Ready to Get my Butt Fixed. Miami, FL

Hello ladies, same as most of you, I have been...

Hello ladies, same as most of you, I have been lurking on this site reading as many reviews as I could to get ready for my bbl sx. Im from NJ but couldn't find a dr up here that made me feel comfortable. I went to a consultation with a dr in NY and he was going to charge me $13,500 with a $2000 "discount". I didn't like that price and I didn't like what his results looked like. I did my homework on RealSelf and finally decided on Dr Mel Ortega.
A little about me, I'm 29 with no kids and I recently got out of an 11 year relationship that ran it's course. I decided to get a bbl because a little over 4 years ago I was hit by a car which caused me to lose volume in my buttocks and flattened my left butt cheeks and hips which was minor compared to 2 herniated discs, several surgeries (including knee and back surgery) and a pinched nerve. I have had to go years of physical therapy and counseling among other things but I have always kept a positive outlook on life because I'm alive and I'm grateful for that. Now that my recovery is almost done I'm ready to fix my butt because I'm not confident with it and I my confidence back in myself.
I have never been super curvy but I had a nice butt that went well with my body. I'm ready to get my butt and my sexy back so I can step into the dating world with confidence. I have only told a few people in my family and I'm so excited to get it done with.

I have been gaining weight to make sure I have enough fat for my bbl. I look forward sharing my journey with you and Thanks for reading.

Hey I will be down there the same time. I will be having my surgery the next day. What time is your appointment? Man time is just flying on by just about 2 more weeks. I'm nervous but excited. I pray everything goes well with you and your journey! You deserve it after all you've been through! Continue to be you and persevere!! :)
May 17, 2015
Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm not sure what time it is cause I haven't gotten much feedback from my coordinator Vivian. Once I find out, I will update. Hopefully I see you there.
May 18, 2015
No problem. It's good to know there are others going through the same journey especially for support. Vivian is also my coordinator and I haven't heard much from her either. Have you paid your surgery in full? I would my surgery to be first if not first at least in the morning maybe second. From the reviews I have read having your surgery in the morning helps to avoid waiting and chaos. It would be nice to see you there. Are you traveling alone?
May 18, 2015
I haven't paid in full yet and I'll be traveling alone and staying at the recovery house.
May 18, 2015
okay cool. I only paid half. They said to bring the other half when I get down there the day before my surgery. Did they tell you that?
May 19, 2015
I wasnt told that but then again I haven't heard anything from Vivian.
May 20, 2015
Are you paying the rest before you get down there or when you get there? I haven't heard much either except the medical/payment coordinators?

blood work!

So I will finally be getting my lab work done this morning. I had been calling several times last week to the medical clearance office with no answer. I finally got in touch with Evelyn yesterday and hopefully everything works out.I will actually be flying to Orlando this evening for a family function later in the week. I wanted to get everything done before flying out there. This was planned before my surgery date. I was lucky enough to get a sx date while being in Fl so I decided to extend my trip for an extra 11days and 9 of those days will be at the recovery house. I bought my supplies and the booty buddy cause I was worried about ruining my new booty on the flight home. I knew exactly what to get thanks to the great reviews I read on this wonderful site. Thank you ladies of RealSelf.
