Tomorrow I pay my deposit! I am really excited to get this procedure done. However, my youngest is only 17 months old right now and shes going to have a hard time with mommy not being able to ppick her up for a while after my surgery! Anyone know how long itll be before I can pick her up again? she weighs about 22 lbs. also, I'm traveling to Florida from California! What do people do when traveling out of state for their procedure? I'm kind of thinking it woud be best to go by myself, but who would take care of me and help me with things while I'm out there?

Hi, I am also traveling to Florida next month to have a mommy makeover. I've been told you will need someone with you the first week. I have been reading a lot of other stories on Realself and they all say it takes two weeks to get 70% better. I would recommend you have someone with you for a few days. I don't think you will be able to pick the baby up for a few months. A option for hold the baby will be sitting down and letting the child sit in you lap.
May I ask why you didn't get surgery in California ? They have some of the best surgeons. What surgeon did you go with in Florida ?

Out here the best price I got was 15,000! That's just crazy for me! The surgeon I choose I like the before and afters and he has a ton of reviews! I'm flying out and back, staying in a recovery house for a week and paying less than 9000 total!

Pazmino & Ortega are the best in Florida. That's an amazing price. Is that for tummy tuck , Lipo & lift? Do you have to pay separate for recovery house ? If so how much ? That's exciting news. I hope all goes well. Keep us posted !!

Yes I paid 1,150 for 8 days in recovery house. They do my meals, take me to and from air port and appointments and do my laundry! I'm so excited but the time is ticking by so slowly ugh

Yes the price I gave you is for everything all together! Including my ribs trip flight from California!!!

Hello,
They're recovery homes out in Florida that can take care of you. Hope this is any help.

Did they organize the whole trip ? Wow, 9k for surgery, travel & safe house that's amazing. I may have to reconsider my doctor. I am gonna pay $4800 more and my charge did NOT include safe house or travel :( .
I have read that you can wear the sports bra the doctor gave you for a six weeks day and night.
I Hope that helps.

You look great. Yes California is expensive I was quoted 23000 for tt and bl and that didn't even include lipo. I'm looking to travel out of state as well.

Thank you! Florida prices are great! Including air fare and recovery house my cost was much less than any others!!!

I paid my deposit yesterday and decided to go with Dr. Ortega! He has a lot more reviews so I just felt better about it! I'm really excited to do this! Don't have a date set yet, but it'll probably do it soon! Timing is perfect because my mom was just laid off so she will stay with my babies! Amen!

I have got my date and I really have so many questions. I'm sure my PS can answer them for me but the coordinator lady isn't very good at answering all questions do I'm looking to you guys! First, how long until I can pick up my baby? She's almost 18 months and weighs about 23lbs... And is a real mama's girl! What should I bring? I'm going out of state for this and want to be prepared. What should I do before hand? I'm staying at a recovery house after my surgery. Will I feel up to walking around Miami after this? Should I wait to get a good bra until after? IDK what size I'll be yet!!! I'm going to post before picture just cause I know it has helped me a lot seeing all of your before and afters. So, for you guys, I'll do it!

Hi! I'm sure each dr and each person is different but my ps said usually by 2 weeks post op you can lift up to 30 lbs. (He said that in response to me asking the same type question and I'm having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and BL/BA.). Hope that helps!
