Plastic Surgery
After losing over 100 pounds, I am certainly left needing surgery.
As a single mom, that is not something that is easily done.
So, I started researching getting the surgery done in other countries.
The reactions have been so mixed to this consideration.
On the website I chat on the most, everyone is telling me to go for it.
The one I have only a few entries on, everyone is telling me I’m crazy.
My free-spirted best friend read me the riot act.
My reserved friend who never takes chances is telling me to go for it.
No one, not one person, reacted like I thought they would.
But EVERYONE reacted.
The research continues.

I read an article in some magazine the other day day about overseas surgeries. I’ll try to find that article again bc they had a website that had several reviews and Pro’s and Con’s. It’s really interesting to read about- I think they called it "Medical Tourism". In the article I read the woman who was in dire need of a knee surgery and she was able to get it performed for $4000 instead of the $10,000 she would’ve had to pay for it here, even with insurance. It’s becoming more popular as well because of the "spa quality" recovery afterwards along with the lower price tag- and some American insurance companies are considering covering Medical Tourism. I will find that article again and I hope you make the decision that suits you best!!!
