There are not enough stars to rate Dr Maffei. He has been incredible throughout my entire journey and my journey is not over. I first met Dr.Maffei in March of 2023. He was highly recommended by a friend of mine. My first visit, I quickly learned that he has a passion for what he does and really wants the best for his patients. I’ve also learned that each patient is their own individual case. Nobody is the same and he listens to what they want.
After my initial meeting with Dr. Maffei, I understood that I was a candidate for the Sleeve Gastrectomy. He explained thoroughly what it would entail and the preparation it would require on my end to be eligible. I have to admit… I was always that person who would say “just hit the gym… don’t be lazy”. Dr. Maffei made me comfortable with excepting the idea to the bariatric world.
My Sleeve Gastrectomy was scheduled for August 31, 2023 and there was a lot that had to be done until then. His staff, nutritionists, nurses, receptionists, etc… all helped me stay organized with my appointments and focused.
The procedure went very well, with no complications, and I returned home and back to work very quickly. My procedure took place on a Thursday and I was back to work by Monday. Keeping up with my appointments with Dr. Maffei and the nutritionist made the recovery much easier. Each time I met with them I learned something new and how lifestyle changes would promote success. I lost about 80 pounds in a year and loved watching the weight shed overtime (refer to photos). I enjoyed the positive feedback from friends and family, and I thought this was it! I finally was happy.
But I wanted more. When looking in the mirror I realized there was something that just wasn’t right. I explained to Dr. Maffei that although I shed the weight, I was frustrated with my stomach (refer to photos). He immediately knew what I needed. He suggested that since I was suffering from a small hernia, he recommended a ventral hernia repair and tummy tuck/abdominoplasty. With the trust that was built over the year in Dr. Maffei, I trusted his professional advice. We spoke about it a few times. Each visit he would say the same thing. Never did he get frustrated with my repetitive questions. He was super patient with me and my curiosity. I finally scheduled my tummy tuck for November 22, 2024.
There was a lot to be done and my procedure was longer than most. I did stay overnight in the hospital, and that was by choice, but happy I stayed. The recovery was much more lengthy than the sleeve, and I was told it would be. There were no surprises. Dr. Maffei and his team explained that this was going to be about a two week recovery process. I thought they were crazy and believed I would return to work quickly. Listen to your body! I took it one day at a time and returned to work two weeks later. My tummy tuck was scheduled for a Friday morning, and Dr. Maffei personally called me to check in on me within hours. His open communication is unlike any other. He encouraged me to call or text anytime. That meant even when he was hunting 20 feet high from a tree somewhere out in Iowa (no joke)!
I am 4 weeks out from the tummy tuck and feel great. I communicate with his previous patients for support, and continue to meet with the nutritionist. In addition, Dr. Maffei networks with other professionals to assist in the recovery process like lymphatic drainage massage therapists. He is very knowledgeable not only about the process, but the lifestyle thereafter. He is a doctor/artist. Dr. Maffei is the Picasso in the athletic body contouring world. He is amazing at what he does and I would hands down recommend him without having to research any further. He has changed my life and the life of many others.
