I need a breast lift, something done with my arms and a lower body lift and inner thigh lift. What is usually the order of surgeries, what can be combined?

I have used them and I can't say they work.

I'm booked to have fillers put in (cheeks and marionette lines) and some botox around my eyes in August (2,000 Canadian). I am booked in to have thermage for my neck and face (1500.00 Canadian) 3 weeks later. I think I will also pay the extra 500 to have thermage for my eyelids as well. I hope I will be happy. Its alot of money, but I'm not ready for a face lift yet. I'll be 50 in the fall, but I'd like to put it off for awhile. I need a tummy tuck, LBL, inner thigh lift and breast lift. I'm not even going to talk about my arms. The less I can do without more surgery the better. If I'm happy with thermage, I may consider it for my arms and calves- who knows. But losing wt does have its down side (yards and yards of excess skin!)

I am so happy that I did this. I was having alot of arthritic and fibromyalgia pain. I am off my meds and just need an occasional pain med. I am shopping and enjoying it- finally. I no longer need plus size clothes. Size 10, size small/med. I can hardly believe it!

I can't believe its been over 6 months. Wt. loss has really slowed for me - for quite awhile now. I know I could be tighter but I'm not sure if I want to be or not. I haven't gained. I may go next week, I'll decide tomorrow.

When I started this thread it was shortly after surgery. But now I am eating over 1,000 calories. I am not at my desireable restriction. I eat what I want now but only in smaller quantities. I don't feel deprived in any way. My weight loss is still happening, but very very slowly now. I need to excercise in order to really get the scale moving. Now that it is spring, I can walk now.

Is there a reason you just got your first fill now? Without proper restriction you are just losing wt on will power alone. You are doing great on will power!

I have hit a plateau as well. Getting another fill on Monday. I'm happy with my progress anyway.

weight loss is so slow right now, I still need to get better constriction, but I expected weight loss to slow as I get further on.

I have .7 pounds still to go before I am no longer obese. I only have 2cc now in my band, still could use a bit more constriction. I am happy though.

I have .7 pounds to lose and then I am no longer obese, can't wait!

I have loose skin everywhere. Arms, a bit on my stomach but especially my legs. I hope some will resolve but I know I'll need an inner thigh lift and LBL. Oh well, it is still all good. I will take being a size 10 with loose skin over 1x any day.

That was one of my biggest goals for getting banded. I love to shop for clothes now! I buy 2 or 3 outfits at a time at each change in size. I have been boxing up my too big clothes to actually give away. Yes I don't have to save them for when I gain wt. again. Can you imagine, never, never, never again will we need to shop in those stores!!! I'm in a petite size 10 now. Congratulations!!!

Well I have a leak in my port. I'm upset. I have been working so hard on this scar and I hate hate hate the thought of it being opened up again. I don't know if I can continue to lose wt. Not losing much now. I feel blue.
