I have researched this for the last 6 months. After gaining 100 pounds with an autoimmune disease and having lost 95 of it. I was left with excess skin and a body that didn't feel like mine.I spoke to over 6 doctors- consultations online and everyone sounded great, professional and like they would do a great job.But I would look at the pictures and some of the doctor seemed like they were more hype . Some doctors had many reviews but no one posted pictures . I found the 2 biggest complaint were :their expectations and the doctors were different or they didn't feel the doctor had their back post surgically. I wanted to avoid both things. Dr Peter Fisher spoke to me on the phone. I didn't see him face to face but the warmth, caring, and the excitement at doing the surgeries and wanting an excellent result was evident and his pictures showed his excellent results. I spoke to two patients ,spoke to him a number of times and was totally comfortable that he was the best surgeon and definitely the best choice for me. My surgery is tomorrow at 7 a.m. and I think I miss prepared is I'm going to be.

I wanted to wish you best wishes for your surgery tomorrow! Are you going to be admitted to the hospital for at least a day or two after surgery? Looking forward to seeing your updates! So happy for you and glad that you have a doctor that you feel comfortable with!

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. An infection after surgery, MRSA and a 8 day stay in a Chicago hospital 6 weeks later. I had to go to a wound care center due to incisions not closing. I'm still in the process of doing that. But still no regrets and eventually this will be over. Dr. Peter is to me the best doctor you could have. Always responds, and supports me all the way through this post op. You can't buy that kind of personal attention and caring. It will be beautiful when it's done and I'm very optimistic. I placed my trust in the perfect doctor.
PS I thought the hospital was abysmal, neglectful,dangerous and I would try never to go in there again. I did use a private nursing company that I was very happy with.

I'm so sorry that this all happened to you. I had my LBL, arm lift & breast lift with Dr. Fisher on February 16th & so far, so good. I stayed 3 nights in the hospital & the first night's care was phenomenal but the other 2 days weren't so great. I'm SO sorry that you had MRSA. My thoughts & prayers are with you! Gentle hugs to you.
