The doctor did a wonderful job!!! I had an abdominoplasty, lipo, and an inner thigh lift done on Oct. 17, 05. His office staff is wonderful and did everything they could to get as much covered by insurance. The surgeon did a wonderful job of stitching and was a wonderful early bird at the hospital. He responded within minutes to any of my needs and I would recommend his office to anyone!!!!
His stitching was superb. Unfortunately, 6 weeks after having the pannis removed and hernia repair, I was in an automobile accident. THe accident caused the hernia work to be undone. Several months later I went back to have this repaired and get my arms done. THe arms were great. THe hernia re-repair got infected and I was sick from 2/9/2003 thru 5/1/2003. I had an open wound from 3/1 until 4/21. I think the problem is with the antibiotics and the bypass operation. I don't believe we absorb medicines as someone who never had WLS. The doctors don't seem to understand us. During one of the hospital stays to get the infection under control, I was visited by an infectious disease doctor and we discussed my hypothesis. He thought it had some merit, but was unsure of how to help. Antibiotics via IV seemed to do the trick.
