Scamp, this is incredibly helpful. Thank you SO much. The surgeon's office is providing the compression garments but I'm thinking that I should purchase a 2nd set of garments so that I will have a clean one to put on while the other is being washed and air dried.

Sorry for the delayed response. This is a shade over $25k.

After 4 years, I hit and maintained my goal weight. And now I'm getting rid of the skin. I will be having fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, a panniculectomy and a medial thigh lift. Based on the descriptions of these procedures, I think I may have picked the most difficult ones to start. But I've paid the deposit and it's too late to turn back now. So, is there anyone who can tell me how to prepare? I won't have anyone to sit with me after the 5th day; I'll be on my own. So, how do I set up my living space for successful recuperation? I've got a pillow to brace my abdomen for coughing, sneezing, or standing. I'm renting a chair that reclines and lifts the user to a standing position. I've got hospital gowns for ease of potty use at home. Anything I've missed?
