Can I use an Erste Visa Electron card—which is actually linked to my foreign currency account—to pay for things online? It does have that CVV number

So, I guess this is my absolute weakest area—thanks, genetics, I suppose. This photo was taken about two years ago. Right now, I’m hitting the gym five times a week focusing on legs, glutes, and core, and I’m drinking a ton of water, but honestly, nothing seems to be changing. I’d be really grateful if anyone could suggest some diet tweaks or different exercises—anything, really—because I feel pretty self-conscious wearing shorts or skirts. For context, I weigh about 101 lbs and I'm 5'1".
My calves look wider now even though the measurement hasn't changed; they just look broader, and I'm at a bit of a loss because nothing seems to work.

I was wondering—and I know this might be a bit of a long shot—but is it actually possible to pay someone via Zelle without having to include their physical address? It’s for a private individual, so I don't really need to list where they live... I just have their full name and their account number handy.

I didn't actually have my procedure done at the Dzepina Clinic—I went to Mercury instead. As for the results, things have finally settled back to normal, specifically with the tip of my nose regaining its rounded shape. I’ve been looking back at my pre-op photos compared to how everything looks just a month after the surgery, and honestly, the difference is pretty drastic.

I haven't posted much in this thread for quite some time—I suppose I’ve been mostly keeping to myself—but I actually had surgery about a year ago. My main goal was to get rid of some excess cartilage because the tip of my nose was just too rounded... sort of looked like a little ball, if you know what I mean. After the procedure, it did shrink down initially, but then it partially reverted back to how it used to be. I guess I'm just wondering what my options are now, and if anyone else here has dealt with something similar?

It’s not even obvious to anyone else that I’ve actually put in any work—even though my waistline is definitely narrower than it used to be—but I suppose that’s just something known only to those who truly know me.

I went through my own procedure just about two months ago—everything went perfectly fine, by the way. But then today, I was reading that Dr. Ostojic operated on some girl's nose last year, even though she's only fifteen now. Personally, I find the whole thing rather questionable—even if her mother did give the consent. It seems silly to me, but I suppose that’s just how things go these days.

Honestly, both. Everything went incredibly smoothly, all things considered. I was actually pretty nervous about the general anesthesia—it’s always a bit daunting, isn't it?—but in the end, it turned out much better than I had anticipated. I didn't experience any pain afterward, and surprisingly, I didn't even end up with any bruising.

I actually made it out to Mercury, and honestly—everything went pretty smoothly🙂

It’s been nearly two weeks since my procedure—well, since the OP posted—and I suppose I’m fairly satisfied with how everything is panning out so far. My nose tip is still a bit tender, though... maybe just a little sensitive, if you can call it that, but overall it seems okay.

They finally took my stitches out today—and apparently, they’re pulling off the bandages this Friday. 🙂

So, I’m finally back home after my surgery. I had the procedure yesterday morning at Mayo Clinic—which was actually quite seamless—and honestly, it went better than I had anticipated. I didn't feel any pain during the process, nor am I feeling much of anything now. The doctors and nursing staff were absolutely top-notch; really excellent service all around. I was under general anesthesia, and I didn't experience any of that post-op nausea or dizziness that people always talk about. I just drifted off and then woke up in my recovery room.🙏👍

I have to head back in this coming Monday morning to have the tampons removed.🙂

You might want to check around some of the major hospitals—you never know, there could be some incredibly talented doctors working there.

Look, I really don't think you should stick with him if you aren't feeling his bedside manner—honestly, there are plenty of other doctors out there who might be a much better fit for you. Personally, I wouldn't just hand myself over to a surgeon if I didn't feel a sense of trust there—it's just how I am, I guess. My advice? Maybe try seeing someone else first to get a second opinion before you decide. And, if it turns out you need a septum repair, I'm pretty sure Medicare would cover that.

Maybe you should probably head over to an ENT specialist first—just to see if that’s actually what’s causing all this?

I suppose the question is whether a deviated septum is covered by Medicare

So, I went in for a checkup at the Mayo Clinic yesterday—just a routine thing, really—and it turns out I have a slight deviation. Apparently, that’s been the whole reason behind all those sinus issues I've been dealing with lately... I guess that explains everything.

I’m heading in next Friday—though I have quite a mountain of prep work and research to tackle before then—and since they're planning on using general anesthesia, I suppose I’m feeling a little bit apprehensive about it all

Amanda Miller69 said:He performed my surgery, and honestly, the nose job didn't do much for me at all; I'm still dealing with constant drainage and it feels half-blocked. I can't quite tell if it was his technique or just my own broken nose... who knows, I guess.😁
The only real upside is that it looks a bit better—which was something I asked for on the side (or maybe just straightening out that bump on the bridge).

Does he focus strictly on the functional stuff and just tack this on as an afterthought, or what?
