Sono Bello Indianapolis — Attraction in Indianapolis

I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but this is necessary. I was very excited to get my procedure done, and I had concerns prior to and after the surgery. Prior to the surgery, I don't recall anyone telling me that I would only be seeing nurses/other staff for my 2-3 week follow up appointments. I was expecting to meet with my doctor who operated on me because that would make me feel more comfortable vs seeing other people who I never met before who didn't come off like they had the knowledge/expertise to inform me about my body. I'm not even sure if the young ladies were nurses; they seemed more like interns or assistants to me. In addition, I had developed a seroma, and a totally different doctor drained it instead of my doctor. I was not really happy with what I was seeing on my body, and I just really wanted to see my doctor, so I could get what I believe would be better feedback about my progress/situation. When I told one of the young ladies that I wanted to see the doctor, she told me that I could schedule an appt with him, but it wasn't how they normally did things and that patients usually are scheduled to see their doctor several months post-surgery for the final appt. I wanted to see him earlier, so I scheduled the appt. Fast forward, I missed the appt because after thinking about it, I thought that maybe I should be more patient with the process and just wait to see how my body progressed over the next 2-3 months until the final appt. Months go by, and I called in to get confirmation about my final appt date and time, and there was no appt for me in the system. It made me feel upset because I already felt uncared for due to not having a proper connection/repore with my doctor; I only spoke with my doctor once after my operation, and it was because I reached out to staff with a concern, and he returned my call. I inquired to the "manager" as to why there wasn't an appt for me, and as I can recall, she said they don't schedule appts after no call, no shows. However, that final appt had already been scheduled. Furthermore, I requested the earlier appt, so I don't understand why my missing that appt would affect the later appt. The manager went on to say that I "demanded" to see the doctor. I guess she wanted to make the point that I was a no show after "demanding" to see the doctor. Her comment made me think that maybe my final appt was canceled out of spite. Also, I'd like to add that her using the word demanded offended me because it's my right to see my doctor; the person who operated on my body. And there's a way you're supposed to talk to customers, and saying that I "demanded" to see my doctor wasn't it; it was unprofessional and inappropriate. I asked her why a reminder text/email was not sent out. I've always known that to be standard practice with physicians, etc. The manager told me that they don't send out reminders; they expect their patients to be accountable for keeping up with appts, and she also said that doctors are booked with surgery appts, which is why they have it set up for patients to see so called nurses until the final appt, which is 6 or more months later. Honestly, her feedback made me feel more uncared for and like their organization only cares about money and not providing their patients with excellent care. A "doctor" should care about their patients, and it should reflect in their actions. I don't like the process, and if I would've known that the doctors go incognito after surgeries prior to my surgery, I would have went somewhere else. Also, the manager must not have ever heard of the phrase, "The customer is always right". Customers are not held to a certain standard but businesses are; I don't have to worry about bad reviews or losing business. The manager needs to work on maintaining a professional attitude with patients (without patients, there would be...

Being less than two weeks post op, I am almost as high speed as I was prior to the procedure! Doctor Amde and the beautiful nurses whom have supported my journey to sculpting my abdomen have been a major blessing in my all belly, no shape torso! I have a sculpted waist and a flatter stomach. Though still recovering with the expected abdominal swelling and slight unevenness of healing tissues; I have applied the supplies arnica and self-massaged my way to a better result at this date in the game! Had I not been proactive to heal with their guidance, and not worn the compression garment diligently; I’m not so certain I would look as sleek as I do now. (And it’s only been 11 days)! Procedure day was a distant memory with the meds putting me into a snoring sleep; (sorry ladies, ha ha!) My best partner of a spouse brought me home, where I promptly slept off the meds for almost 11 hours. (I am not accustomed to medicine, so this was not expected nor unexpected). The next two days I was sore and used the prescribed medicine as indicated, and all drainage had stopped about 48 hours post procedure. Hint: When first changing your bandages, have your partner help you do so in the shower- it makes for an easier process. Set up your replacement bandages BEFORE you step into the shower to be able to replace them expeditiously post 24 hour shower. I was off the meds personally by the following Monday night (my procedure was Friday), and stuck to the remaining arnica tablets and Tylenol if needed.

I am on stage two compression now, have some slight bruising from the massaging of expected uneven tissue, and the incision scars are being personally treated with vitamin E and time. I expect to look FANTASTIC in the next 2-6 months at the conclusion of this journey with Sono Bello. I wish I had done this years ago, but am glad I waited as the procedure wasn’t available earlier!

As a gym rat, dancer, runner, and Pilates enthusiast; I have always struggled with the excess belly flab that never left. I can’t wait to get back to the gym in the next month and sculpt the abs so close to the surface that I’ve been dreaming of!

Standby for words ladies and gentlemen; this is only the beginning: The best is yet to come!

Don’t wait, and don’t doubt yourself or the staff. Have faith in the journey, be patient and obedient....

I had already had 2 cesareans and they were both debilitating. To have a TT would mean I would be down for quite some time. I knew that I was in for a long road w/o one, but I know myself and what I am capable of so I didn't get a TT, but I did go in for lipo. As I continue, on my journey I see that I am going to have to continue to work on some tough areas, soreness, as I am in quite a bit of pain. This is ok with me because I want to have some part in my change without being in any major pain. The results aren't finalized just yet as I am only 2weeks into this new journey. Sono Bello is helping me to achieve what I thought was impossible at this time in my life. Thanks to the team at Sono Bello for being encouraging and I hope in the future there is more improvements to my choice as I bring the first 2 weeks to a close. #keepitmoving 2021 update: So, so glad I took the road I did. I'm paying more attention to my health & I feel 👍 good. I would have to thank many people in my life. For the, significance of self care and the standards someone will take to achieve this. It is outstanding. I stretch more & meditate easier as a result of changing a little at a time. 2022 update: Minor setback with my journey due to getting sickly I ate unhealthy and as a result I got a bit of weight gain which was good because I was losing weight but the definition and tone was not fitting or healthy too. So, I started this journey over 300 ods, I had to loose 40pds to have the surgery which I did obviously and now I am @ about 167 pds. The surgery alleviated about 17 pds of browns however the rest of my journey was all me 🤌🏾😊😊😊 I am happier and healthier to know I am almost nearing my goals weight and will begin my 2nd phase of changing my health and image wisely. Again thanks to SB for the kick start! Mid year 2022: lost my gain accordingly. Now time to tone. The pics show that it is not easy alone but with safe guidance you can have a healthy and successful weight...
