Officially Team Perry

Well ladies on top of all of my other emotions, I now have to feel frustration, anger, upset, irritation and just an overwhelming level of being pissed off!!!

As I mentioned to you all several weeks ago, my price was quoted as $7199. When I talked with Nancy she noted that I still owed $7224! WTF?! My call was escalated to Ruben who told me he was "personally offended" that I felt there was an overwhelming amount of competence in the caring and nurturing department, yet when it comes to the financial aspects of the office, there was a an equal amount of competence lacking. It seems to me no one knows the actual prices - even the people who quote the prices. It seems that no one knows which documents have been sent out, received, etc. - even the people who sent them out. Are they really that busy???

On the other hand, my doctor, Dr. Ghurani, spent 20 minutes on the phone with me in the morning prior to his surgery to answer any and every question I had. His care resonated through the phone. I'm glad he will be my doctor (once this price thing gets cleared up).

Anyway, the office says that Dr. G has not charged $7199 since NOVEMBER! I got the quote in March and again 3 weeks ago. SMH. I couldn't talk to Ruben "freely" today as I was at work. He was kind enough to give me his cell phone number but I still don't have the peace inside me to speak with him politely yet. I am just too upset. At this point, it is a question of principal and integrity. I cannot be so anxious for this surgery that I don't demand that from the place I have selected to have my elective, expensive surgery.

To quote my grandmother - If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. I take my stand tomorrow. I remain pissed tonight. Will try for a better day tomorrow. Good night ladies.

In fourteen days, I will literally wake up with the body and booty of my dreams. I've got a few more things to buy on my list (a shower curtain, slippers, suction cups, hair bands) and I'll make a dollar store trip today. I'm going to have my prescriptions filled in Aventura at their local CVS. I'll have Nancy call them in. I plan on asking her to include a prescription for IBUPROFEN 800 mg. I'm not a big fan of western medicine pharmaceuticals so I plan on going with alternative medicine instead. I will see the herbalist this week for medicines that will help reduce bruising, swelling, scar tissue, and pain. I also will start acupuncture treatment when I get home to help speed up the healing process.

I hired a nurse who will help me out for only $15/hour. I called her two weeks ago and secured my dates 6/10 - 21 and she's booked. She will drive me to and from my appointments (dr visits and massages), take me shopping, wash my garment(s), and just plain - help me. She is a CNA and my blessing already.

I'm still rolling through my emotions but the strongest one is excitement. Each morning I lift up my stomach and say "in just a few weeks, you'll be gone." Then I look and my booty and say "and you'll be here." I'm putting my Nicki Minaj in the back - instead of the front. LOL

I really want more liposuction than booty. once most of the fat is removed, my booty will look bigger anyway. right?

Questions for the doctor include:

Can you give me back dimples?
What type of scarring is to be expected?
How will determine evenness?
If there is an emergency, which hospital is contacted?
Is the surgical insurance necessary if I have my own insurance?
Who will be in the surgery room?

Can I pick where he takes the most fat? I want it from my thighs, then abs, then flanks, then back - THIGHS FIRST!! LOL

Oh and I got my hotel on hotwire.com. Okay, I'll keep you guys updated as time progresses.

EEEEEEEEE!!!!
