Ernest Manders, MD

This Dr. as of now was spot on. He said, There wouldn't be to much pain after my surgery. He was definitely right on that account. He came in before my surgery and stated that the night before he was studying my pictures and said he really thought that a midline incision would benefit me. I"m only 2 weeks out and haven't needed my pain meds in the last week. I never had much pain and only took them due to hearing how much pain would be involved. As of this time I am real happy with his totally great patient care!! A Surgeon who knows his stuff. I so far believe this procedure was so very worth it. THANK YOU DR. ERNEST K. MANDERS

Well, my friends I had my 3 week follow up yesterday. My PS was so impressed with my healing, he said look at this you are flat. He took 2 more pictures. Lol. And I'm cleared to resume my exercise. He told me that my skin weighed 10 plus #'s. I'm still swollen and he had to remove some old blood from my right side, he gave me a Lidocaine shot that was the worse. Since my surgery I've lost 7#'s. He told me that my body will move the tissue around and I can expect swelling up to 3 months. What a great guy!!!! He always says I have a amazing strong body and that I'm ahead of the game in healing! Following your journey. Keep on keeping on!!!

I go to Coos Bay on September 22nd. I'm beyond thrilled with my Panni, I only wish my PS would have told me that my upper stomach would still be a little bit bigger than I wanted. But all is good otherwise. At first I didn't want to have my breastfeeding lift done...now I'm really thinking about it. At the same time or even just for my upper stomach I think I want a tummy tuck with muscle repair. We will see. I'm going to think about this I can't do it right now and I need to save up the money because the insurance company usually don't cover these kind of operations. Even tho they don't I'm totally ok with this. My insurance company has done far more than I expected. All in all Dr. MANDERS is the one that I will go to. He is a excellent Surgeon! !! Thank's again Dr. MANDERS

Well, I seen my PS for my last check up. I thought I needed something more for my upper stomach, we talked and he said I did not need more skin removal, due to it being so tight. I need some Liposuction done. He reassured me that if I decided to get a Breast Lift he would do my Lipo at the same time with no extra cost!!!! He stated that these are happy Surgery's, and that he wanted me to be happy not stressed. I think I found a jewel in this Dr. Now to save the money. It will be next fall before I can afford to do it. He said the cost for both would be 6,000 to 7000 dollars. Since having 10 plus #'s removed it's so much better and I can wait for the other.
