Got my surgery date- January 17th. Full body lift. Then after 6 months, Boobs and 6 months later, thighs

Would have been the 14th but my surgeon wants me to have a low profile port. So- he says I'll be out of work for 6 to 8 weeks! But i read that alot of people were up and about after 2 weeks.

I want to fly out to see my daughter after 21/2 weeks. So whats everybodys do's and dont's?

I wasn't trying to offend anyone. If it wasn't for insurance, I'd be on the first flight. I went through hell and high Water to get the insurance to pay for my surgery. I just noticed not just on this site, the scars seemed to me to be more severe. I know everyones pain tolerance and healing is different.

I really like reading everyones surgery and recovery stories.And seeing pictures. I'll be posting a few of my own soon!

May I ask how you got insurance to pay for it when I was overweight there were all for it now that the cyst and rashes have gone they won't

It took a while! Rashes backaches had to be documented. I started in the summer showing my doctor rashes under my boobs belly and between my legs. Which prevents me from exercising. Then they would only do it if I had more than the minimum amount of skin to remove and at least 2 bra sizes.

OK The countdown is on! Surgery Friday! Circumferal BodyLift and Pubis Liposuction Friday. Love reading all the do's and don'ts. Loading up on Protein and hitting the treadmill hard! Still extreamly nervous. Dr said 7 - 8 hr surgery. I hate being put under, and I've never been put under that long! Guess I'll load up on xanax the day before. He gave me morpine pills for after! Never knew it came in pill form. Got me a new reclining chair to live in, sweats and a lanyard.

I loved the posts about what to and not to take to the hospital.

Am I missing anything?
