ORIGINAL POST

So I've been looking into this surgery for about...

Sweetlife56
$3,250
So I've been looking into this surgery for about two years. I originally wanted a breast reduction and tummy tuck done at the same time. I was blessed enough to have my breast reduction covered by my Insurance here in NYC on 3/17/17. I'm scheduled to have my Tummy Tuck on 6/29/17 with two areas of Lipo at Imagenes. I'm very nervous... I just wanna make it to the flat side. I need to loose about 14lbs to be surgey ready. I was 227 and I'm now 209. I will be staying at Assistance for life recovery home. Let me say this once again I'm very happy and nervous about all of this. I will post some pics with my before and current body status. Anyone who's had surgey with Ortega... please provide some insite. Any recommendations.. supplies... in all ears. I will be traveling alone but I have a aunt in the area. I'm praying daily all goes well and I leave satisfied. I leave for Miami on 6/27/17.

Make you nervous switching Dr's?

My Dr is no longer working on the day I'm scheduled. I've reschedule this surgery once already due to my blood levels being to low in April and I don't wanna keep rearranging my travel arrangements and spending more money again. I also became a little iffy once I read my previous surgeon Is not very aggressive with the lipo. I've read great things on Hunsaker and seen his work. Just praying all goes well.

I will pray too. Did you know that you can order a monitor off of Amazon that will tell you your iron level (kind of like blood glucose monitor for diabetes )it's fairly cheap it's way cheaper than a lab at the hospital.:)
