i didn't have the same procedures, but did have multiple procedures done at once. My main advice is Protein, rest, and ease back into activity carefully to avoid any seronomas or incision tension. Follow docs orders and don't push too hard just because you feel good one particular day. I found that very hard, to spend so long hunched over (I had the lower body lift) and needing to take small steps (small thigh lift) and to not reach overhead (arm lift..haha). I am glad I was so careful though, I think it paid off.

full full recovery from major plastics takes a long time. What I mean by that is you are told that 6-8 weeks and you can return to normal. I think that depends on what your "normal" was but it took longer than that for me to do very high intensity things again like my farmwork or boot camp style workouts and the gym. Just a reality check since we all heal differently.

I would also mention that some people get kinda blue after plastics. For me, it was the inactivity that started making me batty. for some others it is unrealistic expectations - like you have MASSIVE improvement and then you can notice what is still not perfect.

I lost alot of weight and so I still have some extra skin on the side of my chest (ie sideboobs) and since I knew that would not be fixed by the procedures I chose to have done - I am very satisfied. It is one of those things that others don't even seem to notice, but i do. I am not going to have that fixed as I am better than "good enough" but I think that it is important to expect amazing improvement, but not perfection.

Best of luck to you on this exciting journey!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
