28 Years Old, Breast Reduction, Abdominoplasty - Birmingham, MI

Firstly I want to start by saying Dr Ellen's Office, Staff and everything is absolutely amazing. They are really there to work with you and meet your goals. Every phone call was polite and informative. During my consultation it was really great. Meghan the practice manager was funny and she gave me a lot of information. She makes sure you leave with everything you need and she leaves the line of communication open for any questions after you leave. Next another Meghan she was the medical coordinator I believe and she explained the procedures, she made drawings on the screen, she explained the entire process and offered advice. Dr Ellen came in afterwards and she was great as well. I've been to other surgeons for consult and by far Dr Ellen was heaven sent her and her staff. She didn't turn me away she wants what you want and if she can't she will make sure you are satisfied. I talked about goals and reasons why and I just wanted my life back. They all understood. Dr Ellen took measurements and she explained everything and talked to me about having everything done. Once she left I met Sharon the insurance manager. She was so welcoming and people they are all really there to assist you. She made sure I understood how the insurance worked what was covered and what I could do. Bridgette she does the scheduling she will probably be the first contact you have she was great too. She offered me the soonest dates and put them on hold so I had the next day to get finances together. They also offer different finance options other then cash, insurance, they have a selection of different options. I applied and was approved and I called and booked my appointment the very next day. Dr Ellen results are amazing in her previous patients and they also give you an account on this website that lets you see past patients and read their stories. I will keep everyone updated about my surgery. Im excited!

So my surgery is set! 10/17/16 and I couldn't be more happy. I feel almost like it'll be another birthday. To the old me because I don't feel like myself in this body of mine. It's been a rough journey and I don't have a ton of support either. My mom she's gonna be there but she doesn't really think I have to do it, but she has big boobs too. My family I'm sure there will be those who don't agree or who say lose weight, stop being lazy not even knowing underlying issues. At this point I no longer care I'm doing this for me because I want and need it.

Anywho I was told I have Pcos like 2 years ago and that began such a difficult struggle with weight. Now I was always thick/curvy and I had a pouch but it progressively got worse and now I'm here. This site has helped so much with nerves. And knowing what to expect and pointers. I'm now trying to get a list together of things I need, I need to find a vitamin or vitamins that will help and a good compression garment because I don't really like the binder they give that much.

I found some good multi vitamins at Walgreens and they were but one get one free. So that was a plus. I've been getting things little by little. I still need to find a good faja or waist trainer or whatever it is. I'm just super excited and ready for the back problems neck problems to be gone and the weight lifted off my shoulders literally.
