Recommended Posts

Im trying to find a doctor to do my LASIK surgery in NYC. I created a post about it but i didnt get any replies. So again i ask, Does anyone know of a reputable LASIK surgeon in the NYC area?

Good Luck Suebaby, let me know how it all goes. Thanks Tamika

I am jealous. I really want to have it done but it's 4,500.00 here. I see ads all the time to have it done way cheaper than that.

Denise,

I had it done a couple of years ago and I wouldn't hesitate to have it done out of town/state. I was only down for the day... and was out watching a movie at the theater that night. It is totally awesome!! :crying:

Don't you have to go back for a check after a couple of weeks though? I could have it done in Arizona probably way cheaper. I usually stay there at least 2 weeks when I go to see my dad.

I had lasik done two years ago and I love it. I highly recommend getting the plugs in the eye ducts put in. It keeps your natural tears in your eyes so your eyes never get dry while they are recovering. I got the ones that naturally dissolve after like 2-3 months. I paid a grand for both eyes to be done and the duct things. The next morning when I came back I was like 20/15 in one eye and 20/20 in the other. You can tell you are still healing for a good week afterwards. Oh and I never slept with those stupid glasses on. I tried, but it was so uncomfortable.

Well it has now been almost 3 weeks

WOW the surgery itself was kind of freaky, but the after effects are well worth it 20/20 in both eyes down from 20/40 and 20/35

amazing !!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
