The Lifestyle Lift



Recommended Posts

Betsyjane.

I've researched the net for different kinds of face lifts. The Lifestyle lift had a lot of negetive reveiws. They say it is painful and you are with a swollen bruised face for sometime. Plus some say that it did nothing, quite a few said that it looked great at first but quikly went back to the way their face was before the lift.

Research and check out not what the lift docs say but what the people who've had them for a year say. Usually it is save your money and get a regular face lift.

Yeah I was checking them out too, and saw a lot of negative reviews. You have to have the perfect skin consistency for it or you are not a candidate. I think I would probably just find an outstanding surgeon and then talk to him about options. Betsy Jane....Both TerriDoodle and I are in the market for a good surgeon here in Houston, so let's keep tabs together on that!

I mentioned to TerriDoodle in her thread....Dr. Heller comes to talk to Spivak's group. He was there last Tuesday but I couldn't make it. I think he'll be there in October some time. Wanda at Spivak's office just had some fairly extensive work done I think last week. He's one I am going to check out. We have a guy here in Clear Lake named Dr. Todd Adam I have heard good things about. There's also that guy on the TV show Big Medicine who does the post-bariatric surgery PS clean-up that they show. Not sure where his office is in town.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
