Waiting.....

Summer is coming to an end and another semester of school is finished! I just met my new pcp today and everything is looking good, except my bmi is a little high. I informed him that I'm getting cosmetic surgery and showed him the labs and ekg I'll need with the clearance. I'll get all that the beginning of November.
I figure since things looked good i should book the hotel. If you book the courtyard Marriott you have to call, so they can apply the Mt. Sinai rate. 8 nights will be $2,373 for my stay; she said that's a busy time there the beginning of the week, so it's a bit high.
I think I'll hold off on ordering supplies until after i get cleared. I guess until November i just need to get train tickets, a loan, and tell my boss I'll be getting surgery and will be off 6 weeks. Lol i can already see he's gonna be worried. I'm just gonna tell him it's a woman thing, so he don't ask too much (a bbl is definitely a woman thing, so it's not a lie....right). In the meantime I'll be watching Dr. Schulman's snaps and keeping up with how you ladies are doing!

Any one out there that had a bbl, that can you help me? I've been confused when it comes to exercising. I am supposed to maintain my weight, so i stopped working out. The problem is I've already lost the little bit of tone that i did have (see pics from may). I was thinking of only doing weight training, but i'm wondering how that would affect my sx? Any thoughts on this ladies?

So I have to say this experience seems to be much less stressful, than when I was going to do it a couple of years ago in Atlanta. I had my phone consult and right away I really like Dr. Schulman. He is funny, personable, and honest. I did not feel rushed and he answered all my questions. He says I'll get a nice bubble with athletic and natural results, since I don't have much fat. I really love the fact that he doesn't want me to gain weight, unlike the other doctors!!! Needless to say I booked my sx that day and I'm set for December.

I have some time till I have to start booking stuff, but I'm already preplanning travel & the hotel. I'm thinking of taking Amtrak, so that when I go home I can ride in a sleeping car. For the hotel I think I just go to the Marriott since it's close and I'll get the discount.

Not much to do for now except wait till October for my clearance. Oh, and let my job know, but I'm gonna hold off till September for that. Luckily, I have plenty of sick time, so that's not a problem there.
I guess I'll just enjoy this summer and see what happens in the fall.
