2 days post bodylift



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
