Just my luck. I now have to cancel and reschedule my whole appointment. I came down with a really nasty cold the night before last. Taking care of my sick fiancé and then I became sick. I'll have to pay 300 to reschedule because it's less than 30 days .... but me getting sick isn't anything I could really prevent. Maybe it's a sign. Idk ????????????

Have you paid for your surgery in full? Or did you just put down a deposit?

Hello.... Let me start by saying ur very beautiful and I wish you the best of luck I'm going to ortega in 10 days for my tummy tuck and breast implants saline not sure what size yet I will let ortega decide what size it will take to get the results I'm dreaming of.. I also am using Liz and yes I feel the same she is sweet and all but definitely treats you like ur not paying for this surgery... I mean it's not cheap and if I was at a dealership I would definitely have walked out and went else where lol but since I'm doing all this on line and over the phone since I'm from Cleveland Ohio it's definitely a struggle... Ortega has exceptional reviews and lots of people say they have horrible receptionist and coordinators but when it comes dn to the surgery ortega is one good surgeon so I'll deal with the shitty attitude from the coordinator over the phone as long as in person I'm treated with respect cause if not well..... That is a different story cause I won't hold back in person for sure.. With all that being said I am 10 days until my surgery and super excited and nervous about it but I do believe ortega will do his thing and have me looking amazing.... Keep me posted on ur journey I'm going to keep updating along mine.... Also make sure when u book ur date u make Liz send you a confirmation email securing ur date cause she did [RS bleep] mine up and now I have to have surgery on 22nd instead of 21st it's only one day difference but I'm coming from out of state and expected to be there 9 days after my surgery now I won't be and probably have to fly home with drains still in cause she fucked up.. It's frustrating as hell but I did get a free massage for her mistake... Whoopty doo... She should have fixed her mistake and kept my date that would have been the professional thing to do not push me off til next day and give me a massage to make up for it which I had to ask for anyways.. Some sort of compensation for her mistake... But that's the way ish goes there I guess...

Hi Beverly! Thank you and your very beautiful as well. Your date is almost near I'm excited for you!!! I would have been upset as well if they messed my dates up. I'm flying from out of town too and it's a little overwhelming to get everything in order. You'll be going a week before me. Are u flying with someone or staying in the recovery house? I'm still waiting for a little more time to pass before I book where I'm staying. I've been looking at air bnb since my partner is flying with me. Please keep me updated and best of luck to you. I think I'll be down there while your still there. I'll be flying in on the 31st since my surgery is on the 1st of nov.... everything will go well because our dr is suppose to be the bomb!!! I'm excited to see your updates!!! I hope the doc agrees or come close to the size I'm trying to achieve. Hope to hear from you soon
