Throughout my life I struggled with constant weight changes as a result of poor eating habits resulting in a severe loss of muscle tone in my abdomen.

I haven't seen many people that got done what I did so I thought I would write a review. I had a flor de lis or inverse t panniculectomy or tummy tuck. My navel was placed but my muscles did not need tightening. I was 231lbs the day of my surgery down from my pregnant max of 286. I had a lot of... Read more

Awaiting surgery on june 25th, I am not sure what I will look like when the surgery is done, but I have heard Doctor Jubenburg is a great surgeon, I know his bedside manor was amazing and he sent my letter to OHIP and I was approved the first time. I suffer from Fibromyegi. My highest weight was... Read more

Hello my name is Starr. I have been battling the big belly for way to long. After stalking this site and harassing my cousin, I've finally decided to consult with my doctor and he agreed that I was in need of a Panniculectomy. So then I consulted with a surgeon that made me feel very comfortable... Read more

Had my panniculectomy on April 2, 2013 and couldnt be happier with my results. I did not have any muscle repair, strictly excess skin and fatty tissue was removed that hung below my belly button. A total of 15.5lbs was removed! My excess was classified as exercise resistant so no matter what I... Read more

After loosing 90 lbs (naturally) I decided it was time to get a panniculectomy. With plenty of research and questions I found that it was right for me. The first couple of weeks are very painful, but so worth it. No more saggy skin or uncomfortable sitting. I would recommend anyone to get one... Read more

Ok so March of 2012, I had circumferential tumescent lipo done to my full abdominal trunk. Because of the stretch marks below my navel from my pregnancy six years ago, my doctor told me that I would have loose skin in that area after the fat was removed. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love... Read more

I have met Dr Smaili and actually came across him by accident in my search.. But found out a few months ago that he performed the tummy tuck on my sister in law who could not stop bragging about the dr, so I believe its fate that I choose him to help me. At the early age of 20 I had a horrble... Read more

I worked really hard and lost 135 lbs through diet and exercise...Zumba Fitness! I had such extensive skin and flab in my abdominal area that I was so out of proportion. It was discouraging to have worked so hard and still be left with excess skin and flab. I went to see Dr. Capek after... Read more

The difference in the way I feel about myself is incredible at just 3 days post-op. I had my first child while I was still a teenager, and he weighed 9 lbs. My abdomen stretched so that it never would tighten up at all, even after 100 lb weight loss and exercise. I have lived with a very sagging... Read more

I do not have pictures yet. I had a hanging stomach from pregnancy and from being so over weight for so long. I am going to be 60 in August and thought I would rather be gone with this now than to wait for weight loss that has not happened the last 30 years. I have always weighed over 200 lbs... Read more
