I'm having my surgery in April. I'm getting ready for lipo,TT &BBL I need to lose about 10 pounds before my surgery. I'm doing everything I can. I'm eating healthy and exercising but I'm also taking Phentermine pills and a shot of lipotropic. Are those pills and shots are going to affect me in any way ?
I have PMDD & I binge on junk food once a month right before my period. I always gain a few pounds and then I spend the next few weeks trying to lose it and exercise. It's an endless cycle for me. I am not over weight, (5'4/130lbs) so my doctor prescribed adipex for me to take 5 days before my period. I had lipo of the flanks done 2 weeks ago & my period is due in 2 wks. Can I take adipex next week? I am 100% healthy & healing nicely.
I went from 129# to 170 after taking prednisone for a head injury. I began seeing a weight management physician, started Phentermine and a 900-1200 cal meal plan. I work with a plastic surgeon who did abdominal, thigh, back roll Lipo in April removing 3500 cc. My stomach was FLAT, I was super happy. I now have more fat than pre-op in my abdomen and thighs. Tons of labs done, all WNL. I'm frustrated and getting depressed. He's offered to do Lipo again, I fear it'll be the same result. Any advice?
I have body dysmorphic disorder and I was wondering if having BDD would help me get insurance to cover liposuction or bariatric surgery. My thoughts about my weight significantly affects my ability to function daily, but unlike others with BDD, those thoughts go away when I'm smaller, which was only achievable on phentermine. So- would insurance cover Lipo or bariatric surgery if I can prove it would greatly benefit my mental and emotional health?
