I'm looking at a similar dilemma, my surgeon told me that taking a 2.5 hour flight about 4 weeks after surgery would be ok so long as I moved around as much as possible on the plane. Of course, he did add the caveat that his "ok" assumes I have no setbacks during recovery.

Congratulations! I wish for you a speedy and uncomplicated recovery!

I hope things have improved for you. Are you continuing to have problems? Where on your body is the open incision?

You have made amazing progress, congrats!! Although, I only lost 180 lbs, I have a friend who lost several hundred pounds. She had an abdominoplasty during mid-weightloss. She talked to several board certified plastic surgeons who were willing to do the surgery on her with the understanding that she would very likely need a revision once she reached her goal weight. She was able to get insurance to cover the mid-weightloss surgery and it gave her such a boost in self confidence. About 3 years after she reached her goal weight, she did indeed have a revision and so much more. Her outside now matches her inside and she couldn't be happier. Good luck!

I'm paying cash for my surgeries. $25k for Circumferential Body Lift with vertical and Medial Thigh Lift in May and $17k for Breast Augmentation and Arm lift in July.
