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.

      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.
