Good luck on surgery.. Mine is in may.. A extended Tt and BA saline implants

January 26, 2016

That's exactly what I am getting. I believe liposuction of the flanks is also included. I am trying to find an affordable hotel in the area. Have you ever had breast implants before?

January 27, 2016

No.. First time having a surgery like this.. Yeah also having lipo too..

January 27, 2016

ok cool. It's my first time getting a tummy tuck, but 2nd breast job. The reason I am asking is because the first time I got saline implants and decided to go with saline again. They seemed to pressure silicone, but I really enjoyed the saline.

January 26, 2016

when are you scheduled? I am going to Dr Ortega 3/5 too for the same thing,

January 27, 2016

My surgery date is the 9th, but driving in early on the 8th! I'm so nervous!

January 27, 2016

I plan to arrive 3/3 or 3/4 to get all my lab work done. I am getting a little nervous as well. I cant wait. I am sure we will run into each other.

January 27, 2016

Yes, we probably will!! Have you decided on where you are staying?

January 27, 2016

Oh my.. that is great! I was thinking about staying in a hotel and have a nurse come. I was looking into the Ramada because it has a restaurant.

January 27, 2016

yea, that would be a good idea. HOW long are you staying?

January 27, 2016

I plan to stay until either 3/11 or 3/12. How about you?

January 28, 2016

My surgery is on March 9th and he is requiring me to stay 7 days, so I will be leaving on the 15th.

Yes me too. We are getting in on the 9th and surgery on 10th and leaving on the 18th. The only thing that really kind of makes me worried is the removing the drains to soon. I wanted to stay for 8 days. So I could be standing upright and not in too much pain when I I have to come home and deal with my 3 boys! My youngest is three and he still likes to climb all over me and he weighs 40 pounds

January 28, 2016

Since mine is on a Saturday, I will probably leave that following Saturday so that my boyfriend if he go can rest on Sunday.

January 28, 2016

Lets all hope that our draining is not bad around day 5 or 6 so that they can be removed. I have read people getting the drains removed before they left so hopefully we will be one of those people.

January 28, 2016

Good luck w surgery :-)

January 28, 2016

yea, a week should be enough time (that's what I am staying)! fingers crossed!!

January 28, 2016

January 27, 2016

I will be posting pics soon :) I live in Tn, so I will meet him the day before surgery! My coordinator is Lizbeth and she is very sweet and informative.

January 27, 2016

The exact same thing as you,LOL I just went to get a mamagram and they spoted something, it went from a mamagram to a ultra sound, so now wanting to compare prior ones, waiting to get records, We are building a cabin so my last Mamagram was 2010 while i was up there i went and had mamagram, You said your in Tn, WOW I called imaging center this morning and still have not received them, ugh!! I just want this little issue to be nothing, so i can continue my very happy countdown!! I had went to 3 ps here and they all are so $$$ over 20.000 which is great if you have it and all! So i started looking at real self more and noticing how much cheaper miami area is and high ratings for top ps so after countless calls from one place to another i choose Ortega, he has done some awsome work!!!

January 27, 2016

Same here. The lowest price I received in TN was 10,000. That is just ridiculous! Dr. Ortega has so much experience and this website has helped me to see how amazing his work is! I'm just worried about where I am going to stay. My husband and oldest son are going, so I will probably just get a hotel. I hope everything works out for you!!

January 27, 2016

Same here. I met with a plastic surgeon here in Kentucky and just for the tummy tuck was almost $9000. Miami is like the plastic surgery capital.

January 28, 2016

yes it sure is!

Hi! My coordinator is Lizbeth too! She's super nice ;-) How are you doing with healing? I'm getting the exact mommy makeover as you except with silicone implants. I will be scheduled for June, just waiting for Lizbeth to reply and then make my payment! Good luck to all you ladies! I will start my pictures and my story on my profile soon after I get scheduled! I've been checking out RealSelf for over a year now lol I'm full of emotions :-)
