Provider Review
I was so excited when I found out that there was a surgery that may help me live a healthier life, so I started investigating the surgeons in the GTA who perform tummy tucks. It turned out to be a fruitless and discouraging exercise. I was at a point where I had more or less given up the idea of having surgery, I was put off by so many surgeons telling me to come back when I had reached my ideal weight. I had a list of qualified and experienced surgeons that I had compiled and I'd exhausted every one of them. There were lots of surgeons in other countries who would take me as a patient but I didn't like the idea of being a medical tourist and leaving the comfort of Canada's health care system for my procedure. I am very happy that I happened to find Dr. Kasrai, but I did half expect to be met with a rejection before meeting with her. That wasn't the case, she didn't show any hesitation in taking me on and for that I'm very thankful. Her work has had a significant impact on my health and well being and I will now be able to enjoy my retirement as a fitter and healthier person. Dr. Kasrai was professional and amiable in all of her interactions with me. She gave me all of the information that I needed throughout the process and was always available if needed. She has an outstanding support team; her admin staff and her med students are first class and supported me every step of the way. Since I was considered a high risk, with complications of diabetes and high blood pressure my surgery needed to be performed in hospital, with a subsequent overnight stay to ensure I was OK. Other surgeons that I contacted don't have hospital privileges and perform surgeries from their office clinics. Being in a hospital setting was far more reassuring and looking back I'm very glad that none of the other surgeons would accept me. Dr. Kasrai seems to care about the work that she does and has a good philosophy to how she approaches her job. I didn't get the feeling that I was in a 'barbie doll' factory, her patients all looked like normal every day people and that gave me a lot of confidence in her. I have seen many before and after pictures where the patients looked disproportionate after surgery and I didn't want this - the rest of my body was still large and the last thing I wanted was to look comical. Dr. Kasrai was skillful and not overzealous in how she modified my appearance. Update: I'm now 3 months post op and have had a very good overall experience. I found that Dr. Kasrai schedules your follow up care depending on your needs, so everyone will be treated as required. If you do find that you're uncertain about anything, her and her team are always available to reassure, respond and answer questions. For my own situation I saw Dr. Kasrai 5 day post op and then weekly for a further 5 weeks. She felt that this was necessary due to my diabetes and delays in healing with this condition. She monitored my healing with a watchful eye and made sure I was following directions. I saw her for one monthly visit following those initial weekly visits and then I was discharged from her care; my wounds were all well healed. I joke that she broke up with me, but it did feel a bit like a break up in a way; having surgery is a road less traveled for most of us, it is both a traumatic and an emotional process and the follow up care I received was very reassuring, this group of very special people make you feel like a friend instead of a client and that's a very rare thing. Dr. Kasrai and her team remain open to any questions and necessary care even after being discharged and I appreciate this kind of diligence. My results are exactly what I was hoping for, the surgery had an immediate positive effect on my health and has kick started my goals towards a healthier more active lifestyle. Immediately following the surgery I was able to reduce my insulin by half. After eating a healthy low calorie diet for years, I'm finally seeing some weight loss too. I started this process in October 2018 at 278lbs. I weighed in for my consultation at 275lbs and today I'm 255lbs and still losing slowly and methodically. My surgery removed 13lbs from my hips and waist - combination of liposuction and excision and I have lost 3" off my hips and 4" off my waist. Best of all I feel far more energetic and don't have the physical restrictions that a large belly imposed on me. My blood pressure has dropped too and this week at my GP visit I'm expecting him to take me off blood pressure meds completely. Can i ask for more?; just a lottery jackpot, but somehow I still feel like a winner at this point.
