I wanted to thank you for the amazing results I have experienced with the procedures you have performed for me. I am extremely pleased with the proficiency and skill in which you have executed your craft as a plastic surgeon. I also wanted to acknowledge the professionalism and courtesy extended to me by your staff.

Dear Dr. Jabs:

We want to really thank you and your entire staff for all you did. When my wife decided to go through the procedure, she had interviewed several other surgery centers. However when we visited your office, you have stood out immediately among all others, your help and support in our decision making was unmatched. We were so confident and knew we have a master to perform, this complicated and delicate procedure. ...

The detail of your work and continuous follow ups, during and after surgery were truly an experience one hardly experiences in today's busy world. Efficiency accompanied by courtesy is a rare combination that you and your staff have demonstrated was very impressive because of its rarity.

Your efforts aimed toward making this a major success, was well founded.

Again we want to express our sincere gratitude and thank you for a job well done.

About four years ago I used to be obese man_ weighing over 350 pounds. I decided it was time to do something about it and with exercise and diet I lost over 150 pounds. Although I was proud of my accomplishment, the significant weight lost left me with large amounts of loose skin and no matter how much exercise and weight lifting I did, it wouldn't firm up. I felt extremely insecure about my body, especially my chest. I would not take my shirt off in public, nor would I wear tight fitting shirts that accentuated my breasts. I talked to a couple of doctors who told me the only way to get rid of the excess skin was through skin reduction surgery.

I talked to a couple of Plastic Surgeons in the area, including Dr. Jabs. They all seemed very knowledgeable and credible, but I had the best rapport with Dr. Jabs. He made me feel very comfortable with his laid back easy going manner. He explained all the pros, cons, and possible risks of the surgery, and answered all of my questions in layman's terms.

The day of the surgery he came in and took a lot of time marking my body, and determining the exact cuts he was going to make before he started. Due to the fact that he took time explaining what he was going to do in such detail, I was very calm and not the least bit nervous before the surgery. Naturally the operation was a complete success. I was able to go to work in only a week.

Also, I was very impressed with the aftercare, which started the day after with a fruit basket that was sent to my house from Dr. Jabs and his staff. I had to see him two days after the surgery. He and his wonderful nursing staff showed me the proper way to drain my tubes and how to best dress the wounds. In the next month I had a couple minor problems with fluid, which is not uncommon with this surgery. Every time I would call, his courteous staff would make every effort to try to give me an appointment that day. I never had to sit in the waiting room long before I saw the doctor or nurse. They would drain the fluid without discomfort.

It is now five months later and I am amazed at the job Dr Jabs did. I now wear tight shirts to the gym to accentuate my chest. The surgery has drastically improved my self esteem. I have spent my whole life being embarrassed about my body, especially my chest, but now thanks to Dr. Jabs I can now stick my chest out proudly, knowing all the hard work I have done has paid off. I would not hesitate to go back to doctor Jabs for any additional cosmetic surgery.

I am glad that I chose Dr Jabs for the reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, which was occasioned by disfiguration caused by an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, follow-up surgery to remove a sponge left behind during the initial surgery and the attendant extraordinary abdominal bloating. I am very impressed and satisfied with the improved appearance and gratified that the reconstructive surgery has also served to alleviate back problems I have had since the very unpleasant multiple AAA repair experience. I had not anticipated the latter.

Hi Dr. Jabs. I just thought I would send you a note and let you (know) I'm coming along pretty well. Tomorrow will be two weeks since the surgery and so far no problems. I seem to be healing well. As soon as the bruising is gone, I'll send you pictures so you get a visual. I do want to thank you and your staff (especially Robin), for your support, kindness and professionalism. It made it much easier to travel the long distance from CT and certainly well worth the trip. I figure I should be able to send picture of the healed results towards the end of next week. Dave wants you to have them for your book!

Thanks again, I.B.


Dr. Jabs, I am very happy with the results from the surgery. If it was not for all of you, I don't think that I would have done as well as I did. Thanks for all your caring. I am doing great, there is one thing though that I really would like to thank Dr. Jabs for. My left side, the back of my arm and arm pit, was numb after my cancer surgery I thought that I would go the rest of my life being that way, but it's ALIVE!!! I can actually feel someone touching me on the back or the arm and I can feel myself shave my arm pit now. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

My right side muscle is still a little sore, but that is to be expected and my left side has started to drop! (HIP HIP HURRAY) I don't have the big indentation by the incision any more. I know that it is going to take a little longer for it to drop all the way. (It's just being the stubborn little bugger that it is)

I guess that's about all for now. I am looking forward to seeing all of you in April. (I will let you know when I will be in town)

Tell everyone that I say Hi. Talk to you soon.
(Don't work too hard).

I just wanted to say that I've seen some of your work, and it just blows my mind. Keep up the excellence....I'm sure you've changed the lives of hundreds. I don't come close to affording a tummy tuck and breast lift... but if I ever get the opportunity to have it done.. I will be calling you in a heartbeat!

Sincerely,
-J.B.
