I have 3 kids. 1 csection and 2 vbacs. I promised myself a mommy makeover when I was done having kids and the time has come. I chose Dr Mel T. Ortega at spectrum aesthetics. My sister is a recent patient and had great results and a great experience. My coordinator is Emily. She seems nice but it's hard to get in touch with her so I'm a little concerned

Lol...I'm all over the place on this site....i feel like it jumps all over the place...lol....and I'm addicted!!! I booked my sx date around the 13th of March and at that time he was already booked through June which was fine with me because I was planning for the first week in July. Yeah the book really fast....you have to schedule at a minimum 4 months out if you have a specific date in mind....just my opinion though. Best of luck.

Yeah I went to book in June and didn't and by the time I called back a few days later the earliest I could get was July 12th so I made sure to lock that in immediately lol

It would be kinda cool if RS had private chat rooms like the private messaging for people looking for buddies for dates with same surgeons! Some kinda way for it to not be stalkery, and for the personalities to be kindred! Some folks on here you may not want to meet up with! I've come across some angryish and character types, based on their reviews. I think we kinda all draw to our kindred spirits here though! A Surgeon's/Surgery Date chat room would be nice!

Omg yes that would be amazing! And positive only vibes are welcomed. I have seen a few of those angry reviews. It's fascinating how people react so differently so fear and stress and nervousness. And planning for sx like this definitely brings up all kinds of emotions especially if you've had a bad experience before. I tend to be very chatty and joke a lot when I'm trying to ease my nerves lol

Yes have you found a recovery house? I spoke with Claudia today and she is $145 a night and massages $45. I'm going with her or Karla. Karla quoted me a price of $1050 for 7 days and $50 for massages. I will be having surgery on the 13th and flying in on the 12th

My step mom lives in Miami and she's an RN so she'll be taking care of me. I going to look into those massages though. Hopefully it decreases the amount of time we have to keep those drains in

I can't believe my surgery is next month! I've already started ordering supplies and prepping. I'm still nervous about posting before pics but I will soon because I know how much it helped me seeing both the before and after pics. Bit I am excited and ready. Can't wait to be on the flat side!

Thank you for sharing your story with this community. I hope you find all the feedback and support you need here in order to feel ready and prepared for your journey.
It will seem like they get your deposit and then abandon you but it's not like that.
The coordinators are young ladies that have had the procedures and can guide you along the way. They mainly pull you in give you a boost to go ahead and treat yourself and help get the ball rolling as far as scheduling, suggesting the best Dr for the procedure you desire and letting you know what to expect! They are also the show pieces in the office, they are so glamorous with they butts and boobs ;-D!
If you find that you are getting to frustratedwith Em, just look to RS for sisterhood, questions and concerns. Spectrum will become more involved when you are closer to your date! You gonna be fabulous girl!!!
I had wish pics, but after meeting and talking with him, I just told him I didn't want my gut competing with my butt and he sho nuff improved!!!
