Julie, I am having the thigh lift with the incision like you had. Now that some time has passed are you happy with the results? It sounds like the incisions were a real pain, but how are they now? Do you still think the thighs were the most painful? How long before you were comfortable wearing pants? My surgery is just 9 days away now.

I am not sure if I like my thigh lift or not. I can't really tell the difference. They can't take too much fat out because the skin is really thin. I hope you like your results more. Let me know how you do. It took me good 4 weeks to be able to wear pants. I had to basically stay in loose fitting pants like sweats for the first month. Now I can wear anything. When you go to the bathroom you bleed a lot due to the incision. That takes a couple weeks to heal before you will not be bleed. Let me know how you do. Mine was almost $9k. Hope you got a better deal.

Thanks Julie. I am going to talk to my doctor again about this. I don't really have any fat left on my thighs (my legs have always been the thinnest part of me) but I do want the skin to be nice and tight and I have quite a bit of saggy skin! For the expense and the difficult recovery I definately want to be happy with the results. I'd rather have the long scar and good results than the small groin incisions and not be happy. Thanks for your reply. Ill let you know how it all comes out. Becky

Hi Julie,

Do you have any B&A pictures that your able to post?

After reading your post I am wondering if you how well you liked your surgeon (1-10) and would you recomend him?

Thanks.

Hi There XX Begone, I don't have my after pictures yet. Do to the fact that he wasn't aggressive enough with the upper ab lippo I wouldn't recommend him. I need to go back in for a revision in 6 months already. He does great after care though.

      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.
