Only in my widlest dreams could I have imagined life-changing results
If you are interested in the other procedures I had done, please visit my profile to access my detailed reviews on all of my procedures. It has been a labor of love to detail my experience here on RealSelf. My reviews have helped a great many patients to realize the possibilities, that they can take control of their health and their lives -- and yes, that dreams really do come true.
I hope that you will follow your dreams. Your life belongs to you and you are going to live it only once, not twice or more.

It is a work in progress but lots of photos are up at this point. My wish is to inspire people to defeat obesity and live a life they love! I've attached a few photos from My Bariatric Life on Flickr and you may view my other reviews on RealSelf to see others.
You have within you what it takes to succeed!

Provider Review
Dr. Capella is the top plastic surgeon for post-bariatric and massive weight loss patients. He is an innovator and pioneer in the field and has one of the largest experiences in the world having performed more than 10,000 body contouring procedures. He truly excels at sculpting beauty from gobs of fat – not only am I living proof of that but also check the many hundreds of patient photos on his website who are living proof, too! I promise you that if anyone can make your body look good, it is Dr. Capella. I went from a size 14/16 to a size 8 in only 3.5-mos after my tummy tuck! Then less than 6-weeks after my 2nd stage surgery upper/lower body lift and thigh lift, I was a size 4! And at 4.5-mos post op I was in size 2 jeans. You may read about my body lift experience here: http://www.realself.com/review/ramsey-nj-medial-thigh-lift-lbl-arm-lift-flankplasty-breast-lift-monsplasty#/entry-form It was a wild emotional roller coaster ride for me but when I had fears and concerns Dr. Capella was always gentle and calming and gave me all the time in the world, never once trying to hurry me through an exam or on a phone call. Dr. Capella has always made himself available to me, whether in the wee hours of the morning, or the weekend, and even on his lunch break. I have always felt safe in his care before, during, and after surgery. I could not go to any other plastic surgeon for my body contouring.
