“I had a lap band placed and was able to keep off over 50#. But I still looked like a fat woman in the mirror. I’ve struggled with low self esteem all my life. I was proud of myself for the weight loss but when I saw myself in the mirror, that didn’t fit how I felt inside I scheduled a consultation and asked Dr. Ellen what she would fix if I gave her carte blanche to do whatever she thought I needed to look proportioned. She began explaining about my extra skin and fat that was on my abdomen, hips and thighs. I was shocked! I thought that was fat! After discussing the pros and cons with my husband and the doctor, I decided to do this for ME. I raised three successful children while my husband traveled for years with his job. Now it was finally my turn to do this for me. I was scared. I knew it would hurt. But I was determined to keep my eyes on the prize. The surgery went well and the pain was as I’d feared, but was skillfully managed by Dr. Ellen and her staff. When all the swelling was finally gone, the person I saw in the mirror I loved for the first time in my life! My journey to a healthy self esteem was finally over in my 50’s. I liked myself inside and now I loved myself on the outside as well! It is seriously the best thing I have ever done for myself. It has literally changed my life.”
