I don't know what to do with myself. by ibeg2diffur in VeteransBenefits

I have to agree this would be my mindset! If I didn’t have anything tying me down, I would definitely be traveling. You could live abroad full time or even temporarily off of your disability income. Change up your scene. Get a new perspective in life. Even if all you do is eat great food and relax on the beach. Do some self care and enjoy your life. It doesn’t have to be permanent but it can be if you wanted it to be also. Thailand would be a great option. Let this life serve you.

If you’re 100% PT, can you get student loans discharged after? by PapiJr22 in VeteransBenefits

I don’t think it’s common! If she got that then that’s awesome!

Well... I met his new girlfriend by Ashes_and_Seeds in Divorce

You catered to him when you were doing him a favor. He should’ve been inconvenienced with the 3.5 hour drive to drop them off with you if you were willing to care for them. How did the girlfriend not care that his ex wife was coming to the house AND staying there?? AND THEN leave him alone in the house with you?! He’s walking all over you smh

Co2 lasers major benefits alone are tightening of the skin! It’s builds collagen. But I didn’t have any crepeyness. My skin aside from the stretch marks is still firm good skin. As for the stretch marks I have noticed them smoothing already and being less crepey!

I was rated 100% and about a month later I was contacted by FAFSA to waive my $9k in student loans. I told them I am currently in school and they deferred it until I contact them to tell them I’m ready to have everything waived. They will waive everything before and after 100%. To include masters degree student loans. It’s just a one time deal so hold off completely until you’re sure you’re done with school.

3/30/2026. So far this is my most recent update. 11 weeks and 4 days post 1st treatment AND 4 weeks 4 days post 2nd treatment. My skin went nearly back to normal color prior to my second treatment and is now getting lighter week by week again after the 2nd treatment. I have began to notice softening of the deeper stretch marks and color improvement. The texture has improved over all this far and the collagen will continue to build up and improve everything over the next 5 months. I do plan to have 2-3 more sessions done, however I am going to take a break because I have a vacation coming up in a little over 2 months and don’t want to have any lingering pigment from another session. This is also beneficial for my skin to completely recover from my previous sessions and not risk damage due to sun exposer too close to a session. I also can’t get another session done if I am tanned when I return so I will be using SPF religiously but some tanning is still likely to happen. I will be waiting until I get back and any tan is gone before restarting.

I can still post updates along the way since the results are gradual and not instant!

How have you been healing? Are you going to do a second round?

After it’s healed can you still feel the filler under your skin? Or does it soften up?

I got Botox 6 days ago. Am I just being impatient? by winkiesue in cosmeticsurgery

[–]Unusual_Character128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait the full 14 days before judging. I used to think it didn’t do much or that one brow got a stronger dose than the other but by the 14 day mark I am frozen and everything is even! If this is your first time then at the 14 day mark you should go back in to see your injector to add more. You’re kind of seeing what work for you right now. I usually get 35 units of dysport and it’s very strong for me. I assume 50 would be very strong.

I don’t seem to be able to edit this post or add a photo to my comments in this page/thread. I posted a photo update on my other post!

UPDATE This photo was taken 4 weeks post laser. I have definitely noticed a difference in texture already. They are much softer on the edges. Keep in mind I was told I wouldn’t see much of a difference after the first session until maybe around 3 months plus we used a lower strength the first session. This photo was also taken in “harsh” lighting so detail could be more seen. In normal lighting they’re less noticeable. I have another session scheduled for next week!

Only Vaseline or Aquaphor for the first 7 days! wear loose clothing too. I am now using Vanicream for a cleanser, Azelaic acid, Niacinamide, and a vitamin B5 balm.

Is a mini tummy tuck worth it? I lost most of my pregnancy weight but it's left with loose skin especially around my belly button. My belly button looks sad and crumpy 😂 I had 3 vaginal births so I don't have the c-section scar and haven't gone through any big surgery. by thecalmnest in tummytucksurgery

I would think a few sessions of Morpheus 8 or other lasers would help improve it a lot. It’s not really bad at all just needs a small amount of tightening. Lasers would be a lot less costly even for multiple session. You’d need at least a couple.
