Surgeon Testimonial Monte Schwartz, M.D. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Schwartz as my surgeon. He is confident, knowledgeable and caring and I highly recommend him. I only saw him once before surgery and didn’t have many questions because I’d done so much research on this. My surgery happened within 10 days of seeing him (I was self-pay and was able to get the tests done quickly). He has a structured aftercare program, which I like. I feel better knowing what I’m supposed to do each day. It takes the guess-work out of things for me. His office staff is friendly, caring and efficient. I liked them. They made me feel welcome from the moment I called to make an appointment. And Karen, his nurse coordinator . . . phenomenal. Very caring, friendly and knowledgeable. I love her!

Post-LBL Update
Well, I had plastic surgery on May 6th - LBL. I kept worrying that something would happen to keep me from having surgery, sinus infection, cold, etc. I don't know why I worried about this so much, but I did. Nothing happened and the surgery went without a hitch. The surgery itself only lasted 3.5 hours - less time than normal for these. I didn't have any hernias and my stomach muscles were already tight, so the doc didn't have to do any repair work . . . woohoo! That made recovery easier. I'm not saying recovery was easy, though. The first week pretty much sucked. The drains were the worst part. Once they came out the next week, things started going uphill. The stitches came out after about 2 weeks and that helps, too. I continue to heal well and have lost 9 pounds since the morning of my surgery. That puts me 2 pounds from my GBP surgeon's goal of 134! If I stay at around 136, I'll be happy with that. I didn't try on regular clothes for about 10 days after surgery and they are loose on me. I haven't had an excessive amount of swelling, though there certainly has been some. The body shapers I'm wearing really help. I have to wear them 24/7 for another month, at least. I'm getting used to them and may have to wean myself off them later on . . . lol. I'm thrilled with the results I've seen so far. The bruising and scabs are almost gone and I look better and better as time goes by. I think my surgeon did an excellent job. I'm at a stage where I'm happy I had this done. 0 Comment(s)
