Samuel Shatkin Jr., MD

Very attentive and personable. Very good follow up.

Great office all the staff was kind. Dr Shatkin was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions & concerns

Everyone was professional and caring. My consultation was more than I expected with attention to addressing issues and concerns.

I am 36 years old 5’8’’ tall. I have been overweight basically my entire up until resent. A year and a half ago I embarked on a journey to get healthy. I weighed 240 lbs and my blood pressure was starting to get high and I did not want to have to take medication. With my doctor’s and husband’s support through nutrition only I lost 80 lbs and have kept it off for more than six months. I went from a size 18 pants to a size four! Although everyone tells me how great I look I still look in the mirror and see two bellies, no belly button, and a disgusting hanging skin that I have to shove into my jeans everyday hiding it! I have had two stomachs for as long as I remember (teenager). I couldn’t get past them and acknowledge the hard work and my accomplishment. I started looking up tummy tucks and found Dr. Shatkin. My husband and I went for a consultation right before Christmas with Dr. Shatkin. His demeanor and bedside manor was impeccable. His knowledge on our questions was impressive. My husband told me before we went to the consultation that if he didn’t like the surgeon I cannot get it done. Dr. Shatkin passed the test and we scheduled my surgery for May. Two weeks away today, I cannot wait! I thought this day would never come! I will do my best to update everyone during my recovery. Pictures are coming soon. I also want to thank everyone who post on this site. I’ve been stalking this site for a year and have found comfort in a lot of your stories and learned a lot!

As you can see it’s hard to tell I’m only at a 24 BMI. With the proper clothes on my friends go nuts at how good I look. I forgot to mention I’ve never had any children and I believe the reason for my stomach indent is I had cancer when I was 4 months old inside my stomach and my scar is right on the largest part above my belly button and I think that’s why I look like I had children because of that and weight gain for 25 years. I can’t wear any tight fitting clothes ever. I can wait to have a flat stomach so I can finally wear a wiggle dress!
