I got my tubes tied on 10/20, and developed a hard lump to the right of my navel a few days later. I went to my follow up appointment and the doc wrote out a script for a CT scan to see if it's a hematoma, hernia, or something else. I have no pain, although it's uncomfortable to lie on my right side. Public health (whom I got my tubal through) says this is completely unprecedented and they're having to consult supervisors that won't be in their offices for a few days ... meanwhile the doc who did the follow up wanted me to have the scan done yesterday (11/1) and the supervisors to deal with it are unavailable.
I can't be the only one to develop a complication after surgery.
And please don't do the "You get what you pay for" crap. That's applied to goods and services that can written off and forgotten about. Health care has life-long consequences and cannot be summed up as "Oops, sorry about that, your quality of life is gone, sucks to be you." Because I do know a medical lawyer that will sue them for incompetence, and I have a long list of grievances against both the hospital surgeon and the clinic in how they have dealt with me through this whole process.
