2 days post bodylift

[JoannLz 62]

Well i made it.. they removed 9.5 lbs of skin... i thought maybe 5lbs.. now im just in bed. Doc said alot of bedrest. The pain isnt to bad. Its the muscles that are painfull. Nausea meds make me feel worse so i quit taking them i feel much better. Pain kills knock me out so im sleeping most of the day. I have no hunger but doc said i have to eat to heal faster. So here i am taking it slow... really slow.. also doc said to lay as flat as possible. And no to relay to much on the recliner so my stiches wont open.. anything else that might make this go smooth??

So where all did they remove skin? Did you go to a doctor in the states? What did that cost? I assume insurance didn't cover any of it.

[JoannLz 62]

I live in oklahoma city but i had my proceedure done in tulsa ok. Total cost was $9,450.

So, I'm assuming insurance doesn't pay for it. Take it easy like the doctor says. You don't want to go through that and pop a stitch.

[JoannLz 62]

No ive had to pay everything out of pocket.

Husband says I don't need it. It's not bad, but I notice it. Especially when I lay on my side. I guess I'll just quit laying on my side.

what exactly did you get done? tummy, boobs, arms, legs? title says Body-lift? I've wondered how much skin removal and lifting/contouring they can do at one time.

Congrats on your weight loss AND new body image

Well i wanted the 360 bodylift with boobs. But the doc said he doesnt do them together. He doesnt like to have people under for so long. I only did my 360 body lift. That took around 4 hours. They took 9.8 lbs of skin. And ill do the boobs in my next surgery.

I want a body lift. Hubby says I don't need it. But, I think it would boost my self esteem.
