Good morning Paula, I've have had alot of things done.... he really changed my life. Extended TT, with mons lift, muscle repair, hernia repair, relocation of the belly button, breast reduction/lift & lipo ( that was all my first surgery 6 years ago, I paid a $3500 upgrade fee with the Ohip coverage) now he is charging $ 5500. I later went on to get a thigh lift,upper blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty. ( all these were self pay) He is very kind and willing to work with Ohip which is a big help to fund what is covered. He needs to apply to Ohip and the approvals usually come in 4-6 weeks after. He has a very high approval rating ....If you get a Family Dr. refferal then the $150 consult fee is waved, or if you pay, it would then be deducted from any proceders you do with him. So you really only have your time and gas to loose. Good Luck
Hi again
I am just curious about your experience with Dr Elahi. What did you have done and did you pay extra?
Thanks so much
Paula
I found a doctor who is assisting me with getting started. I submitted my doctor's referral to him to get the OHIP covered panniculectomy

Hey!
Total newbie here - I don't use Facebook so I'm apparently missing out on what's happening in those groups..
I am post op 3 weeks and down 18.6lbs. I am still on full liquid diet for another week or so.. The things I have read on this forum have been so helpful! Any tips for continued success as I move into the soft/regular phase?
thanks!
I am SO sorry that you went through this. I too struggle with an ulcer. But it doesn't stop me from eating... and eating. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get healthier and better. God bless xoxo

I noticed that my surgery date is 2009, not 2011. I am not great with dates, never have been.
I had stomach ulcers that ruptured my pouch. I have to take a pill, twice a day for the rest of my life to reduce the acid in my pouch.
Before I had the rupture, I felt constantly sick to my stomach, pain, couldn't eat, and kept telling doctors about it. Not one listened. They still don't.
I go on ....with covid being here, it has gotten worse. Can't find my doctor anywhere. I guess people stopped needing medical attention.
Sorry for downer post, but there hasn't been any support from anywhere. That is why I posted. There are probably hundreds more like me, that need it also.
