Consultation #5

Tomorrow I’m going to have a consultation with a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon (that narrows it down, right?)

This one costs $150.

I have high hopes for this doctor so I hope I’m not too disappointed.  I’m still looking for the person who I feel really confident about – about their skills and about their understanding and committment to doing what I want, or trying to do it. 

This is a doctor who does a lot of post-bariatric work.  I’m hoping he’s seen someone almost as bad as me.

What a hard decision this is – you’re choosing who to put your life in the hands of, and your future happiness with your body and yourself, and your money, because if they do a bad job and it doesn’t kill you, you’ll probably have to have it redone somewhere else. 

I don’t mind the consultation fees too much.   It feels like you ought to have to spend some money and effort on deciding who to trust that much.
