WORTH IT$11,000
My surgery is coming up in the next few weeks. I met with Dr Cortes one time for my consultation. I have followed him on Youtube for about 2 years and was sure I wanted him as my surgeon. I paid my full surgery the day of my consultation so I wouldn't have to worry about it later. I will be meeting with him again in 2 weeks for my preop visit and then to my hospital pre op visit. I will update soon!

Pre-op visit= DONE!
So I had my pre-op visit yesterday. It all went well. I was a little bummed because I didn't get to see the Dr. I'm assuming he was operating? Idk. I only saw the nurse. Which I was ok with anyway because he was very honest and thorough during my consultation. I'll be seeing him before surgery anyway. The nurse was the sweetest thing ever. Very knowledgeable and patient. She took her time with me and pretty much said she'd be my go-to person for after surgery. She took my pictures and explained everything for after surgery. I received my prescriptions and off I went to register at the hospital.
I wasn't able to pay because the facility, anesthesia and other charge (can't remember off the top of my head what) need to be paid separately. I had a full amount on one cashiers check from my bank :( so make sure y'all take 3 individual payments! Besides that, they were very nice and attentive. Got all the paperwork done and blood drawn. I spent about 3 hours at the hospital with the whole process. I met 2 other ladies that will also be getting bbls done with Cortes. It was nice to meet other girls in the same journey as me.
Everything seems so real now! I'm so excited and can't wait to become a Cortes Doll!

Glad all went well with your pre-ops. Mine are next Tuesday and I'm so ready. Did they tell you how long it takes to receive your labs back? BTW… I had to stop by Dr. Cortes office yesterday too. It was so quiet and empty too. Anyway I took care of my payment so next week I will pay the hospital portion. Then count down to surgery.

Thank you! The nurse told me that the lab work is usually done with results in a couple of hours. Oh wow what time were you there? Yeah there was only two people when I got there too!

Oh ok… so you would be notified right away if anything wasn't right with your test. That's good! I was there at 1pm. I only saw 2 people. Ashley and one of the nurses who was sitting at the front desk. I wondered if this was a surgery day for Dr. Cortes because it was so empty. Also… where you told anything specific for surgery day? For instance do they provide compression socks or do we need to bring our own? I know we received our surgery packets and it tells you theses things, but compression socks weren't mentioned.

Yes I would think so! Oh I missed you by a couple of minutes then because I left at 12:45 lol I didn't ask about the compression socks I've had two non-cosmetic surgeries in the past and I've always had compression socks after surgery. So I'm assuming that they would give them to us for this too! For surgery day all they said was no make up or jewelry. They also told me to take a shower the night before and the morning of surgery with a specific soap that the hospital will give you. When I went to my preop at the hospital the lady almost forgot so make sure you ask for it!

Also the hospital told me not to wear fake nails or nail polish. Because in the event that you are lacking oxygen your nails will turn blue and they want to be able to see it
