{{/* BP structured-data corrections, 2026-08-04. buildMetaTags() runs in Dispatcher\Front before the head renders, and includeJS serialises Output::i()->jsonLd at the end of body, so mutating the array here is what actually ships. This replaces what were core edits in system/Output/Output.php and therefore survives Invision upgrades. */}} {{/* 1.

The surgeons geo pages render breadcrumbs narrowest-first by design, so core's came out reversed. */}} {{/* Canonical and Open Graph fallbacks. An empty jsonLd on a rendered front page means buildMetaTags() never ran, which is how Output::error() renders. Treating that as "do not add a canonical" fails safe: the worst case is a page without a canonical, which is where we started. */}} Skip to content

  1. Mu PCOS is gone too after losing weight. I, too, started regular periods about 3 months prior to surgery. My doctor has officially un-diagnosed me LOL
  2. Thank you! The sinus drainage is the only issue that I have had with this whole process. If I could get rid of that, I would be great!
  3. Thank you ladies so much! I had not had a fill since mid October 2010 before this last one. I had lost 25 lbs since that last fill too, so I am not sure how much I got this time. I totally forgot to ask. Due to the ice and snow, my doctor's office will be closed today and tomorrow, so I will call them Friday. They are usually closed, but maybe they will be open for emergencies. I was able to drink 2 bottles of Water last night and I kept it all down....WHEW HOO!!! I think the main issue is that I am having a sinus drainage issue. My doctor told me last time that when your sinuses drain, they drain into your stomach, which tells your stomach you are eating. So something as small as a sip of water or even swallowing can trigger you to throw up. If I can get this sinus medicine to work, I will be ok. I only have issues when my sinuses act up. UGH! Again, thank you all for the advice and compliments. This has been an incredible journey and I am soooooooo happy! :-)
  4. I just got a fill on Monday, Feb 1. I tend to swell after a fill, so I stay on liquids for 72 hrs. Sometimes I can drink and eat a bit and sometimes I cannot keep water down. How long does it take for some of the fill to "go down" so I can at least drink without throwing up? I do not want to go get any of the fill taken out...so I am trying to ride this out. I am not dehydrated since sometimes I can drink and hold it down, but I do feel my energy level decreasing. This did happen before and I HAD to get some of my fill taken out, but it was way worse last time. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else and how long it took for relief.
