Hi guys... So I decided to jump on this since I've...
Hi guys... So I decided to jump on this since I've just put a piece of my deposit down for my 8/14 BA!! Which... Is also my 25th birthday!! I'm from NJ but I'll be traveling to the MECCA of plastic surgery for this... As I just haven't felt 150% confident in the results of tristate surgeons... For ME*
So I've chosen Dr. Altman.
Now let me say this... Because I'm traveling, I did a bit of research on another PS... And I'm not sure I want to say who yet because his office truly went above and beyond, but after speaking to him MYSELF, I didn't have the chemistry I hoped for. I get that some can handle that, and want a good surgeon not a good talker, but for ME, as much as I tried to believe I just want the results.... Their personability ended up actually being important to me.
So based on Dr. Altman's incredibly personal demeanor AND results, I decided he's got all I want and need. His coordinator Jules has truly been awesome and has helped me from the moment I inquired.
And let me just say... Their staffs professionalism is almost as important as the craft of the surgeon. If you're traveling or NOT, you deserve POLITE, PROFESSIONAL, AND ACCURATE INFO from WHOMEVER answers the phone. And I will say, I called three doctors offices here in NJ... And let me just say... I was UNIMPRESSED.
Sooooo after all that... I am so excited and eager to continue this journey and update what I feel might be able to help the next girl.
Until next time

Hotels & Flights?
So I'm trying to decide on a hotel to stay at & curious where y'all stayed.
Has anyone done that combined flight & hotel thing on sites like expedia and orbitz? Does it really save a lot?
I'd love to know your thoughts.

Date Locked In! 8/14! Nervous!
Hi ladies!
So I went to my bank on Friday hoping to bypass going with Care Credit even though I've been approved for more than my surgery amount... I wanted to explore my options. If you miss a single payment, your interned bumps up to 26%!! That is insanity!! But I just found out my bank only approved me for a grand!! Lol what?! So... Gonna have to handle that and see how much more they'll grant me...
BUT onto surgery...
I emailed Dr. Altman last week... Over-researching can be damaging and I got overwhelmed. I let him know that I chose him based on his response and ability to provide me NON-NARCOTIC pain relievers.
I'm a patient in recovery.
My recovery is of utmost importance to me... And I needed a doctor that was comfortable and confident in his work to prescribe me a pain reliever that isn't an opiate.
Because this was a make it or break it part of my story... I did some research on my options and asked around and was told about "Tramadol". This is what my original PS mentioned to me as a way to solve my problem... However, I found out that it's STILL AN OPIATE!! Despite many people using this as their alternative, I didn't want to risk it!! I didn't know until after speaking to the first PS that this drug is under scrutiny, so I didn't think much of it at the time. After researching I found out it won't work for me. So... I was IMMENSELY HAPPY AND IMPRESSED that when Dr. Altman responded to my initial email, that Tramadol wasn't even on his list!! That told me that he knows his meds & he knows that it was a potential problem for patients before!
I can't begin to describe how happy that made me. I knew then that this was the Doctor for me!!
So... No Tramadol for me... I'm going to have to pray on this and trust my Dr.'s decision. After all, I could stay on this site until the procedure and stress myself out over the possibilities, but ultimately, he is the professional!!
I was told by Jules, his coordinator to call a hotel nearby and they gave me a quote of $109/night. The woman I spoke with initial quoted me $119/night and then dropped to $109 lol. I'm not brimming with trust for that one yet, but it may be the most logical option because that room comes with a kitchen! So... Ladies... Were you OK without a kitchen? If you could do it over, would that have made it better??
Decisions decisions!! :)
