Lower Body Lift and Part 2 of Breast Lift/implants After Weightloss

I lost 125lb almost 4 years ago. With that I lost my breasts and gained lots of ugly skin and fat pockets. A year ago I got my breasts lifted by Dr. Alan Lim but they said I could not do implants at the same time because the lift was so extensive. I hate how the upper poles of my breasts are empty and my nipples are so high. So I do want part 2 with the implants. I also hate all the extra skin and saggy tushie. It folds over on itself when sitting and it hurts! Besides the horrific tummy I have. I even set off the alarm at the airport body scan every time because of the extra folds in my crotch! They think I am hiding a gun in there and I get frisked! (I can't go through metal detector cuz of pacemaker) Having 5 kids and going from my high weight of 292 and now at 150 plus being 56yrs old has made me a very ugly old woman! I have high hopes that Dr. Peter Fisher can fix some of my ugliness! So based on all your reviews I signed up for the lower body lift and part 2 of the breast lift with implants! I live in CA. but some of my kids live in Austin TX. so when I visited there in May I saw Dr. Fisher and felt pretty good about the giant surgery. He didn't think I neede the implants bu you can see from pictures I do! They suggested I wait till fall to do it because they said it would be to hot to wear the compression garment in the summer. That was smart since it was 110 here last week. I have tons of questions for those of you who traveled to San Antonio for this! What is the deal with the recliner? I read someone paid 250$ to rent it for the month but I saw it at rent a center for like 55$ . Is it a certain kind? My DH and I will be staying in hotel recommend by Dr. Fishers office. Do you have any tips on what you wish you knew before you did it? I am super excited but freaked about logistics and all the money I am spending on me when hurricanes, fires and earth quakes are happening to everyone else! I feel so selfish. My son said spending all that in Texas would help their economy. So I am really helping the hurricane victims in a roundabout way. Well that is one way to look at it. So any of you who have had a lower body lowering ca you give me any advice on how you managed or didn't manage it? Please!!! Like what kind of compression garment did you get? And where did you get it? HELP!!!

Thought I would post a few boobie pics so when mine get fixed all the way I will appreciate the difference!

Surgery is in 6 more hours!! I have waited 4 years to get this extra person off of me and it is finally going to happen. I wanted to give a a few ( I mean tons) of details about today that kinda surprised me so maybe you won't be surprised if you are next up for this.
I thought that besides the 2 hour photo and mark up with Dr. Fisher I would just go and have a super fun relaxing time with hubby. Not! We had fun together but it was a constant go, go, go! We flew in late Saturday night and stayed with my son who lives 2 hours away from the Dr. Office. Sunday I was on a liquid diet per Dr. Fisher's instructions so the family dinner and birthday highlight was a huge three tiered jello with candles on top that my daughter the dietitian made. She also told me about Ensure Clear. It is a clear liquid protein drink that was perfect for the 2 liquid days so I didn't get too hungry. It was at Wal-Mart and walgreens in 2 flavors, fruit and blueberry pomegranate. It was a 4pack for 6.75$. Boost makes one too but I did not find it. I preferred the fruit one.
Up all night going potty from all the liquid and then drive to San Antonio at 6 am.Hubby wanted to stay in for Mark up. He hardly ever see' s me totally naked cuz I won't allow it. But I decided seeing how bad this skin really is will make him appreciate the healing me and why I wanted to have the surgery so bad , so I let him. Undecided if that was smart or stupid. Hope he can get that image out of his head! Dr. Fisher made me feel so good about the surgery by noting what an incredible amount of extra skin I had. I thought if he thought that and he had seen a lot of people like me then, yes I really did need this surgery it was not just vanity! Validation is so sweet! They gave me pictures of compression spanx and bras I needed to buy and RX that needed to be filled. So we went shopping. I wish I had gotten the compression garment info before. I had read they would give me a binder thing I sorta thought that was the compression garment. But the examples were of a high waisted spanx firm support or a Maidenform Power slimmer hi waste thigh slimmer firm support. Deciding which one I liked best took quite a while. Then I remembered other people talking online about having ones that had zippers on the sides. But they were $100 more than these. I had a coupon for Kolhs so got the Maidenform one. Hopefully it is good enough. Meanwhile I got a call from the hospital admissions and had to talk to them for a little while and then I got a call from the nurse at the hospital and that was a 20 minute conversation that included listing all of your medications and your total health history and stuff like that. Not the kind of thing you can easily do while changing clothes in kohl though. Then waiting for prescriptions and trying to figure out that lift chair business was also very time-consuming. Because I knew Rent-A-Center had one that was only $100 for a whole month I tried really hard to get that one. But it turns out all of the Rent-A-Center's in San Antonio don't have them. And trying to get one trucked in from out of town was more money than going with one of the local medical supply places. The cheapest one I could find with them was $250 for 12 days which included $50 each way dropping it off and picking it up. However we just saw on Craigslist there was one for sale for one hundred dollars so my husband will decide while I'm in surgery whether he will order the one or go buy the other one and tell my son to resell it after we leave.( I am staying with him for 2 more weeks after we leave san Antonio so I can use it at his house) I guess it's kind of silly that I'm spending over $20,000 on a surgery but I'm freaking out over extra hundred dollars for this chair.
We are staying at Homewood suites and so far are very impressed. I got room with shallow tub and hand held shower head which I am already happy about! We got the kitchen stocked and computer hooked to Tv set up so we can watch our dvr Dish anywhere shows on it. Yummy broth for bed time snack and now probably 10 more trips to the potty and I will be in surgery! Can't wait for the good nap!!
