Hi patti!
I am in pembroke pines! My ps is in ventura in miami. A dr. Amunitequi. My LBL is july 11th. This surgeon has done patients from my WL dr. And one of my "skinny" friends for other procedures. Now I am getting excited, with 10 days to go.

My WL surgeon also has a practisee on ft. Myers coast.

Think about where you are going to sleep for the first few days.  I set up a "station" in my living room.  TV close by, a couple of books, a table for meds and food and an electric recliner.  I happen to have one from my grandfather (I got it when he passed), but you can rent them too.  A regular recliner would work, but you might need someone to pull the "arm" for the first few days to get you up and down.

I have a HIGH bed - I would have had a lot of trouble getting in and shifted around in there for the first few days.

Having arms done with a TT was great.  The arms were such an easy surgery - it was a good blend with the more painful TT.

Also - what soemone else said about staying on top of pain meds - don't be a hero. 

Drink LOTS of fluids.  Have protein drinks on hand, because you won't have much appetite after.  I found my weight dropped quickly and I needed to drink a couple shakes a day to keep things level.
