No plastics.
Postponed til labs are better and then have had oodles of family things I've been trying to deal with.   Sometimes the priority lists have to have some shuffeling.  Right now having any type of surgery is low on my "to do" list.

I'll just have to get my kicks out of seeing all the fabulous results Dr. Mazaheri is producing on my friends for now.  My turn will be up soon hopefully!  ...  Dr. M is all about safety and perfect recoveries to match the perfect results!   .....  Sooooo.....I'm chugging protein and increasing iron & other vites!

I'll console myself with a healthy session of Botox!  LOL!  You'll have to join me for a Botox party when you move our way!

Hugggzzz to you across the U.S.A!

Botox sounds interesting you will have to bring me along when I move there. Also I will want to have a consultation with Dr. M. some time next year.

Looking forward to attending support groups there. Hope everything goes well for you soon and you can resume your plans for plastics.

                                          Nothing fells better then being  thin. Take care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It won't be long for you Gail!  ....just get through the Holidays and then it'll be time to pack your moving van!

Just let me know when you're ready for the consult and we'll roll out the Mazaheri magical red carpet!  LOL!  ......We'll also have to throw a little get together of some type so you can meet the rest of Phoenix!
