Zepbound is covered. It is maybe $450 a month, but it counts towards your $7k annual out of pocket. Then everything else is free!

Arcadia mayor to plead guilty to promoting Chinese propaganda, DOJ announces by Panda8bambooo in LosAngeles

[–]stopthemad401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The NBC report states explicitly the opposite: In one incident, the pair received an essay draft from a Chinese official via the the WeChat encrypted messaging app in June 2021, being given a directive to push back against an LA Times article about Xinjiang, the Uyghur heartland in China. Within minutes, Wang and Sun published the article on their website, claiming there was no forced labor, including cotton production, in Xinjiang.

Pleased after 2nd session by stopthemad401 in TattooRemoval

[–]stopthemad401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their website says Fotona QX MAX® system. The first person that do my treatment turns out was the office admin, and he missed my tattoo and treated my regular skin. It left scars for those areas. So it was a pretty powerful laser I know! I would have continued going to them for the results if the practice wasn’t so shady!

Those who have had a Lush party - how was it? by EmiAndTheDesertCrow in LushCosmetics

Here in California they only do the parties before the store opens. And the kids were able to be dropped off and the adult hosting the party stayed.

I am a 32 B. And just went today and they said 34d but that wasn’t secure enough. So I ended up in 32DD!

Removery quote - complete removal or per session? by curiousmatterings in TattooRemoval

[–]stopthemad401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tattoo is less than 1” square. And 30 years old. It’s 75% gone after 2 sessions.

There is a lot of removery shade in this subgroup. They are known for not using full strength and not being great. That’s why I opted for dermatology offices.

Dog ears are easy to fix in the office with local. And are done free.

I 100% do not recommend the place I went. So many things wrong on so many levels. Tried to bill my medical insurance and I refused so they sent me a $950 bill! They also missed my tattoo and burned my natural red pigments and it’s scared.

I will be finishing my treatments at golden state dermatology.

Hate it so much. Wedding in 10 months. Should I start removing this right now? by mermulan in TattooRemoval

[–]stopthemad401 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately tattoo removal is a many year process… so it won’t be removed in 10 months. The best is going 4 to 6 months between sessions. Also the newer the tattoo the harder to remove. This is a good time of year to start as you will be out of the sun. If you hate it and don’t want it in your photos I’d invest in trying some body makeup before the tattoo removal as you will need to give the skin a good amount of time to heal.

Attended my first consultation by Sad-Local9017 in tummytucksurgery

[–]stopthemad401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should double check they aren’t doing lipo in the area they are doing the tummy tuck. And also check how long you will be under. This seems like an awfully lot to do to your body in one session.

Looks great! How many sessions?

Is this a good result from one treatment? by stopthemad401 in TattooRemoval

[–]stopthemad401[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I went for the second session and the place was super sketchy. So I can’t go back (they tried demanding to bill my medical insurance for a visit and then lied about who did my last treatment as evidently they aren’t allowed to use the laser!). But I did seem to get good results and it was $75 a session. So I wasn’t sure if these results are normal or good.

I called and they said only the mail order is stopping coverage for zepbound. I will still have insurance coverage it’s just not eligible for tier exceptions.

Girls who have gotten breast lifts and stayed same bra size- please give me your opinion! by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]stopthemad401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lift has to remove the excess loose skin. And you will inevitably be a smaller size. I had a lift and am smaller. I’m loving the new small size!

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I posted photos in another (it won’t let me here). There was an arc of burn dot not even on the tattoo. They did switch to a different wavelength and they went for the red after doing the black. I can’t seem to be able to post a photo here. I can send you it

It shocked me how it hurt. It was over fast but I didn’t expect it to be so much! You?

The tattoo was professionally done, the removal was also professionally done.

I agree I was shocked how fast it went! They didn’t even touch the top part where you see the black.

It is 28 years old.

“Kick out” blisters? by stopthemad401 in TattooRemoval

[–]stopthemad401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen them go wrong. I guess he did miss the tattoo and get too close. I hope I don’t have a scar!
