 Would love to get your feedback on recovery after but lift, flankplasty , and inner thigh lift.  I'm going to do them at the same time.  I have a 3 year old and am considering hiring full time help the first week, as my husband will be working and we have no family here.  Luckily, I don't have a job to rush back to, but I do have a little guy to look after.  I'm so excited and so scared at the same time.  Do you think a week is enough or should I consider having help for longer. I'm a tough cookie, but have never done anything like this with a toddler.  I had my breasts done a few years back and a tummy tuck with serious lipo and muscles tightened before gastric bypass. The tummy tuck was tough and I hope this will be much easier.  That muscle tightening was rough stuff! 

My heaviest was 260 and I'm around 125lbs now and have been for 6 years.  I'm really hoping that my thighs and but not only look better, but won't wrinkle and giggle when I move.  I really want to play tennis in a tennis skirt without my legs looking like a 90 year old womans.  Would love to hear success stories.

Thanks

 I had an LBL with stomach tightening.  I planned on being out two weeks from work but it ended up being three.  I'm also a tough cookie but the healing took longer.  I would suggest planning on at least two weeks and if you heal sooner - great!  Especially with a 3 yr. old - you will be restricted on how much you'll be able to lift, etc.

Good luck!
