Inner Thigh Lift Pre-Op Pic.



Recommended Posts

Its strange but only 2 days to go till i get some non saggy legs and already the emotions are all over the place. I wasnt worried at all about my previous very lengthy surgery for my abdominoplasty and my brachioplasty but this bilateral thigh lift really has me in a more tense and anxious state. I know deep down i will be ok but i am not sleeping and my nerves are all on edge, i just want it over and done with now, i hate waiting around.

My surgery isnt till thursday afternoon so i have a lot of waiting around to do thursday morning.. My cold and chest infection seem to have cleared up so i dont think that will be an issue now so all should go ahead as planned thursday. I am trying to keep busy till then just to stop me clock watching ..This is the time where i would love a ciggie to calm my nerves or a large bar of chocolate to take my mind off of things ! thanks for all your nice comments and good wishes, they are very much appreciated :)

Back home today and feeling very well but tired. I am wearing compression stockings and on top of therm compression leggings and although a little sore, pain is very bearable, just on normal pain killers now if needed. Worst pain was the drains and getting them removed, but instant relief once they were out. Legs have swollen a little bit but i lost over 6lbs of excess skin so had a lot cut off. Shape looks really good even with the swelling so am very pleased with how things worked out.

My last job will be my saggy breasts and now my legs are done i notice my breasts even more and they will drive me mad if i dont get them done so next year when my surgeon is back from maternity leave the breasts will be done and i will be finished then, financially and physically lol

I am 58 yrs old and this still feels right to do even at my age !

are these compression garments before or after your surgery? Are they like Spanx? I have the horrible loose skin on my thighs also 1 leg is a little larger than the other. Have had several hip and leg surgeries on one side> I want to wear a bathing suit.....shorts. Does insurance cover this if its a walking problem?

hope yours went well.

The compression garments are from marena a US company even tho i am in the UK, they are the best compression u can get. I wear the leggings which are the same compression as the surgical garments, their website is

http://marenagroup.com/garmentstore/product/tabid/199/p-110-shapzme-womens-leggings.aspx

these garments are perfect for flabby skin on legs !

I had some recent problems with my leg scars, 3 weeks post op i developed severe allergies to the dressings and i had 4 retained stitches which turned into stitch abscesses. A week later i am now much better, anti biotics and changing dressings daily my legs are nearly healed now.

They look a little strange tho as i have the tanned front of my legs now meeting the white skin from the back of my legs lol, thank god its winter now !

will post some more pics when i get rid of the dressings ... i wear the compression leggings all the time and they are wonderful.

Worst part is getting the darn leggings on, u need strength and muscles to do it lol.

Wow Cazzy, you look great! I know you feel great! Keep with the compression, it helps the skin adhere in the right places! Fantastic!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
