I met with my plastic surgeon 5 years ago the last time I lost a lot of weight pre-VSG. I didn't follow through with it and here I am again wanting plastics. I have another consultation with him in 2 weeks (it's been too long since the last one, so I have to do it again understandably). But his February special was a substantial discount on the LBL. Surgery needs to be done before 5/31. Except it had to be claimed by today (20% deposit, refundable if he doesn't think I'm ready or the dates don't work or I chicken out). So I bit the bullet and put my deposit down. Yikes! It just got more real!
I've read so much here, but I'm going to have lots of questions for all of you...

Thanks yes Mexican is tough place to go. Hard to stay on plan. I know my kids always enjoy it. I will look at menus ... my husband and kids like fish maybe Spanish would have that. I don't like fish. I will have to see menu and chicken and beef choices.
I took a look at the menus for the Spanish vs Mexican and the Spanish had a lot more low carb options. The Mexican had a lot of flour/corn tortillas and those are things I have trouble staying away from if I'm presented with them.

The receptionist at Dr. Michael's mentioned that cup cake place.... the family will love it. I get bad RH and on the wagon these days so will not ! Can't slip I am too close to being back on the saddle!
i will look up the restaurants. I wonder if the Mexican is good? Might be best with the girls. Hard to find decent Mexican Restaurants in general.
We found a Russian restaurant that was in Georgetown online that looked interesting that we thought might go without the girls one night called Mari vanna.
i am a shopper and so are my girls! History might go out the window! That would be a shame for my husband ! I can't let that happen! I already told him not going to hollocaust museum way too depressing... I will stay back at the hotel with the dog! And sneak out shopping ( I was thinking lol!). He found a spy and mystery museum ... that sounded more interesting!!

Good to know... I was told by Leah (on phone and I am sure not written in stone , rough estimate) $11k for LBL (total) and arms at same time would be $4k additional....$15k total (discount given for doing all at once).
She said if separate would be $7k for arms. Told me figure $7k for each, as you said, with exception of the discount I mentioned above due to doing at same time.
iwas at first only asking about LBL and arms for now ....I then discussed BL as well, which would be my last priority, a nice to have but not as much. She said could probably do all 3 at once she thinks but Dr. M would know for sure. Based on what she told me I figured another $6 or $7k which would bring to $21k or $22k (was guessing $6k for BL as thought maybe another discount if at same time? I never got the price for all 3 at same time). Lot to think about!
Thanks!
