Cool - u were in the back of my mind throughout the whole discussion. My friend is the complete opposite from me and is telling no one. I on the other hand am an open book and love talking and learning about what to expect - good and bad.
My friend just got back to Perth Australia yesterday, and said she doesn't regret mx for a min and has had minimal pain and discomfort - sounds like she is one of the luckier ones - ESP for having to travel so far afterwards.
I have never been one to be mean to someone but I will def stick up for myself. It was heated but my weight is my one super sensitive spot! Lol
