I had a consultation today for SmartLipo on my arms. I'm looking at about $3200 to get my arms fixed, plus living expenses for about a week when I'll be stuck wearing an unsexy compression garment. I want to save up about a thousand in cash and put the rest on Care Credit... I'm reluctant to run up more debt, but honestly I think I'll make more money when my arms are fixed. They offered to schedule me for next week, and it was tempting but I'm not going to have the money by then. I hope I can pull it together ASAP though, because now that the weather's getting nice I want to run around in cute damn tank tops for the first time in my life!
Just going to the consultation felt awesome. I'm freaked out and terrified about the drugs and anaesthesia, but I hope it'll be worth it. He'll put me to sleep for the procedure, which REALLY freaks me out. It's not general anaesthesia (no tubes down the throat or paralysis), but I will be asleep and that terrifies me. I'm also concerned because he was talking about giving me Vicodin for afterward and I can't take Vicodin. 90% of the drugs out there (especially painkillers) make me really sick. The last time I took Vicodin I puked and dry-heaved nonstop for two days off ONE pill. The doc did offer to give me Phenergen, but I'm afraid to take that because I'm scared I might be poisoned or something if I don't puke up the drug. I hate how my body is so sensitive to shit like that.
So I'm concerned, but excited too. I hope I can do this. It's scary but the thought of finally having slim pretty arms and looking sexy in little strappy dresses...! Maybe FINALLY this summer!

I know, it's lame. Opiates make me hallucinate.
