Check out the different sampler packs. I know Chike! protein offers a sampler pack on their website, and Syntrax offers a huge sampler (13 flavors for $13 last I checked). Celebrate Vitamins offers...

My surgeon and my insurance company suggested 4-6 weeks for a semi-sedentary profession. I'm a corporate trainer.

I've been out of work for a year and a half or so due to complications.

....I...

You should not get a tattoo for 12 months prior to elective surgery. There is too much of a risk to your immune system, thus a possibly postponement to your surgery. Infection, complications, and...

My hospital said no due to the risk of burns/skin damage/electrical risk. Ask before you go in to see if it's allowed.

Understandable, but just an option to donate more clothes than you take. I know that there's a local program around here that offers that option =) I meant no offense.

Welcome to the craziness.... grab a helmet, it's a bumpy ride =)

OrchardCorset.com has just about every type of shaper and compression gear and usually have some killer sales. I just bought 5 different types on clearance for $60 including shipping. If you get...

Moisturize, stay hydrated, and focus train. Beyond that, "reconstructive surgery" is covered under most insurance plans, where "plastic surgery" isn't. Make sure you have doctors documenting if...

I agree with itsmytime. I've been buying "lots" on sale on Ebay for a while now. I figure if I get 10 pairs of jeans for $50, even if I only like half of them, it's still cheaper than retail. ...

As an added note, not only should you research whichever option you do chose to go with, make sure you research ALL of the surgical options just in case of a complication or "last-minute" medical...

The first thing you should remember is that the scale does not define you. Perhaps you're losing inches instead.

The second thing you should remember is that you're still in the healing phase and...

Considering that you just went through major surgery, I'd say that was normal. If it continues to concern you, call your surgeon. It takes a while to bounce back, and at this point you are more...

Quest is releasing a limited run of their new flavor at $19.99 for a box of 12, limit one box per order. I know a lot of...

Hi. My name is Kiera. I am the 0.001%. I've been out of work for a year and a half, looking forward to my 6th surgery soon.... My case is unprecedented. I am in medical journals. I am the topic...

For any ink that distorts too badly, purple roses can cover anything... Silly enough, if you have a good tattoo artist, they can usually predict how much your ink will shift over time and weight...

Most insurance won't cover "plastic/cosmentic" surgery. My surgeon and primary doctors are considering my upcoming "flying squirrel suit removal" (wings, abdominal and leg flaps) as "reconstructive"...

I have 30something tattoos. I am a human Shrinky-Dink. They have all moved and shifted quite a bit, but thankfully none of them look too horribly distorted. My husband and I have matching tattoos...

If you're not keeping anything down (including water), please make sure you see a doctor before you get too sick. You may have a stricture. I waited too long with the same symptoms and my sleeve...

Psych evaluation is a very integral part of the whole pre-surg prep. Plus, it helps to have a contact in case the post-op blues get a little too much to handle. If you doc works with a psych who...

Ketosis is a wonderful thing... You may have to get used to it for quite a whle. Once you start working carbs back in, that usually clears up the situation. Make sure you stay well hydrated, that...

Best of luck to you both. Wishing you a speedy and complication-free healing! Welcome to the craziness =)

I was told that due to nutrition levels, weight loss, etc., it can cause your cycle to be all over the calendar. Even a year and a half out, sometimes I skip a month, sometimes I cycle twice in 4...

Yep, I'm the tough pierced/tattooed girl. I'm the mom that can handle everything. You're only as alone as you choose to be. I'm an island, myself, most of the time.... but man, it's hard...

I'm still having complications from my surgery in may 2011. You have to be incredibly strong mentally to get yourself strong physically. Don't rush the process. Take it slow and easy, take time to...

Believe me, I understand being "all doctored out," but your emotional health is just as important as your physical health. There's some severe and drastic changes you've made and sometimes the brain...
