After being on real self for about 6 months and deciding against going to DR for the surgery I found Dr. Mel Ortega in Miami. I like that he works on women with curves and after reading his reviews I feel I will be in great hands. I leave for surgery in 3 days and I am excited. I live in Florida so I will be driving there on Dec.2 to pick up my prescription and get information about where the recovery house will be in order to prepare for surgery on Dec. 3 . I will upload before pictures when I get to the recovery house to help keep me busy and my review of everything so far. Anyone going to MIAMI around that time? Wish me luck!

Yes, that included everything. My insurance paid for my prescription so I didn't have to pay out of pocket for that.

Today I drove down from Orlando to the surgery center. If anyone is like me and wanted emails and phone calls returned immediately....please know they are just busy and it's not intentional. When I arrived there were many people in the waiting room . I waited for about 15- 20 minutes and I met with finance to pay the balance and another hour to see the nurse to take my pictures and go over the medication, post op care instructions and my surgery time for the morning. I think the staff is nice, just overly busy. After driving hours I finally ate and took my time exploring a little bit of the area. I'm just pulling up to the recovery house. The nurse left to fill prescriptions so I'm in my truck waiting on his return. When I get settled in the house I will finally upload my pics. The only part that sucked today was the parking. Its a small area. Maybe a car could have found parking but i wasnt so lucky in a SUV. I quickly found a nice spot on another side street. Not a big deal.

Ok... so I I got to the recovery house last night. It's a nice home. However, I thought it actually nurses taking care of you. Its just a way that people traveling alone can still have their surgery and have someone pick them up. It's about 8 girls staying in the house. Everyone is super nice and helps each out. I have my mm at 9 so I am leaving here around 7. I'm a little nervous but I'm just happy to finally getting this done....im sure I will post more when I get to the surgery center if there is a wait.
