Plastic surgery questions

 I am 18 months post rny.  Best thing I ever did.  I am waiting to hear from my insurance if they will cover plastic surgery to remove the extra skin on my arms & belly and do a breast lift.

I am "penciled in" for surgery on 10/25 pending inurance approval.  

I was curious about realistic recovery times? How much pain was there during recovery? What type of clothing could you wear right after surgery? Are you on bed rest after surgery? How long?

I know these are all really good questions to ask my surgeon and I will but nothing beats real life expirence.

Well I have United Health and was denied, but am still going ahead with the Circumferential lift and arms on the first round @ 10.000.00. i will be taking 6 weeks off. My surgeon said that I may have drains up to a month.

Round 2 thighs and implants @12.000.00. Both include one nights stay in the hospital.

For recovery time I have boxer shorts and mens long tank tops to go between the binder and the skin.
