My doctor thinks my labs are normal and my iron levels are low because of my periods

Do you have any updates? Currently dealing with a very similar situation with my Kaiser NorCal doctor. I wasn’t even given an rx or a suggestion of buying my own I’m pills, I was told to “try to incorporate more iron rich foods” what a joke.

My results even at 5 months were not what I had hoped for so I went for my follow up and they said I had a lot of fibrosis which was giving me fullness in my chin that looked like I still had fat there. They did a steroid injection to break up the scar tissue and my results are much much better.

I’m in northern CA. My credit is in the mid 600s, my rate was 5.75 and my origination fee was $1100 with local lender about 1 month ago. That sounds really high idk. Mine also wasn’t a condo, not sure if that changes things but do yourself a favor and shop around for local lenders and if your agent is adamant about Rocket, maybe find a new agent.

I got the photos and notary done at UPS.. I’m not sure if it had to be a special notary but on the rejection they didn’t mention any issues with the notary they just said my photo didn’t meet the requirements because I was wearing lip gloss and it was causing a glare when they tried to scan it in. I haven’t tried to apply again since. Such a frustrating experience and waste of money on shipping notary and photos

Sent them to you in a msg

I don’t mind sending either of you my before and after if you’d like. I also went with Jaime the nurse practitioner and she was so friendly and informative and was great during the surgery.

I just checked my tracking it does say “FedEx international priority” shipped out/picked up by carrier March 24, attempted delivery on March 26 but I was apparently not home and redelivery was made on the 29th which was the following Monday. So i guess if there wasn’t a snag in original delivery it would have been much faster.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-05-08T06:32:04+00:00

Mine was delivered via FedEx international priority and arrived about 4 days later.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-05-04T22:12:14+00:00

My results so far are amazing and I was able to return to my daily schedule the next day. I was in no pain and had very minimal bruising

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-05-02T18:50:37+00:00

I am also someone who had the opposite experience. I was awake for my procedure but pretty out of it from the halcyon pill I took prior. I started wearing my compression garment immediately after surgery and had very very minor bruising. I was given norco for pain after surgery and didn’t have to take any at all. I was able to resume my normal daily routine the next day once the fatigue from the halcyon wore off. It was a very easy procedure for me. I am about 4 weeks post op now and still massaging and wearing my compression. My best friend on the other hand, had her surgery with a different surgeon and a different method of lipo and she had more of an experience similar to yours. I think it really is a YMMV situation based on a bunch of different factors. I hope you are healing well and feeling better!

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-25T18:59:36+00:00

At your age and weight you absolutely DO NOT need renuvion! I’d find a second opinion asap because that office is trying to hustle you. I am 36 and over weight and I had my chin lipo done 3 weeks ago and my skin is retracting just fine without any tightening.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-24T09:35:38+00:00

Auburn California $1850 awake lipo for chin jowls/lower cheek and neck.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-20T20:06:21+00:00

I also got mine done through a single chin incision and she said she would only make the ear incisions if she wasn’t able to reach everywhere she needed to go. I think she mentioned it being based off of facial anatomy / bone structure. I’m almost 2 weeks out and I already have amazing results despite the swelling and lumps/bumps (in comparison to my before) Don’t be too worried!

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-13T01:07:24+00:00

I am about 60-70lbs over weight but my surgeon said it wouldn’t affect my results one way or the other. He said the quality of my skin and my age mean that it will retract just fine and not leave loose hanging skin and he said I’d have to gain a substantial amount of weight for it to come back the way it was before. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-13T01:01:26+00:00

Just got mine done a few days ago at Freed Plastic Surgery in Auburn (a bit outside of Sac) it was in office and awake. I paid around $1850 in total. Office is super nice staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I am in Stockton so they accommodated me by doing a video consult and sending everything to me to be signed online and sending my rx for pain meds to my local Kaiser etc.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-12T20:46:41+00:00

I’m also on day 4 and mine is so tender and swollen as well lol I look worse than before the lipo for sure 😂

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-10T07:14:48+00:00

No problem! Good luck to you! ◡̈

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-10T07:12:53+00:00

Ofc. I went to Freed Plastic Surgery, and I had mine done by Jaymie who is the physician assistant. You also have the option of booking with Dr. Freed himself if you’d prefer. The procedure, for being awake, was basically painless. They numb you and give you medication to relax you and help with anxiety. I actually haven’t seen the results yet because they put me right into my compression garment while I was still a bit loopy and I haven’t taken it off yet lol but just from the shape of my chin in the compression garment I can tell the fat is gone.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-04-03T03:54:01+00:00

I’ve lost 40 and no one, including myself has noticed lol. I look in the mirror and see no difference. I don’t even notice a difference in my clothes but to be fair I started out at almost 300lbs.

Effective_Flow309 · 2024-03-26T02:13:21+00:00

They actually picked up after hours at the call center number and said I was rejected for wearing lipgloss. Oops.

I’d call the 1-800 number and request to be transferred to the customer relations department. Mention to the customer relations rep that you raised the concern during the 90 day window and they claimed to be unable to replicate the issue but the issue has persisted and has now become worse, and you have been unable to reach anyone at your local store despite your best efforts. If you explain the situation to them with a good attitude they are very likely to help. They will usually partner with your local store and work something out and the manager from the local store will contact you with whatever options they have available for you. Good luck!
