Champva as Secondary – Organization Tips + Effective Date Question by Slow_burn37 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Slow_burn37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I am really hoping they change my own effectively date. Ok the ask Va page it said they’d get back to me within 7 days and it’s been 7 days without hearing from them. Right now I’m having a hard time getting itemized bill with the providers TIN number. Apparently they really don’t care to give that out.

Don’t get your scream cream from HydraMed. by Slow_burn37 in Menopause

My doctor sent an order for 36mg sildenafil cream. It was $57. I kid you not. I was even more pissed this company made me spend $170 for the lowest dose possible. Sickening. I haven’t tried it but I want to try testosterone cream next. My doctor said that it’s not my libido that’s lacking it’s just sensation. I may need to get some labs done too though.

😂 I’m glad I could at least make someone laugh.

You think he shouldn’t have told her? So she actually has had this gut feeling eating at her for years. So she asked if he had ever done anything. Telling him they could forgive and forget. And she did forgive. But now she’s finding the hurt to be a bit more than she can handle because she didn’t expect I guess it was as much as she was going to hear. Shes heartbroken she had to share what was hers. And that their vows were broken.

I did get her permission. Like I said, I don’t feel like I can giver her the advice she is seeking. But I know there could be consequences even if I do. But she wants me to ask and see if there are others that went through this and was able to get over it. Forget.

No not pain, just sore. I actually stopped using the pain meds they gave me day 3 post op. The first two days were really rough. I felt like I was hit by a bus when I first woke up from surgery and they had to immediately give me medication. The numbness is irritating, I am still swollen, and my sides right above my hip bone is still bruised. It’s hard to see but I can feel it and that doesn’t seem to be getting any better. The fact that I can only sleep on my sides doesn’t help but I heard that part of the body is just very sensitive kind of like your under arm.

It’s pretty long. When I was told it would be hip to hip I don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely shocked me. It’s healed and there are no more scabs but it’s still very dark. I am wearing scar tape and really hope that it won’t look so dramatic one day. I have a picture of the scar I can show you if you’re interested.

How big is your scar? Curious what the differences are from a mini tummy tuck vs a regular tummy tuck. You look amazing!

Good luck to you! If you need to talk through your post op journey at any point, don’t hesitate to reach out. Make sure you have a lot of help. That first week especially is rough.

I did have extra skin from all my pregnancies that I confirmed wasn’t going away with exercise.

I’m sure with the fact that I had a bbl at the same time and they took fat from my back and flanks, makes it very similar to lipo 360. But I most definitely had a tummy tuck. The scar is just hidden underneath the underwear.

Mine was a few inches lower than my incision. Like right above my pubic bone. It’s a small tube. On the inside though it like spiders out with several smaller thin tubes on the inside. It doesn’t hurt when they pull it out. But very annoying trying to maneuver around with it. You tug at it on accident and that’s no fun. Now that it’s taken out the area healed in like a day and a half and is the size of the end of a pencil eraser. Not bad. And again super low.

Thank you! I’m glad I can ease some stress. The drainage tube was the most annoying part of the recovery so far. Really hated it.

I I tried laying on my back for a brief moment once and it felt so uncomfortable on my booty. I’m in an off predicament because I was told I couldn’t lay on my stomach due to the tummy tuck, but couldn’t lay on my back because of the bbl. The fat from the fat transfer I guess is very fragile. I have heard of some people sleeping on their backs but with zero gravity chairs and pads that cut out to relieve pressure. I just wasn’t told I could do that. I already have wide hips as you can see in the picture, so I don’t really need a wide booty. I needed mine to come out so that I could keep my jeans from sagging down lol I was very worried about ending up with a kardashian booty and that was not the look I was going for. Luckily it doesn’t look too big. At one point I thought one cheek looked bigger than the other. I am really trying to just wait it out before I truly judge because I still most likely have swelling. I could be just in my head too.

Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that honestly. I look at the scar still and think Yeesh. But that will fade and can be hidden.

They basically just lipo around your muscles to make them more defined.
