Hey gals! Cancelled surgery!

Hello ladies!!! I know you guys were a little worried about me. Just saw your comments and I'm so sorry I didn't post updates or respond to your comments. I've been traveling from NY to dubai to abu dhabi to NY again then Atlanta and Miami. I decided to do coolsculpting instead of bbl to get rid of the little bit of fat in my back and belly because its not a lot of fat and with coolsculpting its non anesthesia, non surgical, non invasive and the fat melts after 6 weeks.Doing cool sculpting procedure next month and I will upload before and after pix in late December because thats when I will see results. I felt that my butt was already a good size and all i need is to do is get back to my squats and wear waist trainers(My butt gets very big when i stay on top of my squats and keep my weight). I think this was best because adding more fat from my stomach to my butt would have not been proportioned with my bottom legs and may have turned out awkward. I don't have very big bottom legs. 

Girls I'm thinking about cancelling my BBL surgery

So I've been reading more on this fat embolism stuff and although its a rare occurrence, its very scary. I would love to have a beautiful body but I love my life even more and have a career and love and family to come home to. There were two women that died in the past few years at Vanity in Miami and this was from fat embolisms. Now they mentioned in these articles that the surgeons responsible were not board certified plastic surgeons but I'm still freaking out. Then I came across the old stories about Kanye West mom's death and still no one has confirmed the cause of it. The surgeon is saying she had extensive surgery (lipo+tummy tuck+breast implant) and that he advised her to go to a facility to heal but instead she chose to let her nephew who is a nurse care for her. Apparently, he left her alone to go to a baby shower and she was lying on her back and choked. Other than this, there was no info from the autopsy. What do you girls think I should do? I'm going to try to have a consultation with Ghurani before I pay but I just want to know what you girls think. I know Ghurani is double board certified and left Vanity and is now at Spectrum Aesthetics. I'm wondering if he separated from Vanity because of their malpractice and to protect his reputation.

The internet really messes with your head pre-operation, think I'm gonna stop surfing

So, I was online today and came across a patient saying she was worried that she wouldn't wake up from general anesthesia and right away I started to worry as well and relate to her concerns, even though I had already start to put my surgery fears aside and stopped thinking of any negativity. Now although this person may have been gullible and not knowledgeable of modern day general anesthesia, it still resonate with me. Now after I came across that anecdotal post, I came across a post on Instagram by the California Surgical Institute saying BBLs last between 7-12 years!! Like whaaaat? All the research I did stated that it is permanent once done by a skilled surgeon that deposits the fat in the right areas. What is this surgeon talking about? Why is he saying this?Why the hell did I have to come across these posts? This is what the internet does to you. Too many folks with keyboards that are able to say any and everything. Like for real...damn you internet... Now I will be stressing until God knows when. Does that ever happen to any of you girls??? You are excited one day and stressed the hell out and nervous the next day? This whole thing is like a roller coaster! The anxiety is so real... I try to keep calm but its so hard.
