I need a breast lift, something done with my arms and a lower body lift and inner thigh lift. What is usually the order of surgeries, what can be combined?

I have used them and I can't say they work.

I'm booked to have fillers put in (cheeks and marionette lines) and some botox around my eyes in August (2,000 Canadian). I am booked in to have thermage for my neck and face (1500.00 Canadian) 3 weeks later. I think I will also pay the extra 500 to have thermage for my eyelids as well. I hope I will be happy. Its alot of money, but I'm not ready for a face lift yet. I'll be 50 in the fall, but I'd like to put it off for awhile. I need a tummy tuck, LBL, inner thigh lift and breast lift. I'm not even going to talk about my arms. The less I can do without more surgery the better. If I'm happy with thermage, I may consider it for my arms and calves- who knows. But losing wt does have its down side (yards and yards of excess skin!)

I am so happy that I did this. I was having alot of arthritic and fibromyalgia pain. I am off my meds and just need an occasional pain med. I am shopping and enjoying it- finally. I no longer need plus size clothes. Size 10, size small/med. I can hardly believe it!

I can't believe its been over 6 months. Wt. loss has really slowed for me - for quite awhile now. I know I could be tighter but I'm not sure if I want to be or not. I haven't gained. I may go next week, I'll decide tomorrow.

When I started this thread it was shortly after surgery. But now I am eating over 1,000 calories. I am not at my desireable restriction. I eat what I want now but only in smaller quantities. I don't feel deprived in any way. My weight loss is still happening, but very very slowly now. I need to excercise in order to really get the scale moving. Now that it is spring, I can walk now.

Is there a reason you just got your first fill now? Without proper restriction you are just losing wt on will power alone. You are doing great on will power!

I have hit a plateau as well. Getting another fill on Monday. I'm happy with my progress anyway.

weight loss is so slow right now, I still need to get better constriction, but I expected weight loss to slow as I get further on.

I have .7 pounds still to go before I am no longer obese. I only have 2cc now in my band, still could use a bit more constriction. I am happy though.

I have .7 pounds to lose and then I am no longer obese, can't wait!

I have loose skin everywhere. Arms, a bit on my stomach but especially my legs. I hope some will resolve but I know I'll need an inner thigh lift and LBL. Oh well, it is still all good. I will take being a size 10 with loose skin over 1x any day.

That was one of my biggest goals for getting banded. I love to shop for clothes now! I buy 2 or 3 outfits at a time at each change in size. I have been boxing up my too big clothes to actually give away. Yes I don't have to save them for when I gain wt. again. Can you imagine, never, never, never again will we need to shop in those stores!!! I'm in a petite size 10 now. Congratulations!!!

Well I have a leak in my port. I'm upset. I have been working so hard on this scar and I hate hate hate the thought of it being opened up again. I don't know if I can continue to lose wt. Not losing much now. I feel blue.

Well they think I have a leak in my port. I have a 10cc band and everytime I go for a fill there is only .7cc in the band. They will replace the port but I am not sure. I will have to have the incision reopened etc etc. I do have some restriction with just having the band there but weight loss has almost halted (.5lbs in one month). The way my band feels now would be great for maintenance. What to do, what to do...
