 Hi everyone....I have a few questions for you the pros.  I want to have a reduction and lift to my "wide and Long" boobies.....I also am doing my tummy.  I have lost 75 lbs. and it has been off for over a year.  I have about 15 lb. to go.  My question is this:  I was wondering if you all suggest doing them at the same time OR doing the boobs in the winter and the tummy in the spring??  I have seen 3 dr.s and have answers both ways.  1 dr. says the boobs are about a 4 hr. surgery and 4 or 5 more for the tummy - "way too much anesthesia and sewing" and no way to "get comfortable" after the surgery.  The next 2 said "no problem" doing them at the same time...what do you think?  Also, how do you feel about a SurgiCenter as compared to a Hospital? for a same day surgery?  Also, 1 surgeon is doing a lolipop insision only and the other is doing that WITH the underneath scar ( ?) as well - any opinion either way?

I know I will have more questions and I am thrilled to find you all here.

And if anyone can help me change my avatar pix to my actual "after"   - please give me a clue!!

And PS..My Ps wouldnt do the same time due to Health risk of being under to long and also I have a child who is disabled with belly and boobs done at same time I wouldnt be able to do much for her. But he was more worried about the length of time being under which my sister a RN she agrees with my Dr

 Taylor had "global developmental delays" until she was 5.  Then she was diagnosed correctly with Rett Syndrome.  She cant talk or use her hands.  Wears pull ups.  Walks well and is our middle daughter and the sunshine of our lives - her smile lights up a room.  Nice to meet you.

i just had anchorr tt and breast reduction w/lift 2 weeks ago and im doing fine. i was under for 5.5 hrs total stayed 1 night in the hospital came home the next day.  i was really sore the 1st week but everyday has gotten better.  i havent taken the pain meds since day 5. i have been driving short amounts and im am tired alot!  the fatigue is the worst for me! im sick of being tired!! i would reccomend both at the same time. this way you only have 1 recovery. my breast were no problem at all but they are starting to get more tnder...could be because my period is on its way im not sure.

good luck to you! either way you will be soooo happy!!
