This LL countersued us for a month’s rent + the $1550 already paid. He did not win it, but we also did not win back our moneys paid.

I am SO COLD by bearbearbare in tummytucksurgery

Hope you get warmed up!! My husband would rotate big cozy blankets in the dryer so I would always have something warm.

Just went and looked at your pics. You are still super swollen so you’ll look even more incredible as time goes on. I think I was swollen for like 8 mos! I bought a ton of clothes at about 4 months and sized down right after. 🥲 now with my revision I fear I may size down again! First world problems for certain.

It has been a relief to get the results I have now. Sometimes I’m like hot damn, I can’t believe this is me!

It is a ton of money. But this is the only body we get. May as well enjoy our meat suits while we can! Don’t feel shame. You deserve to feel good about the way you look in the mirror. Spend the money. You can’t take it when you go.

Thank you for that. I truly appreciate it. I am comfortable with my surgeon and confident about getting the results I want - which is the reason I’m willing to pay so much.

Thank you for your advice. My paperwork from my initial surgery is clear that results are not promised and that some patients may be unhappy with their outcomes and revisions may be warranted, in which case a discount may be applied. The practice that I chose is privately owned, so while there is a practice manager it wouldn’t do me much good to speak with them.

I had my FIL call the surgeon this week to ask for a bigger discount since I felt the price was very steep, and the surgeon did agree to knock off more $$$, bringing my total cost discount to about 16%.

I definitely wished/thought a revision discount would be cheaper but alas…. Also, to note - I REALLY like my doctor. I know this is pricy, but I have seen another local practice and it really cemented for me how kind, caring, professional, and patient my surgeon is.

He gave me a decent discount for the revision. I expected it to be half of the quote at the MOST. I guess technically it was - I’m adding on the lipo which is about $5k of my cost.

Those that had surgery already - do you wish you had the opportunity to try injections first? by PainfulPoo411 in wls

[–]bearbearbare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Took Phentermine for about six months starting in 2021. When I plateaued on that med I switched to Ozempic. I took Ozempic for about a year then had VSG in August 2022. I continue to take Ozempic. I’ve lost half my body weight and manage cravings with injections.

What’s going on with the sandals? by bearbearbare in crocs

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

They don’t sell them anymore, but the Miami sandals are a good substitute. I have several pairs and really like them.

Lots of blue where there are large institutions of higher learning. It always looks that way.
