sonobello Sonobello-not AT all what was expected, or was told to expect, they flat out lie!!! Sacramento California

Last year I decided to do something, I had been contemplating for a long, long time;Lipo. Im 45 and although not visibly overweight I could feel the extra weight slowly creeping on. So I scheduled a consultation for me and my daughter(who decided the procedure was not for her).The consultation went ok, It was quite a bit more $$ than I thought with the abdomen, hips, thighs, broken down into more areas and of course they charge per "area", and of course one area done without the other would look out of proportion, so I had a total of 7 or 8 areas scheduled to be sculpted, the consultant said the pain was minimal, the recovery was easy and you were awake during the surgery, easy. I Had saved up some money(seriously this was all my savings),stupid but thought it was worth it. I paid the 7900.00(approx..dont have the bill in front of me).

On the day of surgery I was asked to get there a little earlier because there was a cancelation, and I did get there early but not as early as requested. Again I was told the recovery is very quick and the pain is minimal. I was told a few times I would be awake throughout the entire procedure. I consulted with the nurse and Dr Hagstrom in Sacramento. I was looking at the before and after when he walked into the exam room and he stated, "well just remember, only the best go in the book" which was my first vibe of weirdness. During the exam I told him the sales consultant told me to tell him to sculpt around the knees. She said they usually have no problem with it, but he said "she told you that, I wish they wouldnt do that" To this day I dont know if he did or not. I got to the room where the actual surgery was done and I recall asking the nurse for a band to pull my hair back with. The nurse brought me the band, I pulled my hair back at approximately 2pm.

The next thing I knew, I woke up at 4am, home in my bed in the most horrific pain I had ever been in. I could not move...I laid there and screamed and cried until someone heard me from another room and assisted me to the bathroom. To put this pain in prospective I felt as if I had had a c-section without anesthesia and thrown to the shoulder from a moving vehicle(I had NO idea it would be this painful. I called the office and was told It was normal, I asked to refill my pain medication and was given one refill and told that was it., they only refill once The pain lasted for at the least a month and gradually wearing off, thank god I was not working at the time, because there was NO quick recovery.

I started following there suggested regimen to reap the maximum benefits. It has been about 12 months now and really just want to cry when I think about it. My thighs are asymmetrical and lumpy and I have lumps on my stomache. I did send an email to Sono Bello in Sacramento and got a pretty quick call from them. I spoke with Michael who essentially said , I was not getting my money back. I asked for the corporate number and he gave me the 1800 number for sonobello, Im pretty sure their corporate has a number. havnt called yet, will update if I do. Has  anyone been successful with refunds from thjs place. They promised a service they didnt deliver and I honestly just want some, not even all my money back.
