Well...surgery is scheduled for December 5th. Having surgery with Dr.Randolph Wojcik in Allentown PA. He is planning on doing a lower body lift and arm lift, at the same time. I am so scared. What if I don't like the results?!? What if I ruin my body? He confidently says he can do both at the same time. He also says he confidently that I will love the results. Really hoping he is right! Anyone have surgery with him before?

Hey I’m just getting this app now, hope this reaches you. I’ve had 2 surgeries done by Dr Wojcik, in fact he gave me breast implants just today. You’re in good hands. He’s always been reasonable with me, is a very capable doc and I’m going to keep going to him! His office staff are fantastic and friendly too, if you call after your procedure with any questions they get right back to you. Hope that eases your mind a little, good luck!

Interestingly, my former sister-in-law worked for him and he fixed my breast lift/reduction that I had done by someone in NY. He did this about 3 years ago. I loved his bedside banner and he really did fix what was done previously. Additionally, the cost was better than I expected. 3 years later, I am still quite happy with the results. I think I made the right decision goin to him and I am glad that I did.

Freaking out! Have a new worry everyday. My latest worry is that I have not lost enough weight for this surgery to be successful.
My highest weight was 252. After my sleeve gastrectomy, I hovered
around 165lb for 5 years (5'5"). The past 6 months I've hovered around
175 lb. Even though I am hoping to get a few lbs. off before surgery,
what if I am not low enough to have a successful surgery? What if I put
myself through this, and I don't look much different? Anyone else go
through this?

I, too, fluctuate with my weight. Especially, the several months before LBL ... Nerves - Stress - Hurricane - "stuff" to get done - "life" - death of my mother. My highest weight was 294 in 2010 - 5'5". Lost 140+- in 2011. Maintained for several years in the 160s. Last year maintained between 145-160. I do like my body better in the 40's. Went into LBL surgery 6 weeks ago at 150. Weighed myself the next day after surgery at 163. For the past 6 weeks I have been between 161-166. I am still swollen and holding a lot of fluid retention - I figured about 8-10 lbs worth. Although, I was eating "comfort food" these past 6 weeks - Bad Me! I've been working on stopping doing that now and getting back to my regular diet with increase in protein for healing. I did read that one should be no more that 10-15% above your goal weight that you can maintain for LBL. I am sure your doc wouldn't do your LBL unless you will have great results.

Thank you! This is great to know! And it sounds like oh did amazing...considering all the stress you were under. I did weigh myself this morning, and I dropped to 171. 3 weeks left. I am hoping I can get under 165 within the next 3 weeks. I feel like I will "deserve" this surgery, if I can get under 165. I maintained that for 5 years, and was somewhat comfortable with it. Good luck on our recovery! How are you feeling otherwise? I have 4 weeks to recover from LBL and arm lift. Hope that's enough!!

You will look fantastic! I just had an arm lift on October 30th, and I am just like you 5’5 159 and the result is perfect! My advise, ask your PS to trace a line on your arm to show you where the scar will be located. My PS has made the scar almost impossible to see, it’s located behind my arms but not to behind, I can send you pictures if you want to see. My only concern to have both surgery at the same time is you will need your arm to push your self to stand up because your lower body will be stiff for weeks, my Ps don’t want me to do any effort with my arms for 6 weeks to prevent bad scar. I hope my writing is clear, I am French. i am looking to get a Lower body lift, my concern is to get flat butt, the only PS I have seen on this website that keep the woman curved is Dr Fisher, he is too far away from my home so I am still searching for a Ps that will use the same technic. I wish you all the best!

Thanks for commenting! Yes...I would love to see your new arms! I am concerned about doing both at the same time, as well. But my PS is telling me that I will be able to use my arms to hoist myself yup. We'll see! Keep in touch!
