I am getting frustrated too!I had my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago and couldn't even swallow my own salvia and had to get a un-fill plus some because everything was so irratated so i have to wait a little bit for another fill and now i'm so hungrey!!! The dr said i'm sensitive to fills and he will have to do .5 cc instead of 2cc.

I have tricare prime and just had my surgery on the 13th. I will say it was a nightmare for me to get approved but don't give up.I appealed it twice al the way to the sec of defense and got approved.Don't let them give you the run around. Tricare says yOu have to be one hundred pds over weight according to the met life tables and one co-morbidity or 200% over your ideal weight !! its not as much as you think!! I was 5'4 and 235 so i met both requirements. if you need more info please feel free to contact me Good luck

As a hairstylist i would tell you that surgery will afeect you big time 6-9 months after. thyrid levels,protein,biotin and there are products called nioxion that really help. Good luck
