The story of her BBL surgery really moved me. She could help a lot of people. But she had one problem. “I don't have credibility” A couple years prior to our convo, she had a life changing event. “Once I get the BBL, tummy tuck, and liposuction, everything will be okay” She was going for all 3 procedures at the same time. To make this happen, she found a doctor who could do the work cheaply. The doctor’s office was 1,000 miles away. The facility probably averaged 12 surgeries per day. The plan was to have the surgeries, rest at a recovery home, and head home as soon as possible. The day of the procedures everything seemed normal. Just after the operations, she complained of pain to the doctor. He just rushed her off. He had more patients to serve. Her priorities were getting home and getting healed. Next stop was the recovery home. That’s where people monitor the healing process after surgery. At the recovery home, she started to help other women deal with their post surgery healing. The other patients trusted her more than the staff. In truth, helping other patients distracted her from the pain post surgery. While on the phone with her husband, she started to feel weak. Her body fell to the ground. She was unconscious for over 3 minutes. When she woke up, all she heard were screams. Nobody took her vitals. Nobody was CPR certified. Nobody was prepared. After 24 hours, she left the recovery facility. For 3 days, she went to a hotel and figured out how to take care of herself. After a week, she learned that a woman died doing the same 3 procedures. That life-threatening experience inspired her to start a company to help people pre and post surgery. When it was time to expand her practice - she didn’t know what to do. “I have no credibility”. I told her, “Your story is your credibility” Over time she became more comfortable sharing her experience and helping people safely navigate the process. Today, there are people going to unlicensed doctors to get elective surgery These folks figure that the lower cost is worth the risk They are often uneducated about the pre and post surgery Ashanti Mack is helping these people get home and healed - safely. Please show her some love in the comments.
