Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello and welcome back to the MathSony podcast and welcome to part four of this little Bali investigation series into the world's fastest growing cosmetic surgery craze which is rib recontouring which still sounds quite silly to say if I'm being honest and welcome to a plot twist that I don't think any of us saw coming because I can now let you know that
Chapter 2: Why did Bec decide not to go through with her surgery?
beck did not go through with her scheduled procedure and at this moment right now as i'm recording her ribs remain exactly as god intended them to be and yeah the last 24 hours or so here in bali amongst all these influencers who most of them have now had it done has just been quite the whirlwind if i'm going to be honest and before we get into like what happened why beck
didn't go through with it and why she changed her mind.
I'm just going to take you to the very start of the day, which was Beck and I on the back of a golf buggy randomly, because that's what takes these influencers, like the literal 90 second journey from the resort to the fancy cosmetic surgery hospital place, which is all like in the same wellness complex, which I didn't even know where there was a thing. I thought Bali was just Bintang.
Chapter 3: What was the atmosphere like at the cosmetic surgery hospital?
singlets and drunk Australians, but no, there's a whole wellness resort. Anyway, yeah, here is Bec and I at the start of the day as she was on her way to surgery. All right, on the way to hospital.
On the way. Getting nervous.
Chapter 4: How did Bec feel about the surgery as she approached the hospital?
Yeah, this feels a bit weird. I've never taken a golf buggy to a hospital before.
I know. From like a beautiful five-star resort to a five-star hospital. It's wild, right?
Chapter 5: What led to Bec's change of heart about the surgery?
Are you nervous for me?
Slightly.
Do you think I'm crazy?
Yes. I also think it's not too late to back out.
You've been telling me to back out from the moment I've got here. Literally every minute of the day. Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
Only because I know your story more than all the other girls. Everyone's got their own reason, but I just don't think you're ready.

Chapter 6: What are the perceptions of the hospital and its facilities?
I'm not a psychologist or a therapist, but that's my take on it all.
I'm mentally in the best place I've ever been. And you can see that, surely. Like, I'm fine. I'm not sitting here like... I'm not sitting here like, my life is shit.
Chapter 7: How did Bec's experience compare to other influencers who had surgery?
Now, when I came to Bali to do this, I had initially planned on documenting every single part of this whole journey, including like as Beck was marked up, you know, inside their like drawer on their bodies, throwing all that stuff and get them in the gowns. But as we arrived at the hospital, instead of going like upstairs with Beck, I actually thought,
I'm not sure I want to do that anymore or be that present for like every single step. And I thought maybe my documentation should pick up just later in the day once Beck has like woken up and she's back at the hotel we're staying. And this is where I think I'm going to leave you because I don't actually think I want to document beyond this. I'll just...
I'm laughing because I'm still like, you can just back out. I will wish you luck and See you on the other side. But now, and here is the interesting thing, because as I returned to the hotel after we just filmed that last clip and Beck went upstairs, I was planning on just hanging out by the pool for the day because I thought, hey, she's going to be at least, what, three, four hours?
Chapter 8: What factors influenced Bec's decision-making process?
Like, even though the procedure is only 40 minutes itself, you know, there's all the pre-surgery stuff, post-surgery stuff, like the checks and the... You know, there's actually this belief I'm seeing a lot. Like I wouldn't trust going to Bali for surgery. I wouldn't trust these overseas hospitals. And I'm going to be honest, I felt the same prior to coming here.
But having seen this whole area, like I am actually impressed that, to be honest, it's nicer than the hospital I went to in Sydney. And they take all this stuff like very, very, very, very, very, very seriously to the point that it seems a bit unnecessary, but that's a good thing anyway.
What I'm trying to say is I came back here expecting to like actually have what could be half a day of holiday here in Bali where I could drink a bintang by the pool because this whole thing has randomly taken quite a toll on me in a weird way. Like it's been... I find it hard to switch off quite a lot in my life. I go from project to project. And when I'm in a project, I get very invested.
I can't just like be on the outside looking in and do like a surface level thing. I often find, and this is a problem sometimes, but also you could say to a positive because it means I give my everything back.
to everything but like with this i did think i'd also be able to like come and document this and have a have a little bit of a holiday but even in the few hours here and there i've had where i don't need to work or edit or record or speak to people i just haven't been able to switch off and relax because i think i'm just thinking about this all constantly and how Silly, I find it.
And how I wish we could change things, but hey, we can't. Anyway, yeah, so I planned on having half the day to myself to chill, but then my phone pings. And it was back and I hadn't even made it to the pool yet and ordered a bintang. And she's like, I'm coming back. And I'm like, wait, what? And she had changed her mind. And I was like, wait, what? I literally just left you at the hospital.
And as she said, she was coming back. I was like, oh shit. So I immediately like grabbed the mics and started the camera guy and like set up for once she was back and ready to explain everything. And yeah, here is... me and Beck talking when she did make it back to the hotel. So you didn't get the surgery done?
No. So I went to the hospital like all the other girls have got it done now. And they all seem happy. They're not in agony. I went to the hospital. It's state of the art. It's beautiful. Like one of the most amazing hospitals I've ever seen in my life.
But you...
