Tummy tuck w/ lipo of flanks, at Harlem Hospital

Harlem Hospital

Went yesterday to see if I can get new date and Dr. Morrison said no, I wasn't mentally ready the dates that I had scheduled with him before....it's cool I understand...he should at least sit with his patients and talk to them to see what's going on and to try and help them...however he is extremely rude with his patients at Harlem hospital.and I'm not the only one that has said this ..he has zero bedside manners...I wonder if he treats his patients at his private practice rudely???? Anyway, I have a new consultation with Dr. Ryan Engdahl. Looking forward to meeting him, I feel that I am mentally prepared to now go forward .

My PS now works in Dallas but did his fellowship at NYEE. With all your posts about changing dates and nerves I actually (in all kindness) question whether this is something you should be doing. We are all nervous before surgery but to keep cancelling and putting the date back makes me think there is something holding you back, more than nerves, that needs to be addressed. I am very happy to hear your surgeon had these doubts too, please use the time to fully address why you can't commit to the surgery as otherwise I can't see that if you go through it you will ever be truly happy with the outcome with all your doubts before the surgery. I really hope and prayer for a good outcome whether you have surgery or not.
Thank u for your concern, i want to do this but it's always the what if's....the surgeon didn't say no bc of my doubts, he didn't ask why or even say anything..he's has horrible bed side manners, from the first date of consultation up until now...and it wasn't something I said during the consultation, bc when u even try to ask something they he brushes u off, and I'm not the first to say this... he just said no bc I cancelled. It's more of a fear of anesthesia, and it's something that I have been wanting for a long time, it's not fear of the actual surgery or outcome.
I'm sorry but even I was reading your comments like omg! Are they going to let her keep changing her appt! Other ppl may have wanted those days and they couldn't fill it because it was taken already and then constantly changed. Just saying. I'm going to be a wreck too but it's either I do it or I don't. I don't expect them to just keep changing it over 3x's. Good luck on your journey.
Obviously I notified them way before surgery date that I was cancelling & when u cancel an appt the assistant calls patients that have scheduled surgeries to see if the want to come in on a date that someone else cancelled. And I wasn't expecting them to change my date a third time, that's why I went in to speak with him and his assistant and he said no, which I already expected bc I cancelled three times. u only get to see the surgeon day of consultation, and the day of surgery. So the day that I went in to speak to the assistant he happened to be there, and he when he told me no, I was at least expecting for him to ask why and maybe give me better guidance.
As my doctor that's what I was expecting because I am paying and he was the doctor to perform my surgery. I was expecting at least some concern from his part, even after saying no. And maybe i was looking for more reassurance because I was so anxious. And due to the anxiety I have decided I will do it when I'm mentally prepared to do so. Thank u
Good luck to u as well! I love seeing other women get the strength to move forward with their decision! It's a hard one that I wish I could easily just go through. I think my anxiety has to do more with the what ifs since I have my 3 year old and 14 year old and 21 year old. Lots of luck and positive vibes for u!
OMG I just cancelled my surgery that was scheduled for march 27th! I'm so mad at myself. I hate that I wasn't strong enough to go through it. How could I be so weak. Ugh I'm so regretting cancelling now. I want to email him back tmrw and say I'm coming in March 27th afterall. I don't know what to do. I'm a wreck!
If you don't mind me asking how much is a tummy tuck at Harlem hospital, right now I'm considering NYEE
Nyee is $4500 so I'm assuming Harlem should be in that range but call them they will tell you on. Good luck
I had a abdominal plastic surgery and full liposuction of my back I. 2016 December with Dr. Ryan at Harlem hospital it was the best thing I did. I can't thank him enough for giving me a jumpstart on my healthy lifestyle. And the price wasn't bad but, the hospital was the worst part the clinic anyway. Unorganized and lack of customer service however I wasn't there for them I was there for me I endured the mess. Now in the plastic surgery part the staff is on the money and professional. I want t ok return for my breast lift Dr. Ryan was great and so was the price.
Omg he’s my surgeon I get my tummy done in feb how are your results

NYEE

Has anyone recently had done a tummy tuck at New York EYE and EAR Hospital?

No but I had a breast reduction and it looks amazing
Yes I know they did A great job, but as u know they fellows rotate every year, so I was wondering if anyone did a tummy tuck with the fellow that's there now
Oh ok that's the only part that sucks I wish the dr who did my breast was still there cause his tummy tuck before and after pics were great
NYEE my second choice if Harlem decides to change my doctor of choice
what doctor you want to use at Harlem Hospital. I had an consultation there too early this year.
I originally thought of going to them for my lip, but was told I would need TT but didn't want TT at the time.

Hopefully....

November 14 i will be going in to get new date...i just hope and pray I can finally get this done, bc not doing it has gotten me real depressed. I hope to over come the fear that's holding me back, bc I am not happy with this belly or myself for not having the strength to go forward with the surgery before.
