I'm all booked in! I fly out to Prague on the 30th June, surgery is on the 1st July.
The Clinic
Surgery in the UK is extremely expensive so I looked at options abroad. Being in Europe definitely has its advantages as it's only 1-2 hours away from countries with cheaper options.
I decided on Prague because it has stricter rules and regulations on medical procedures, especially compared with some of the other cheaper countries.
After reading reviews online and doing some more research I shortlisted the clinics to Beauty in Prague and Forme Clinic. I have gone with Beauty in Prague as they had the dates I wanted.
So far their service has been amazing. A very lovely lady called me straight away and made it clear she was available if I had any questions. The process has been smooth and professional, I feel very confident with them.
My procedure
I want to get as much fat as possible removed from my stomach, flanks, hips and thighs. You can't tell but I exercise regularly (6-7 classes a week, mostly spin and body pump) but I just can't shift the fat.
Im really self conscious about my hips and stomach in particular and I'm looking forward to not having to worry that my muffin top is showing!
For me, having the surgery is about increasing my confidence.
I'm not nervous yet but I'm sure that will come!

Date change for procedure
jhbh2July 2, 2015
Unforseen circumstances have meant I've had to change the date of my surgery, which I'm incredibly disappointed about.
Though the weather in the UK is unbelievably hot and humid at the moment (up to 40C) which would have been hideous to come back to in a compression garment, so maybe it's for the best...
New date for surgery is 12th August, which seems ages away at the moment.
The Clinic were great though and really accommodating with the change of plan, luckily I didn't lose my deposit.

My surgery went ahead on the 29th June in Prague. I was really terrified when it actually got there but I am 2 weeks post op tidy and am really impressed so far. The bruising is by far the worst thing. After 10 days you can sit comfortably again and the bruising is nearly gone. Good luck! And if you want any info just ask! I am only 2 weeks ahead of you!

Surgery Day

Today is the day!
I'd been completely relaxed about the whole thing up until yesterday when I started to get twinges of nerves.
I didn't sleep well last night - but that's not unusual for me - and woke up looking more than a little rough and rumbled.
Beauty in Prague have been fantastic, really efficient and friendly.
I've already had my blood test this morning which I was nervous about but I barely felt it! The nurse was fantastic!
I'm struggling to open up and talk about the surgery, a couple of close friends know I'm in Prague for surgery but they all think it's just for a chin implant (I'm having that too). I'm not sure why I'm so embarrassed about it but I am, and I can't bring myself to confess to everyone back home.
Because I've been so uncomfortable and careful about discussing the surgery these last few months; I'm struggling to talk to the nurses too.
Another patient was collected from the airport the same time as me and asked what I was having done, and I spun the chin story again.
I'm embarrassed and embarrassed about being embarrassed! (Story of my life!)
ANYWAY, nerves aren't too bad at the moment. The hospital is lovely and clean, very beautifully decorated. Puts a lot of UK hospitals to shame!
I have a lot of waiting around to do as my surgery isn't until 4pm, but there are tests and further consultations to keep me busy until then!
