I had Smart Lipo done by Dr Odell. He is a nice person but I had horrible experience with Smart Lipo. My first time I was feeling pain during procedure. Day after procedure I called Dr around 8am saying I can not seem to use bathroom and might be having UTI. Dr assured that can not be possible and called in prescription for muscle relaxer etc. Suffering through all day multiple calls to Dr, I ended up going to ER 1am for almost ruptured bladder. I was having side effect of urine retention with one of the pain meds. I had to wear cathetar for 3 days. 4 months later, results were not nearly good so Mary suggested to go second round as most patients have to do Lipo second time for discount price. I told Dr I want to make sure I don't feel pain during procedure and don't end up in ER again. He said he will give me different paint medicine. During procedure (second time) I remember complaining to him multiple times I'm really hurting. He said to his nurse give her half zanax. I did not have anxiety issue, I was feeling REAL PAIN. I kept telling me, you won't remember any of this. I felt so helpless and remember wiping my tears during procedure. I spoke with Dr next day, did you give me any pain medicine. He said, he gave pain meds to my husband for post op. I asked did you give me any pain medicine before or during procedure especially when I was complaining? He said no since I had reaction last time. My issue is if I told Dr I had pain during first procedure, during second procedure he gives me NO pain medicine? So, now after spending close to $12,000, almost ruptured bladder, pain during 2 surgeries, I DO NOT recommend this center for Lipo. read more
