I’ve been a little slow on the updates because that’s the
only speed at which I roll, but I was finally motivated to come post because… I
SCHEDULED MY MOFO SURGERY! Basically I
will only care enough to update this blog when I have some kind of
surgery-related update or something else that is entirely superficial and
me-centric.
To backtrack a little, I had a second consultation with a
different surgeon about a month ago but I didn’t like him. I wanted to, because his office is really
close to my work and to my parents’ house where I’ll be vacationing for the
week or so following surgery, and I’d heard good things about him, but I found
him kind of stand-offish and he spent a lot less time with me during the
appointment than the first doctor. Then
I got too lazy to do any more consultations and I had such a good experience with
the first one that I was like boom, it’s happening. Talked to my boss about it, ran the
scheduling by my parents, paid the deposit, and it’s on the books. April 1, 2015. I got all of the pre-op paperwork today, most
of which I don’t have to do anything with until about a month out, but it was
SO DAMN EXCITING!
As I think I mentioned, I’m doing arms and stomach. Those 2 procedures can be done together and
they’re really the most I can get done and still afford to eat. And you know this bitch likes to eat. Every time I do kickboxing in a tank top I’m
like, I’m SO over these arms. I want new
ones! Or just surgically sliced up ones! In theory if I can lose 5 pounds or so before
the surgery that’d be cool but I don’t know that it will matter much either
way. That was one of the things that annoyed
me with the second doctor- he said my arms are basically just muscle and skin
so there’s no more weight to lose there but that my stomach still has some fat
(which, duh, I’m certainly no waif) and that he recommended losing 5-6 pounds
before the surgery. I mean, OBVS I’m
trying to do that anyway, but the first doctor said it really wouldn’t make any
difference, especially at my height. So
really, I liked the first doctor because he said the stuff I wanted to
hear. Clearly that’s good medicine right
there.
ANYWAY, I’ll definitely be taking some before pictures
between now and April of the stomach and arms but TBD when I actually post
them. I want some comparison pics
first! I will try to update with any
random thoughts I have about the upcoming surgery but really if I post ever
again it’ll probably be about much stupider stuff like what I’m having for
lunch or why I still hate running.
BYE FOR NOW.
