And I was also wondering how long the recovery might be on average. Thank you to whoever can shed some light on these questions!

Define the word recovery. Able to resume normal activities OR your old self? I was cleared to go back to work and start exercise (beyond walking)again at 6 weeks. I was cleared for all activities at 8 weeks. In reality I didn't really feel like doing really active stuff like horse back riding, hard workouts etc until 10-12 weeks. I wore compression garments longer than required to keep swelling down. I was probably 3-4 months before I felt normal with minimal swelling.

Real self is a source for rough pricing info. I was always quoted multiple procedures. Also prices vary.

For me it was worth it. I am transformed.

<p>Hi, Mal0712</p> <p> </p> <p>A body lift is not a procedure, it is a combination of procedures that when put together are refer as LOWER BODY LIFT or UPPER BODY LIFT.</p> <p>Lower body lift: Leg lift, Tummy Tuck, liposuction, buttock lift, fat transfer to the buttock,</p> <p>Upper body lift: Breast lift, reduction, augmentation, reconstruction, arm lift, Lipo, </p> <p> </p> <p>If you tell me abit about your current condition I will be able to guide you better.</p> <p> </p> <p>Just a bit of advice, WHATEVER YOU DO, LEAVE YOUR BREAST PROCEDURE FOR LAST. trust me.</p> [/QUOTe

I haven't had the bypass yet. Basically my PCP told me she is 100% sure that I will have to have my arms, legs, tummy, butt, boobs, and possibly chin area done after surgery. Basically head to toe surgery. I was wanting to see an average amount spent on having all this kinda work done so I know how much I will looking at having to save up.

I had several different consults before having plastics and notice there are lots of theories. There are plenty of people who have breasts done at the same time as a lower body lift like I did. Worked out great and for me having fewer number of surgeries was a priority. To each his/her own.

I do think that the "body lift" - for most of us that is a lower body lift is the foundation procedure and really should be done at the beginning of the plastics journey as it does kind of create the canvas. I look at pix right after my surgery versus now and frankly i had immediate results, I was already fit and had good am muscles so once the skin was gone i had a flat tummy before the many weeks in compression garments. I am 8 months out from pretty extensive plastics and very pleased with results. I weigh 10 pounds less that I did at date of plastics.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
