My surgery is Saturday, but I have to fly out...

My surgery is Saturday, but I have to fly out tomorrow. I'm really hoping to get as much hips as possible and a snatched waist. So far the doctor seems nice. I don't like that I have to pay completely in cash with this doctor. I feel like an electronic debit or even letting us use PayPal would make more sense. At least give us the option with a fee.

My flight is in three hours! I'm so exhausted I need a nap but I also am scared to over sleep. I don't know which recovery house I'll be at but any of them are fine. I'm nervous because I am super duper anemic and hope my iron levels are high enough. She said it shouldn't be a problem since I've be taking iron but I guess we will see. I found it bizarre they were scheduled surgeries for Saturday but hey it works out for me.

I'm obsessed with traveling but man I had the actual plane. I'm 5'11 so it's SO UNCOMFTORABLE and my back always hurts and I get so bored. I'm also cheap and don't want to spring for the wifi. Anyway I'm in the Miami airport just waiting for my flight to the domenican! I feel worried because the flight is delayed and may get cancelled. If it does I'm screwed because I don't know if I'll have a ride to the recovery house. Oh well I'll email them. I can't wait to go to the clinic and hear what the doctor thinks about my requests. I plan on adding inner thighs and arms just because my arms and thighs are my most trouble areas.

I figure I should explain why I want this. I have always been a bigger girl and had no problems with that. I am not lazy, I actually like working out but I also love to eat good food. In fact I'm
In the Miami airport eating pizza and meatballs. I just think this will give me the motivational boost I need to work harder on what I eat and shape my body. I want as much Cc as he can give me in each cheek and the smallest waist possible. I want hips hips I know there are limitations with my body but I want the best possible result. The recovery house will be paradise. Honestly wish I could have found someome to take care of me as the recovery house is what made it so expensive.

I've got armpit fat but I think it's really just breast tissue so I'm going to get his opinion on that. I've never been able to wear strapless stuff so thar would be cool! I know this is going to be a rough experience but it will be worth it.

I'll post photos of the recovery house and if anything interesting happens at my appointment.

Day of treatment

Surgery this morning!

helenhoney
Good morning everyone! I arrived too late last night to be seen at the clinic, but I'm about to head there now. Hopefully everything is good, if it is I'll be having surgery TODAY! I feel so tired. The room I was in is soo cold. I'm sure their is a way to adjust the temperature but of course I couldn't figure it out and was to lazy to get up and ask. The paradise recovery house is really nice! It's very prettty. The only thing I don't understand is their are so many steps and little like nooks in the floor. Hopefully I don't fall!

The meal I had last night was really good! Price wise I guess it works out to $125 or so per day.. with transportation, food and being taken care of I think it's a good deal. I still think it could be cheaper if you brought someone especially because I know how to eat on a budget.

The driver George is soo awesome. He had me laughing from the day he picked me up at the airport. He saw me and said "I know that's you" ????

I downloaded dulingo. While I'm here I'm hoping to brush up on my Spanish! Alao, I'm having a really hard time because I'm going through the worst break up of my life. My ex didn't even call to talk last night. I'm nervous, this is major surgery. I don't know what his problem is but I'm trying to focus on me and the positives in my life. Shout out to anyone going through a rough breakup!
