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?

24.922 - 51.486 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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

51.668 - 54.151 Olen Shannon Maldonado

didn't go through with it and why she changed her mind.

0

54.191 - 78.857 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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?

78.837 - 94.614 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

0

95.075 - 98.939

On the way. Getting nervous.

0

Chapter 4: How did Bec feel about the surgery as she approached the hospital?

100.561 - 103.644 Olen Shannon Maldonado

Yeah, this feels a bit weird. I've never taken a golf buggy to a hospital before.

0

103.664 - 111.077

I know. From like a beautiful five-star resort to a five-star hospital. It's wild, right?

0

Chapter 5: What led to Bec's change of heart about the surgery?

111.097 - 111.978

Are you nervous for me?

0

112.959 - 113.68 Olen Shannon Maldonado

Slightly.

0

115.882 - 116.763

Do you think I'm crazy?

0

118.104 - 120.947 Olen Shannon Maldonado

Yes. I also think it's not too late to back out.

0

127.334 - 134.241

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.

135.892 - 142.402 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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?

146.048 - 150.214 Olen Shannon Maldonado

I'm not a psychologist or a therapist, but that's my take on it all.

0

150.234 - 163.755

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?

165.895 - 188.258 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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,

0

189.284 - 216.321 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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...

0

217.077 - 243.876 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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?

0

Chapter 8: What factors influenced Bec's decision-making process?

243.956 - 264.219 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

0

264.259 - 281.458 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

0

281.438 - 303.729 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

0

303.769 - 316.828 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

0

316.808 - 339.688 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

341.392 - 366.891 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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.

367.731 - 387.93 Olen Shannon Maldonado

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?

390.073 - 410.676

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.

411.276 - 412.037 Olen Shannon Maldonado

But you...
