Can You Combine an Arm and Thigh Lift Together?

shorterstory06
I lost 100 lbs after having gastric bypass and as a result I have redundant skin issues. I have had two body contouring procedures so far. In May I had a lower body lift and then last week I had an upper body lift. I am interested in having a thigh lift and arm lift in July. I have been told by one surgeon that he does not like to combine these due to mobility issues during recovery. I really want to limit my surgeries to three, can anyone offer advice on this matter?
