09-21-2014.
I am getting lipo in my inner and outer thighs, my abs, flanks and that place that cover the coaxial or coccyx., and a bit of my buttocks. Maybe my upper arms and adjacent areas.
Today was consultation with Dr. Mendieta. It went very well. My appointment was schedule for 11.00 am. I filled out some forms and then I was taken to a room where a nursed asked some health related questions and then took my pictures. Front, back and profile. Then 5' later Dr. Mendieta knocked the door. He looked at my back pictures on a screen that is located in the consultation room. I told him what I wanted and he mentioned that by doing my inner thighs there is the possibility of creations wrinkles there as I am 44 years old and the quality of my skin is different from the one of a younger woman. I love that as he was honest.
After the meeting with him I met with Vivian who is handling my procedure. She is very nice. We talked costs and all that financial stuff. I also signed a consent to have surgery done and all that legal stuff that we need to read carefully.
I requested to have my measurements taken for the compression garment. The brand the use is Marena. They have this custom made for their patients. Mine is a full body one. I couldn't find it on line. Cost 225 USD I also bought today the ARNIKA FORTE [trade mark] which composition is Arnica Montana 1000mg. Bromelain 3000 GDU 100mg, grape seed extract 240mg, Vitamin C 250mg, Rutin 100mg. I need to start to take this arnica 2 days before the surgery and 5 days post-op. Cost 37 USD.
Getting there it cost me 20 USD as I don't know how to drive on the left side of the road. And 20 USD to come back to the Brickell area.
As I don't have a friend who can look after me while in miami I am hiring a lady recommended by the practice of dr. Mendieta. She will pick me up on the day of the procedure and will stay with me 24 hrs and will take me back to my post-op check up.
That is going to cost me around 560 USD. Then I can hire her per hour. :)
I have to have a medical check up. Blood work, chest X-rays. I need to be in perfect health to have the procedure. That will take place on the 27th of August. Then on the 29th of August I will have my pre-op consultation.
I am starting to get excited. Yay! I will post my every step of the way as Real Self help me to make my decision. I want people to benefit from my experience as well.

08-29-2014 pre-op
I had my pre-op yesterday. It took me took hours to go through all those papers and signing all of them initial much of them. Legal stuff protecting the practice. Make sure that I understand that this procedure is completely optional as my general health does not depend on it. I had to answer once more all the question about my health, my previous surgeries et cetera.
Finally she took my measurements to determine which size garment I needed to use after my surgery. The brand I am using is Marena. I am feeling rather lazy writing about the things I will use right before my surgery and right after my surgery. I need to buy all this stuff. I will make a detailed list of the items I need to purchase and have ready after my surgery and the first post-op week once I acquired them. :)
