I'm totally freaking out... I just put the down payment and scheduled my surgery for November 19, 2012! I can't believe that I'm actually doing this, I'm excited but nervous!
I was referred to Dr. O by a friend who had surgery with him and was very satisfied with his work. I met with the doctor June 2, 2012 in regards to a mommy makeover and liked him almost immediately. He is very straightforward and confident, his confidence put me at ease. Now, I just have to wait, preOp was set for November 7, 2012. I'll keep you girls posted.

I spoke Nicole (my patient coordinator) and re-scheduled my preop for October 31, 2012. Nicole is a sweetheart and very honest; I had a minor concern and she addressed it immediately. It's a great feeling to feel like I made the right choice by choosing Dr. Anire Okpaku as my plastic surgeon. Really excited for November, in the meantime, I'm currently dieting and plan to start an excercise regimen soon. I want to be in good shape prior to surgery.

Hi! I am planning to get a mommy makeover done in miami too. I was wondering how much your Dr. is charging you and since you said u gave a down payment does he offer financing? Thanks in advanced. And good luck with everything!

@ Tiana from Miami, my doctor is charging me $10,000 for a breast lift and augmentation, tummy tuck and lipo. He does finance, I used CareCredit. I put the deposit on CareCredit - the down payment is 100% refundable unless you cancel after your preop appointment and I think in that case they only refund you half of the deposit. The deposit they require is $1,000. Good luck to you as well! :-)

Hey! My surgery is oct 29th!!! I have been eating healthy and working out too! I heard its easier to heal if you work out and eat healthy!! Our dates are are close!! What exactly are you having done?
July 9, 2012
@ Blonde in bluffton, Hi :-) Yes, I heard the same thing in regards to eating right and excercising for better healing. I also heard eating lamb is good after surgery for quicker healing. I'm having a breast lift with aug, tummy tuck & lipo... How about you?
July 9, 2012
I am trying so hard to eat healthy!! I am having a full tummy tuck with lipo of the upper tummy, love handles and back, breast lift and aug! I can not wait!!! It seems so far off that it's not real yet!

I can't wait either but trust me it'll be here before we know it! If you don't need to lose weight before surgery I think you can do 5 days of healthy eating and 2 of normal eating but if you do have weight to lose before surgery do 6 days good and 1 free day. 2 weeks prior to surgery start eating clean everyday including weekends... up your protein most importantly. The first week after surgery I'm not cooking at all.. I found a company who caters Paleo food so they will be bringing me breakfast, lunch and dinner for the first week and I don't have to worry about the nutrition part. Paleo is pretty clean eating.

I eat clean @ 7 days a week. Of course I have my occasional bad day. That's a great idea to order clean food for the 1st week. I will have my hubby cooking for me- I am a pretty good cook but he is amazing!!!! We both eat clean so he will be good with that. I have heard cucumber water is great with swelling so I will make a pitcher the day before surgery then have my husband make it. U can add lemon lime and mint to it to

I am so sorry. The same thing happened to me. My surgery was supposed to be June/July and I had to postpone it to October 25. Time will fly by and you will have your surgery before you know it.
November will be here before you know it! Thanks for starting your story with us!
