I've been researching the bbl procedure for some time and once thought this was unobtainable for myself until someone I knew had the procedure done. I had the privilege to remove her sutures and saw what an awesome job Dr Ortega had done, I called and spoke with Karla at spectrum and made that commitment, I paid my deposit and it's been ago from that point on. I am a little nervous and have many questions (some are repeated questions...LOL). I've found this site to be very helpful and addictive. I welcome any advice and precautions. Dr. Ortega will be doctor and I'm scheduled for surgery 9/24/14. Oh yeah, I've lost 40lbs over the course of two years and have become very active. I want to step up my sexy just a little

Google medical clearance or go to a clinic in your area sometimes you can get a medical clearance for a 100 bucks or based on ur income and if all else fails go to the E.R at a nearest hospital complaining of chest pains and girl they will do a CBC everything to rule out ur diagnosis! Hope this helps but yes a medical clearance is the first thing you get done when u decide u want to do any sx becz u want your doctor to clear u for any sx! Best wishes!

Thanks for the info. I just changed jobs and my insurance begins 9/1/14 and then spectrum told me it has to be within 30 days so that's why I waited so long. But if all else fails, I'm going to the er.
