3 months post-op and this procedure has transformed my life

My experience with Dr Ellis Choy was nothing short of incredible. From the initial phone call to book through to my fantastic results at 3 months post op, I have nothing but praise and gratitude for Dr Choy and his team. My decision to have a tummy tuck and umbilical hernia repair was due to my disappointment in my physical appearance following the birth of my three children. Pregnancy had left me feeling extremely self-conscious about my saggy “kangaroo pouch” stomach, even when I was in the best athletic shape of my life. I couldn’t wear tight dresses due to an unsightly hernia which would bulge through my clothes, and swimsuits were a nightmare. As a single mother, I also felt too scared to enter the dating scene because I lacked confidence about my stomach. I did extensive research about the surgical process, recovery, and best surgeons in the Sydney region and finally felt it was the best timing to go ahead with a tummy tuck. I had narrowed it down to three surgeons and the first appointment I had was with Dr Choy. From the initial consultation I knew I’d be in incredible hands so I booked and paid the deposit on the day! I could tell Dr Choy was driven by the results he created for his clients and their improvement in confidence and quality of life. Dr Choy was very thorough in his consultation, and his team were so kind and helpful. On the day of surgery, Dr Choy met me at Castlecrag Private Hospital and I felt very trusting and excited. The nurses were phenomenal, and the room was like a hotel! As a usually busy mother, the recovery time in hospital felt more like a relaxing getaway than a hospital stay. The pain was manageable, and the physiotherapists visited daily to help me become more mobile. After three nights in hospital, I had the drains removed and returned home. Again, the pain was minimal and I had stopped all pain medication by day 5 post-op! I did struggle with not being able to stand straight but after 2 weeks I was grateful to be almost completely upright. In the post-op period, I saw Dr Choy in his rooms and again, he and his team were so gentle, supportive, and kind. I am currently 3 months post-op and my wound has healed completely and I’m very grateful to have returned to my exercise routine! But most importantly, Dr Choy has transformed my life! My wardrobe is now filled with the beautiful, tight, silky dresses I longed to wear for years, and I’m so excited for bikini season as my scar is completely hidden in most bikinis. I can even wear cute activewear sets without a baggy t-shirt over the top to hide my rounded tummy and hernia. Oh, and I’ve been on a few dates for the first time in years and am glowing with confidence! Thank you again, Dr Choy!
