Its Been a Long Time Coming... 37 year old, mother of 3, over 150lbs lost so far!

I have FINALLY found my surgeon! ! Dr Fiala was the 5th surgeon I had a consultation with. I was beginning to get very frustrated, and disheartened that maybe it just wasnt meant to be for me. But being hard headed and stubborn I refused to believe that, so I scheduled yet another consultation, this time with Dr Fiala. What a game changer!! He is very upfront and open about what the procedure will entail and how he achieves certain results I had questions about. He explained why certain pics ive seen have turned out the way they did and the steps he takes during surgery to prevent those things from happening. His staff was so kind and helpful. I feel extremely selfconscious about my body, I have a large amount of hanging skin on my abdomen,my mons pubis is large and hangs as well, my arms and arm pits have hanging skin and my breasts are saggy and asymmetrical. ..all of this from neglecting my body all of those years. I had reached 350 plus lbs ( Drs scale only went to 350 so I dont know what my heaviest really was) and kept it on for so long, as well as having 3 children during my weight gain, my weight just kept climbing after each pregnancy. I decided to get it together, eat healthful foods and exercise and have lost over 120lbs! I had such anxiety about going to my appointment because on his website it explains that he requires patients to be at a certain BMI before surgery ...I am currently above that and didnt want to be judged or scoffed at but Dr Fiala and his staff were awesome!!! I never felt uncomfortable or judged, they were all actually congratulating me on all my hard work and dedication and Dr Fiala told me that I should be extremely proud of myself. He listened to my concerns about my mons needing to be " normal" looking at the same time the tummy tuck was preformed because I couldnt handle having a flat stomach and still having a bulging mons! He said its a very common concern and during my examination he said he would lipo and remove the excess skin from my mons so It will be anatomically correct (finally :') !!) Because I am over the required BMI for surgery Dr Fiala and I agreed to reconvene after 4-6 months while I continue my journey and get to my goal which happens to be the BMI needed for surgery. I also loved the fact that everyone in the office was so kind to my husband because his feelings about all of this matter to me and he is my support system and recovery nurse! They sent me home with the most informative packet I have ever seen!! We also received a tour of the whole office and were shown the different rooms I will be in pre-op, the operating room, recovery room and post- op appointment room. They require an overnight stay after surgery with my own nurse there with me at all times!! What a wonderful experience, I am so happy I found them and feel such a sense of peace knowing that my search is finally over. I can get to my goal weight and Dr Fiala and I will check off the items on my surgery list as we go along!! My body will finally match the way I feel inside, which is young, sexy and vibrant!!
