How long was the surgery for your 2 procedures. I’ve been told 5 hours maybe a little less! Seems like a long time.

Estimate was 6 hours but I believe it took 5.

Okay so I’ve got a question:

Does anybody know what surgeons say about breast cancer survivors and brachioplasty?

I’ve never had lymphedema and would hate for that to happen.

My surgeon does not do abs and thighs and butt at the same time because it is a lot of stress on the body. Fun fact: the doctors on Botched don't do butt and abs at the same time either because you can either lay on your back or stomach... not both. lmao. That was Dr. Dubrow's explanation.

Unrelated - the surgical center just charged me FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for use of their facilities when my estimate was 3700$ and prepaid. LOL. I am going to go postal on someone. It took me a YEAR to fix the error they made with my gallbladder bill. Looks like I have another saga....
I totally watched that episode a few days ago!!! Lol!! With the British girl that was hilarious and won't laugh at Dubrow's jokes!! Lol

Isn't it amazing just how much the skin stretches? Congrats again and you look FAB. I need to get my belly done but figured I would stabilize somewhere and then look into it. Too bad insurance doesn't cover it.

Oh my. Wasn't prepared for that.

What are the two little dark nuggets between the stomach pieces and the arm pieces?

My insurance would have covered it if I waited another 6 months but I am impatient and the doctor I wanted didn't take insurance for tummy tucks so whateva.

      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!!
