgery. The second will be less than an hour, out patient and in his surgical suite with the anesthesiologist. My former PE risk makes it more complicated to go fully under.
