Thank you! I’m really nervous to do both together but I’m only allowed 1 medical leave in a 12 month period, so my surgeon and I agreed both together is best (plus out of pocket cost will be less if done together). I am doing a lot of research to find out what I can do before hand to make everything after smooth for recovery. Thank you for the tips, if you think of anymore I’d appreciate hearing them

I have been stable for 6+ months, I have rashes and irritation from the extra skin. I tried and documented 3 different types of therapy, but honestly I think my plastic surgeon helped. He told me 99% of the time insurance will not cover arms..but he was gonna submit photos and a letter anyway..and I got the approval in the mail yesterday.

I just got approval from insurance for my tummy tuck and my arm lift. My plastic surgeon recommends doing both at the same time. Has anyone else done both? Pros? Cons? My only concern is my husband works full time 12 hour days and no family lives “nearby”...meaning within an hour from us...does it seem feasible that I’ll be okay alone all day? Thanks everyone for your input!

I’m glad you have figured out a way to successfully travel and stick to a plan you have at home. This is my first experience traveling post op and i found out the hard way I can’t meal prep the way I do at home here. (Hotel doesn’t provide proper accommodations like a home has)

Hey y’all, I am post op RNY 2 years, and down almost 130lbs. I just accepted a new job which takes me away from home for 3 weeks at a time each month. I just returned from my first trip and while away i regained some weight!!!!! Ahhhhh! Now that I’m seeing that, I’m noticing the ability to eat a little bit more than I was before at a time...has anyone experience this? What do you recommend when living in a hotel room for 3 weeks at a time? I didn’t want to buy a lot of stuff while I was down there this past trip because i would then have to throw it away if not used before I come home (travel is between PA and TX). Thanks
