I was slender until my abusive marriage when I gained a tremendous amount of weight. I've kept it off for 14 years and have been carrying around this excess skin. Finally will rid of this constant reminder of the torture. So scared and nervous though.
I chose Dr. Ortega because he has over 25 years experience & unlike the other 5 doctors I interviewed, he uses assistants so I wouldn't be under for long. Also, his office staff has been very efficient & knowledgable.

Wishing you the best of luck. I am also having work done at the end of September. I am flying in from Jersey as well. How are you feeling girl? Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm actually doing quite well. My back is pretty sore but no major issues so far. Going on day 3. Will have a follow up with the doc in the am. I am staying away from salt which seems to be helping the drains do their thing faster.

FYI... Not sure what you're having done but I feel like a big balloon. I'm a bigger size than before the surgery. Doc says this takes 3 to 6 months to go down

First follow up
YankeeCleoAugust 27, 2014
Just saw Dr. Ortega today for my first follow up after surgery. I walked to the office from the hotel (slowly). I'm feeling strong. He said I'm doing well & recovering according to plan. He said I didn't have pads as I should have between my skin & my tubes. I was a little irritated so now that will be better. Walked back to the hotel feeling even stronger. But I did have to take a nap after. He told me I will need smaller compression garments for the next 6 months.

Thank you so much for asking. The swelling has subsided. The skin on my but wasn't fully lifted so I still have skin ripples in the back of my thighs & my butt is a little droopy & lopsided. With clothes on though, I look fabulous. So, grateful for that. I'll have to hit the gym pretty hard to fix all this before summer. My belly is starting to bump out. I'm not sure if that's normal.
