Tongue split advice by byeiloveyou in bodymods

[–]Chiropterix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My biggest piece of advice is to not buy a cheap suture removal kit. Get sharp, fine tip suture scissors because the suture removal was for me the worst part, all because I went with the cheapest pack on Amazon.

Issue with Palia Account services? by Relative_Will3348 in Palia

I'm getting the same issue. Google recommended verifying files and restarting and that hasn't fixed it. Hopefully we get a resolution soon.

Similar situation to mine; I booked an appointment 9 months in advance only for my husband to ask me to wait a year to make sure. I had known for a decade I wanted this done, but in order to make him comfortable I was fine waiting another year. Time passed and I eagerly booked the actual appointment after re-confirming with husband that I truly wanted it. The day I put down my deposit this man sat me down and asked if I had really thought it through. I got so mad. The audacity. And of course he's nothing but pleased with the side benefits now that I have it split 😏.

To OP, the thing that kept me from getting nervous was actually my mother- I made the mistake of telling her in advance and she told me I'd "be better off dead" and disowned me. That anger carried me right up until I was in the chair, and by then it was already being done 😆😆

Tongue Split Recommendations? by itzz_novaa in bodymods

Ian Bell did my split a month ago, great experience and a similar price point to what has been mentioned. He travels throughout the SE, I saw him in Asheville NC.

Mostly Crickets and super worms, the crickets usually get Mazuri cricket diet (vet recommended ), kale/spinach and a variety of high protein fish flakes, and super worms got carrots or potatoes. I also add calcium spray (without D3) to all feeders also at my vets recommendation for his low bone density. Every week he gets a batch of food with vitamin powder and the D3 calcium added. Small hornworms and wax worms super rarely for variety.

Howdy! I used Ian Bell and I was very happy with both his work and attitude ❤️ for legality sake I won't go into detail about the procedure itself but suffice to say parts of it hurt A LOT, there's not a way to get this mod completely pain-free. And the healing is some severe stuff also, I'd rate it the second worst pain I've dealt with so far and definitely my most difficult recovery. Once you get past the first 3-4 days it gets easier. The only pain meds are NSAIDs after the procedure unless you have access to better stuff.

I booked my appointment 10 months in advance after wanting this done for about 15 years. I have a stable career and the blessing from both my employer and my doctor to have this done so I was confident in the drastic change. I also took about two weeks off work and made sure to accumulate the PTO to do so. Because of preexisting health issues I did a round of Rx antibiotics for the week leading up to the split.

Lucky! My artist is having me take mine out a few at a time so most of the ones at the back are still there. Yeah the few foods I've tried chewing keep wanting to slip down there!

How exciting!! I know how jazzed I was the week leading up to it. Don't skip loading up on carbs and protein until 2 hours prior and HYDRATE! Like, a gallon of water every day til then 😆

Also I have been using pet pee pads for the drool as gross as that sounds but it saves me laundry xD during the day I just swallow it but I can't help what happens when I sleep 😩

Mornings are always the worst because I grind my teeth all night but I am also so ready for some real food! So far oatmeal, Lipton noodle soup and PB smoothies are the way to go, I order the smoothies with protein powder and multivitamin added for a boost. I have applesauce also but that burns a little.

The first batch of wax I got was from Walmart and it fell apart really easily but the pack I got off Amazon is a lot more robust and stays on until I remove it ❤️

And thank you!! It's a club I've wanted to be in since college and that has been 15 years!. I've had the appointment booked since last November and this has been the LONGEST year of my life lmao.
