Had my 3 month appt today and my surgeon was aghast at my appearance. He kept going back to my "before" pic in his file and just couldn't believe it. He said I looked 20 years younger.

He anticipates another 40-45 pounds off by my 6 month appt and said if I meet that goal (personally I was hoping to lose more than that by then), he wants to use me for his marketing materials and on his website. Based on my body frame, he wants me at 170. So that would still put me 30 lbs above goal... but I'm thinking he just wants to get a commitment from me at that point, and still have me hit his goal. I'm the photographer... not used to being asked to be on the other side of the lens.

On the fence about self-pay options and if Mexico is the right choice (or scared of that option)? Let my experience (first time ever in Mexico) be your guide. Don't let fear hold you back!
