HI I am in the UK I am having a full tummy tuck and a thighlift with the incision going down to the knee, with lipo in various places (inc mons and inner knees) The price is for 2 night in hospital all inclusive £9500. not sure what that is in dollars I'm booked for 10th Nov 09 Sue

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. 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 . Cinzano

Hi. Here in the UK we have to be de-filled before any surgery, you have to be fit and healthy before surgery and during recovery. You can always get it tightnened after. Sue

Hi Mimi FTT full tummy tuck TL thigh lift Although my TL will be with a vertical incision going down to the knee with Liposuction suzanne

Hi Dr Schulman I have now seen my PS and he has said I do not need a LBL. He advised a FTT and TL he advised 3-4 weeks off work, I'm not sure how I am going to manage the time off as I said before I only have 2 and half weeks left, is the TL the worst surgery to recover from? I think he is over estimating the recovery period, please advise thanks suzanne

Dr Schulman, I have been at a stable weight now for 4 months after losing 135lbs, banded Jan 08. I have read nearly all of this thread, yet still have a few questions of my own. I think what I am aiming for is to have a lower body lift then inner thigh lift and maybe a breast lift (combined at a later date). Would I be able to go back to my office sit down job within 2-3 weeks after the LBL. I am fit and healthy, 49yr old and work out 2-3 times a week. (non smoker) I understand every case is different and sometimes complications cannot be un-ruled. The reason I ask is that I cannot get time off work for this I have to use my holidays or if they agree it will be unpaid. I am seeing a PS in 10days to discuss this, but I am trying to do as much research as possible. thank you for sharing your knowledge. Suzanne
