Finally decided to document my journey. I had a TT...
$10,503
Finally decided to document my journey. I had a TT 1 year ago and always knew I would have a BBL later.
Let me give you my background. I am 5'5" and currently at 191 lbs. I played sports when I was younger but after having my first child at 17, I never got my figure back. I spent the next 20 years raising my kids and putting them first but now it's about me!!! I will be 39 once I have this surgery but this is in preparation for my 40th birthday.
I have chosen Dr Cortes. His results speak for themselves & I only live 4 hours from Houston.
Arrived abt 10 mins early for my consultation. There were only 8 chairs in waiting room so my husband left and sat in the lobby of the building. First, I was handed a registration packet of about 25 pages. I had printed out the forms online but they are different so that didn't help speed up the process. I learned that if you are out of town then the consultation fee of $45 is waived. I didn't like the fact that there were 3 kids under the age of 3 in the waiting but I only waited about 30 mins.
In preparation of the consult I prepared the following questions & wish pics:
Questions/Concerns:
1. Length of Procedure
2. Length of Recovery
3. Is anesthesia care is provided by board-certified M.D. anesthesiologists?
4. Why do you keep your patients overnight observation after surgery?
5. Number of follow up appointments needed.
6. Is post-op care/appts cost included in the procedure price?
7. If not, what are the costs?
8. How soon would I be able to go back home? (If doctor is out-of-town)
Surgeon’s Performance & Procedure
9.Have you had any serious complications and unplanned hospitalizations after cosmetic surgery?
10. What precautions would be taken for infection due to the loss of my spleen?
11. Do you feel that my vision is possible for me?
12. How much weight should I lose prior to surgery?
13. Will I need to arrive in Houston prior to surgery date for pre op work?
14. Will the overnight facility allow my husband to stay with me overnight?
15. If/When would I need to stop taking my meds prior to surgery?
16. How long should I take off from work?
17. When can I return to working out?
18. Can I take pre surgery vitamins? (Each packet contains 1 Multivitamin/Mineral tablet, 1 light tan Ester-C capsule, and 1 white Zinc Chelate tablet) No vitamin E
19. What kind of pain medication do you subscribe?
Dr Cortes answered my questions and told me that I need 1200 CC in each side so I will need to gain 10 lbs. Since I had a TT last year I only have about 300 CCs on tummy now. I tentatively have a date for 9/2. I put $500 down and Lucy will call me with confirmation.

Team Cortes LETs DO THIS…Surgery has been confirmed!! July 31 :) :)
Lucy has sent an email and confirmed my surgery date for 7/31. I have provided images of the information that was sent. I am sure this will answer many questions that you all have regarding pre op prep, post op care and travel details.
I am posting pics of some items that I purchased for surgery. I purchased a lawn chair at Goodwill for $5!! Love a good deal! I will post pic once I have cut and altered for this BOOTY! Any other suggestions on items needed??
