Eliot Sieloff, M.D.
'I met Dr. Sieloff under rather trying circumstances. My surgery had actually been schedule with another surgeon who backed out 2 days before my scheduled date. To say that I was upset is an understatement. When I called his office and explained what happened and why

I went for my second plastic surgery consult.  When the surgeon was examining me and showing me approximately what my arms would look like after having the skin removed he told me I was tiny!!!!  I HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED TINY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!  Actually I told him that and he repeated that I was.  What I wanted to say was WOW I love you.  LOL  But thankfully I didn't!  I will hopefully find out the date for my lower body lift this week, it should be either the end of September or the beginning of October.  This will be done in conjunction with Dr. Sieloff repairing my hernia which is actually an incisional hernia from a previous surgery not my RNY.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to take the next step on this journey. 

As of today I have lost 134 pounds since surgery and 157 from my highest.  Overall I feel great.  My cholesterol was normal on my last blood test!  I was very excited with this news.  Of course some of the other numbers were a little off.  My liver function test was a bit high but from what I have researched that is not out of the norm for us.  Hopefully this won't prohibit me from having my plastic surgery.  That would suck especially since patience has never been my strong suit!
