I've contemplating a TT for a very long time now and have finally decided to get it done! I will be accompanied by my 23 year old daughter who will also be getting some work done. We have both decided to go with Dr. Mel Ortega at Spectrum in Miami! Although very excited, I am terrified of the pain!! I will be having a TT with lipo. Could someone please tell me that it isn't so bad lol?
I plan on flying to Miami the day before surgery and flying back home a week after. This is why I hope the pain isn't unbearable! The office of Dr. Ortega was very good with contacting me up until my deposit was given...no I just cross my fingers and hope Lizbeth returns my texts. I have read that many people have experienced the same with no matter which doctor they choose.
My questions are besides the pain level, what should I bring for the recovery?? Do I need a faja, or do they supply? I'v e read about people bringing abdominal boards..what is it and do I need it? Compression stockings since i will be flying?? Vitamins??

8/19/15 is the big day! It can't come soon enough! I'm starting to second guess myself because my mother keeps telling me not to do it.

My hemoglobin is a little on the low end, 11.2
So I'm taking one iron tab daily. Hopefully it'll be much higher prior to surgery

I'm going same day as you vivian826! I'm starting to second guess and all these life things keep popping up!!!! Then I get the guilt of spending hard earned $ on this when I should be paying for that!!!!! But on the spectrum end I haven't gotten anything from Dr Ortega's MA!!!!! What the heck????
