Multiple surgeries



Recommended Posts

Anyone had more than 1 procedure done at a time? Wanting at least a breast lift and Tummy Tuck at the same time, and maybe arms if my PS will consider it. Don't want to go under aneasthetic more than I have to. What is the recovery like? Is it possible?

hi skinnysue

i just did both on may 11. my doctor initially wanted me to separate them and do in 2 operations. i knew once i did the first one, i wouldnt go back for a second.

i am so glad i did it this way. i actually had a pretty easy recovery. i have a thread on the cosmetic surgery forum called "josiebies TT and Breast lift" you can read through and see my journey.

i am thrilled with the results. i have to get pics up here....

anyway good luck in making your decision on how to handle

The PS I went to said he would do TT and Breast Lift together but the arms at another time. He said it would be too much time under anesthesia to do all 3 at once.

Hi!

I had a breast lift and Tummy Tuck done at once, and I'm so glad. The breasts were basically nothing... I barely noticed them compared the stomach. However, I will be having a second surgery for my back lift and Lipo of my thights --- that would have been too much at once.

Hi

I have got a full Tummy Tuck and thighlift booked for Nov 10th.

Surgeon said i will be under 4 hours, thought it would be longer as he is also doing Lipo.< /p>

Need to get off the last 20lbs, had my band loosened when I got to goal. big mistake......put on 25lbs very quickly. I learnt a lesson there.

Having a fill tomorrow .

      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.
