After nearly two years of diet and exercise, I lost 80 pounds. Most people that have this procedure done are female; I am a male that that recently turned 50 years of age. I researched many doctors and as well had a recommendation of a different doctor from a coworker. Although my coworker recommended their doctor, I was still not convinced that that doctor was not right for me. After looking through nearly one hundred before and after pictures of patients of several local surgeons, the one surgeon that had consistently good “after” pictures was performed by Dr. Erella with Aspira Plastic Surgery.
I set up a consultation with Dr. Erella and asked him many questions. Because I was basing a lot of my initial decision to choose Dr. Erella to be my surgeon from pictures and reading testimonies, I was slightly skeptical that they may have put their best before and after pictures on their website. I asked him if I could see other examples. He pulled out his computer and with complete confidentiality, no names or faces; just folders, he said pick one. He opened the folder up, showed the before and after pictures. I did this with five or six random folders, each one just as remarkable as the previous.
He asked me to show him what I wanted to have done and after doing so, we had very long discussion about what the procedures would be, how long it would take, the time of recovery and all of the follow-up procedures. He was very thorough and all the while, I was getting more comfortable with the decision I was about to make. After talking to Dr. Erella for over an hour, I was absolutely convinced; he was the right surgeon for me.
He and his staff provided everything I needed to prepare me for my surgery date. They told me exactly what to expect, where to go, what time, what to wear, procedures, everything; all the while making me feel like family. They truly are amazing people besides Dr. Erella being an amazing surgeon. Dr. Erella’s staff members are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. Every time I would see them, they were exceedingly kind.
When a doctor tells you that you can call any time, Dr. Erella means it. A few days after surgery I thought I was having a complication and I began to panic. Unfortunately it was 3:00 am. I called his office number and got his answering service. They contacted Dr. Erella. He called me back within a few minutes. I explained my symptoms and he assured me that it was normal and for me not to be concerned. I had a follow-up visit a couple of days later and apologized for calling him at an unruly hour. He said not worry about it and if I had any other issues, don’t hesitate to call. He really is there for his patients, day, nights and holidays. Yes, he even followed up with me around Christmas time. Amazing.
It’s been a little over five months since my surgery and let me tell you, I am so incredibly pleased with the results. The first few weeks is not a vacation but bearable. You must have someone there to help you up and down out of your chair and bed for the first 1 ½ weeks. To me, it was well worth the money, time and the slight discomfort I had which I’ve nearly forgotten about already.
I want to thank Dr. Erella and his wonderful staff for this great change in my life. Thank you!
