I have been contemplating the surgery for than a year. I originally investigated a tummy tuck and thigh lift but now will add a lower body lift. I am five days before the surgery and starting to get both parts nervous and excited. I am in he health care field and am trying to get everything in place at one to make the first couple of weeks manageable.

Are you all set? Excited and nervous I imagine. Praying for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery and healing. Take good care of yourself.

I just had my LBL and BA done a few hours ago. I can't sleep (insomniac). I wanted to rip the tubes out and run bc I had such anxiety before surgery. I have a nurse staying with me. I don't know how I'd manage with out her. Can't tell you if surgery is worth it yet. Best of luck to you! Sending well wishes!

I am to be at the hospital at 5:00 am. We live 45 mins from the hospital. Not going to get a lot of sleep tonight. More nervous now than anything. Bag is packed and home is as ready as I can make it.

Was at hospital for 2 nights. A lot of pain especially when transferring in and out of bed. Was reluctant to take the tong pain medicines and regretted it. I could have been so much more comfortable.
Using walker elevated commode chair which really helps.
Originally had 6 drains but two were pulled at hospital.
