Well it all started in May. I went for my consultation for breast augmentation surgery. I thought that it was going to be the most exciting time in my life, but it was just the beginning of a huge nightmare. I was seen by Dr. George Valentini, which I was told by My Choice Medical that he is a great doctor. I was not only scamed by My Choice Medical (doctor say yes), but I was also injured by Dr. George Valentini. Dr. George Valentini did his consultation, and we didn't even discuss prices. He told me what he thought was best for me. I left it up to him. After he left a girl named Angel from My Choice Medical came in. Let me remind you I have already put down $500, and then I was going to put another $1,000 more when she said "oh I am so sorry I made a mistake I figured out the the wrong price it is going to required another $1,000 for you to be able to have the surgery". I didn't know what to think. My heart sunk to the ground. Well I was very stupid I went along with it out of the goodness of my heart, and said "that is ok mistakes do happen". One thing I hate is being played like a fool, and I was played like a fool. I then wrote the check out, and book my surgery.
After a few weeks went by I decieded to get my money back, and pay for the consultation. I contact Dr. George Valentini office, and they said I couldn't get my money back. I took a look at my finance paper, and It says in the contract that I would lose all my down payment money if I cancel the surgery. Well let me tell you this. I wish I would have cancelled, and not worried about the money, because I wouldn't have never been in a situation like I am today, if I wouldn't worry about the deposit money of $2,300.
On June 18 I went under surgery. 1 1/2 weeks later I started in with pain. I called the doctor and they take your pain medication, and just go to bed, and so I did. I recently seen Dr. George Valentini, and stress my concerns. My breast have fallen, and I feel something isn't right is this normal? He told me that the breast implants are now settling, and they look natural. He took his camera, and took pictures he didn't even examine me. I drove 2 hours away for that, and not to mention very rude. I tried to smile and joke, but deep down inside I wanted to cry. Well 5 days later the pain started coming in. It hurt so bad I could cry. I called the doctor, and the nurse Susan was yelling at me. She said "you have a very low tolence of pain. I am going to add to this I had 29 surgerys by the best doctor I think I am a very strong person to be able to go through that. Well I told Susan that I was going to see my family doctor, and I did. My family doctor told said "I am not a plastic surgeon, but I can tell you this that your breast are to low. So 2 days later went to see a plastic surgeon, and was told it is going to cost me $8,000 for breast reconstruction. I was really impressed with this doctor. The doctor talk with me for 45minutes to 1hour, and that is impressive. Dr. Valentini was only in my consulation 10minutes at the most.
Well the new plastic surgeon said that I have huge implants in with no support, and I am going to continue to have pain until I have to surgery. Well this is a sad situation. I can't get approved for financing. The only place I can get approved for financing is from that crazy scam company called "My Choice Medical", which I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for them in the first place. There doctor are unfit to plastic surgeon. My surgery cost me $5,999, and now I am on pain medication for my pain. I also want to mention that this so called vitiam, which is call Arnica and Bromelain (VitaMedica) is said to Asthenoazoospermia in patients receiving anti-tumour necrosis factor {alpha} agents. On August 12 almost 7 weeks after surgery. I woke up with a huge golf ball size knot on my groin area, which I was told was an abscess. I want to say that I have never In my life ever had anything like this before. I was very scared. I went to the minor emergency center, and had it opened up. They told me if it doesn't get better in 5 days to return, or go to your family doctor. Well my point on this is that these vitamins that he gives his patients before and after surgery have very bad side effects. It is used as an anti-inflammatory medicine for healing. The reverse side effects could result in to tumors, which is found it different parts of the body. This homepathic vitiamin is still be considered and unclassified drug. All I can say is I hope to God that this abscess I have isn't cancerous, or anything serious.
My final statement for anyone that read this is "Don't worry about the money, go through a real finance company, and a real good plastic surgeon".
I hope that by sharing my story that I will make a difference in the world for all the people that might make this huge mistake.
