-Let's talk about your weight loss journey. What were your limitations before losing weight and what motivated you to make a change?
-Betty: I had always been overweight and it started affecting my energy levels and daily activities. I decided it was time to lose weight, so I underwent surgery and lost about 120 pounds. I felt better physically, but I wasn't happy with how my body looked.
-How did you learn about the options for surgery? Did you consult with your doctor or research online?
-Betty: I did most of my research online and also heard about you through a friend and a family member who had surgery with you.
-Let's talk about the consultation process. How did you decide which procedures to undergo?
-Betty: We discussed all the options, but I focused on the areas of my body that bothered me the most. I started with my arms, then moved on to other areas over time.
-Can you briefly describe the different surgeries you had and how the recovery process was for each?
-Betty: I had an extended brachioplasty for my arms, a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty for my abdominal area, a thigh lift, and a facial procedure. Each surgery had its ups and downs, but overall, I'm happy with the results. The recovery time varied for each surgery, but I was back to my regular activities within a few weeks to a couple of months.
-How has your life changed since the surgeries?
-Betty: I have more energy, feel better about myself, and have an easier time finding clothes. My health has improved, and I no longer need certain medications. I have no regrets about undergoing the surgeries.
-What advice would you give to someone who is considering weight loss surgery but is nervous or unsure?
-Betty: I would encourage them to take the plunge. It's a life-changing experience that is well worth it. I would also recommend having a support system in place during the recovery process. I'm always willing to talk to anyone who wants to learn more about my experience.

Weight Loss: 200lbs
Procedure: Circumferential Body Lift + Augmentation Mastopexy
-Let's start by talking about your weight loss journey. How were things before you lost weight and what motivated you to make the decision to lose weight?
-Robin: Before losing weight, my mobility was affected, I had little energy, and I was going into heart failure. I reached a point where I had to take control of my health. Losing weight was the best decision I made.
-How did you go about losing the weight?
-Robin: I started by walking a little further each day and then purchased an elliptical machine. I also switched to a plant-based diet, which accelerated my weight loss. I lost over 100 pounds within a year.
-Then you decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery, right?
-Robin: Yes, I was weight listed for the surgery and decided to proceed as a safety net. I lost an additional 80 to 90 pounds through surgery.
-Can you describe the challenges or concerns you had with your weight loss?
-Robin: The rapid weight loss after surgery led to loose skin, which was a concern for me. My midsection was hanging low and my breasts were sagging, causing discomfort and embarrassment.
-How did you go about finding a solution for the loose skin?
-Robin: I researched different surgeons and contacted several clinics. Many didn't offer the specific procedures I needed. I found your clinic online and received a quick response. The kindness and professionalism made me choose your clinic.
-Can you tell me about the consultation process and how you made the decision to proceed with the surgery?
-Robin: The consultation process was great. We discussed my priorities and goals. The option to have all the procedures done in one surgery was a no-brainer for me. I felt confident in the decision after meeting with the consultants.
-You underwent a circumferential body lift and an augmentation mastopexy. How was the surgery and recovery compared to your expectations?
-Robin: The surgery and recovery were much smoother than I anticipated. I didn't require much pain medication and the healing process was quick. I was able to return to work and resume normal activities within a few weeks.
-How has your life changed since the surgery?
-Robin: I feel much more comfortable in my body. I no longer feel self-conscious and can enjoy activities like going to the beach without worry. It has made a significant positive impact on my everyday life.
-If someone in a similar situation reached out to you for advice, what would you tell them?
-Robin: I would share my experience and encourage them to take control of their health. I would recommend finding a supportive and professional clinic like yours to help them through the process.
