10 Pounds of Skin Removed from my New Lifelong Friend, Dr Vinas

WORTH IT
Dr Vinas is absolutely amazing.
I was 300 pounds and got down to 175, got pregnant with my 3rd son and went to 199.
When I met with Dr Vinas initially it was for skin removal of my arms which turned into a consultation per my request of “what else can you do?!?”
He said he could get rid of my excess skin, FINALLY a literally physical and mental weight taken off of me. I met him on a Thursday and he said he could do it Monday!
Having 3 babies 3 and under I got all my ducks in a row and set forth with the most life changing surgery.
10 pounds of skin removed with my extended abdominalplasty with muscle repair, skin removal and lipo of my flanks and lipo of my upper back (wings).
I’m a bubbly, out there, no filter kind of girl (I’m only 26) and in pre-op I said to Dr Vinas “are you excited dr Vinas” and he smiled ear to ear “of course I am, I love what I do”
The next morning as I sat in a chair ready to see my body for the first time he walks in and I said “let’s see your work, are you ready” and he smiled and said “I’m always ready”.
He has the kindest light hearted personality that is exactly what I needed going through this.
Even when I called a million times over silly things like can I shave, or can I have a mudslide on my birthday his office staff and even himself are just laughing and loving towards me.
I can’t say I’ve had any pain at all. My right drain did fall out a little early so I had to have fluid pulled once but I didn’t feel anything at all, not even the pressure. And when he had to pull out my left drain tube I was standing there crying looking at the ceiling saying “just do it and don’t tell me!” And he’s chuckling and my mom was cracking up laughing and Dr Vinas says “hold here” and I say “oooo no I’m not helping you pull it out” and he says “hold here” and I’m still looking up I reach down and it’s gauze!! He had pulled it out the second I looked up and started crying.
Didn’t feel a thing and he was just the right amount of funny to make this whole experience amazing!
I’m 5 weeks post op and went from 199 pounds, had 10 pounds of skin removed and now I’m 185 pounds.
I’ve already got my quote for my rhinoplasty with him.
I won’t be trusting anyone else with my body.

I am 6 1/2 weeks post op, I’m down over almost 15 pounds, I look and feel great.
I’ve returned to working out, went back to nursing school, am taking care of my boys (3, 2 and 5 months) all on my own again and resumed sexual activity too!
I am forever grateful to Dr Vinas, I can’t wait to use him again in the near future!!
