Well, I am going with Dr. Ortega who is based in Miami. I am traveling from Tampa and I know I have a slew of great doctors around me locally but I know this doctor's work is what I am looking to achieve. A family member has also used this doctor as well and had wonderful experiences with him.

The staff has been super sweet in helping me between my crazy changing mind and thinking things through. I am going for 500-500cc instead of smaller with a lift. I really don't know what to expect because this is happening from out of town makes me a bit more nervous. I was rather nervous about only one pre op visit and then the surgery being the next day but I have been vocal and emailing constantly to Gabby who has been SO patient with me to help make sure I ask the questions and get the knowledge I want.

I haven't told many people about this happening. I'm doing this for me and nobody else! It is hard to explain, but I feel like I have been missing a part of me that I want there to feel like a woman. My husband is beyond happy and excited. He is super supportive.

Surgery is scheduled for July 9th and I am beyond ready! If it wasn't for a preplanned fourth of July vacation I would have already been in and done lol!!!

I am trying to prep and think about what I need for after. We will be staying in a hotel o the beach and just chilling and recovering for a few days than driving back. I hope by day 4 the drive back will be somewhat comfortable. I am a bit nervous but thats expected I am sure.

I did go in for my blood work up (whew that was a chunk of change without insurance) but I am serious about this.

Day 1 thru 3 were the hardest for me but I never really felt my breath aug was terrible. Drink lots of water, stay ontop of your meds, and rest! Best of luck. I am almost 4 weeks post op and it's been a wonderful choice!

Blood Work

Got my blood work done & surgery is a go! So so nervous but so excited at the same time! I'm wondering about the recovery time and how soon I'll be able to go outdoors and do family functions like ride on the boat. We are very out doors so this will be a challenge and I am willing to donate the time to feel amazing and proud of my new additions! It helps so much that my husband has my back

How long did it take you to get your lab results and approval back? I'm scheduled for the 15th.

I had to actually call in and have them request to resend it! Ugh. Stay on top of it if they haven't gotten word back by 48 hours have the doctors office call the lab you went to and request the results again. Good luck!!!
