Good luck on your journey. I had bbl with ortega and i love my results, your life will definitely change. My boyfriend went with me and we rented a suv and stayed at doral. It has a kitchen and walmart is up the street. I was not comfortable with a stranger taking care of me taking me to my appointments , getting my meds. We were able to enjoy Miami for a day before surgery. I would suggest taking someone with you

Thanks love. I wish I could take some (I would save money) but I have nobody to travel with me.

Dr. Sergio Alvarez is my Dr!

I originally put Ortega as my surgeon only because I saw more from him as far as work but from day one I signed up with Alvarez and he will be my Dr. I'm excited and I'm happy with him I saw a picture with him and Lil Kim (my favorite) and I got hella excited lol I still can't sleep I wake up in the middle of night thinking. I also am going by myself and I do feel alone but I know I'll be okay. I just know once I wake up emotionally I'll need someone but I talked to God and he has moved so much out of my way to make this possible so I'm going to trust him. It's in our hardest moments where we will see what we are made of and I'm ready. This is the beginning of a beautiful transformation and I want to motivate anybody who want to change their live to start now. God Bless, Miami see you soon ????
