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 .

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
