46 Y/o Mommy Make over with Dr. Andrew Amunategui. 4/2016 - Aventura, FL

Hi everyone,
I am 5'7 and 180 lbs and I eat well workout but it's time to do this for me. My daughter is grown up and I've gone on a few consults but was recommended by someone about Dr. Amunategui (Dr. A). Let me tell you the first consult I had with him in 2013 I was knew he was my doctor. I did my research and found his years of experience. Board certified and was also featured on the local news here in Miami. Dr. Amunategui took his time with me and I honestly even up to my pre op today felt so confident. He is honest, listens, and always puts safety of the patient first. Did you notice I had a consult with him back in 2013? That's because I changed my mind on different procedures and each time I changed to do maybe the bbl only he ok'd a consult with me to go over any questions I may have had.
So here I am 2016 two weeks away and I had my pre op appointment with him today. There is never a crowded waiting room and his staff is always friendly and professional. Daniel was sweet and today another lady I have to get her name assisted Dr. A and she made me feel like I had a longtime girlfriend with me. He has 19 years experience and I'm already planning my bbl in three months. I'm having a full tummy tuck breast lift with Areola incisions and shooting for 650 cc saline implant under the muscle.
This is such an outlet for me to discuss because I don't have any family here in Florida and everyone is so supportive. More importantly it helped me so much so hope I can help someone else.

I'm really excited and my blood work came back perfect. Hemo cbc A1 all good! Today I also gave urine to confirm that I am not pregnant! Funny enough my nurse at my primary Doctor said she had a tummy tuck 8 years ago and showed me how flat her tummy was to date. Talk about a confidence booster. Prayer and the research I did really has affirmed my decision that I am in good hands. I will post post op pictures frequently as well.

I just received a phone call from Amy @ dr. Amunategui office. I've been medically cleared by my cardiologist who implanted my pacemaker 4 years ago and the pacemaker company will be at my surgery to reprogram my pacemaker. Both Medtronic and my cardiologist said the surgery is absolutely fine. Mind you I've had the same medical clearance 3 years ago which they knew about. Dr. Amunategui has told me several times that it's a go. Surgery set for next wed I get a call saying the anesthesiologist doesn't feel comfortable he wants to do it in a hospital $2000.00 5 days before my surgery. I've been cleared from work I have a nurse and someone who took off from work. I spent money flying someone down to stay with me, I've spent at least $500.00 on supplies and let not forget the emotional and financial preparation I've had to do. I get it safety first however not viewing your patients medical clearance in a timely fashion is completely unacceptable. Secondly what type of anesthesiologist do you have if he is scared is this a blessing in disguise. I need to cancel my appointment and find a sue on who has anesthesiologist who are well prepared. Why did I do a full medical clearance and given the opportunity to have the actually pacemaker rep at my surgery. I'm so so upset right now you have no idea. I'm a single mom who has planned this well in advance and I don't have $2000.00 dollars at my disposal 35 days before surgery this is completely unacceptable not giving the patient notice. I almost feel like the anesthesiologist was just today informed of my surgery. What do I tell all the help who took vacation time off for me? I'm so distraught right now
