February 12, 2026?????It’s difficult to put into words what the North Texas Plastic Surgery Fellowship Program — and especially Dr. Kelly and Dr. Obaid have meant to me. This practice didn’t just change my body; it helped heal something much deeper. If I could give them a million stars I would!After living with the physical effects of a 200-pound weight loss for 27 years, I carried not only excess skin but decades of self-consciousness and discomfort. Choosing surgery was not a small decision — having a procurement background I researched and interviewed multiple surgeons in DFW and Houston area.I ultimately underwent two surgeries with Dr. Kelly. My first was a 360 lower body lift, arm lift, and breast lift. The second was a thigh lift, implants, and a fix to my stomach (not his work). I can say without hesitation that placing my trust in him was one of the best decisions of my life. From the very first consultation, he approached me with kindness, patience, and respect. He listened carefully, educated thoroughly, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. His skill is extraordinary, but it’s his compassion and steady presence that truly set him apart. I felt human and not like someone being used to gain Instagram status – I literally had one practice shame me because I didn’t want to spend 78k on all the same procedures and while over 100k followers is impressive, I wasn’t going to be on Only Fans anytime soon so had no issue using a Fellowship program (trust me I shopped the others as well) ??Going through one surgery requires trust. Going through two requires complete confidence — and Dr. Kelly earned that every step of the way. Even during a more challenging recovery with my thighs (my first surgery was a literal breeze), I never doubted that I was in exceptional hands. The care, professionalism, and responsiveness of the entire team remained consistent and reassuring.My only regret is that I because this surgery was slightly harder, I delayed feeling ready to schedule a third procedure. By the time I was prepared, Dr. Kelly was fully booked. That speaks volumes about the trust and demand surrounding his work. I was so confident in him that I specifically hoped he would address the loose skin on my face and neck — because after two surgeries, there was no one else I would have wanted or trusted.Dr. Obaid’s fellowship program is something truly special. It provides access to an incredible level of surgical expertise while preserving a culture of integrity, humility, and genuine patient care. The fellowship program is not merely a training pathway. It is a bridge — one that connects patients like me to opportunities that might otherwise remain forever out of reach. This program changes lives, and I am profoundly grateful to have benefited from it.The results of my surgeries have impacted far more than my appearance. They’ve changed my physical comfort, my confidence, and the way I feel in my own skin after nearly three decades of waiting. This wasn’t cosmetic. This was life-altering, and I am endlessly grateful.
