Hello Everyone:
Are there any patients in here that were sleeved in CHICAGO, IL..... and if so, did you have AETNA insurance? Were you approved quickly, or was it a hassle?
I'm so nervous about being approved. I definitely qualify based on the existing criteria.... but you just never know with this new OBAMACARE stuff that has suddenly kicked in.... Hoping for a February surgery date.
Stop with the alcohol. I have been struggling with alcohol for a few years now. Just like you I started with a glass after work then it progressed to 1 bottle of wine a night. I highly suggest that you quite the drinking before it gets out of control like it did for me.
I found this post because I'm currently going through hair loss. I'm almost 3 months out and I would say mine started 3 weeks ago. It comes out from the root and is especially noticeable on wash day. I'm natural but I wear my hair straight. I've started taking 1 Hairfinity a day (didn't like taking 2) plus I'm really trying to get in all my protein. I will be monitoring to see if it subsides at all.
I'm really sad because I big chopped 3 years ago and have spent a lot of time and effort ensuring I have healthy hair. To have it come out now really blows. I hope you don't have to go through this as well. Good luck!
Well for starters I am about 5 months post op and I am losing some hair. I had to stop getting relaxers and I stopped getting my quick weaves done. I have gone natural and I had to get my hair cut. I didn't have to do a big chop but its def shorter than where it was 5 months ago. I have been told to take several different kinds of vit and im using shampoo that cancer patients use. hopefully this works
Hey I am in Texas and I just joined again. I am 1 month out from a revision.
Thank you for the words of encouragement sis.
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Hello Ms bygodsgrace, I read your post. I have not had the surgery yet but I remember when I was start something new in my life like a diet lol smile face. I would do the program but then I would go around my friends and family and it was always when they was eating. Then I would find my self eating an extra meal alone. So I started to see a pattern so I avoid spending so much time with them. You can do it you don't want to create this type of habit that is unhealthy for you and your success. Try some positive things like walk before you go home to distress. Or turn some music on and dance before you eat. Try praying while you are in the car and breath.
You don't want to pick up weight from drink a glass here and there. You can do. Don't sabotage your future success
Just pick your self up and keep trying. Its by God grace that we are saved!
I'm excited for us both. It will be great to have your husband there I'm sure. I think I will ask about single incision but I agree with you that Dr. Ortiz doesn't do that yet. Im on board starting a Feb 2015 forum.
