I HAVE A DATE

 A date for skin removal, that is!

I got my updated quote back from the surgeon in Mexico... his results are AMAZING and the price just can't be beat.  For all procedures, he costs less than one of the procedures in the US.  I really expected his prices to go up significantly due to his popularity (he's booking 11 months out right now!) but it only went up about $900 since last time I got a quote from him.

But the best news of all of this...  I decided to proceed with my deposit and when I sent it, I was careless and accidentally added an extra 0 to the end.  This left me basically paying for my surgery in full rather than just making the deposit (I owe $1000 more).  When I called the office to explain what happened and request my surgery date, due to my mistake, they were willing to move me WAYYYYY up the list.  Instead of having surgery in July/Aug 2022, they gave me a date of.....



JANUARY 27, 2022.  


Whhhhhhat?!!?


That's 5 months away!  I'm super excited, nervous, scared.... but mostly I'm just thankful to have the ability to do it- both financially and the (reluctant) support of my partner.  I don't think Mr. Banker is super thrilled- he has never cared either way if I have the surgery or not from an aesthetic standpoint, but I know he worries about me having surgery so far away and especially now with COVID on the rise.  I'm just going to hope that COVID stays controlled enough to be able to do it on January 27.  Now I have even more of a reason to keep to this diet!

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
