TT and Brachioplasty

I the two procedures Friday at 8 and home by 3pm.  Sure there is plenty of soreness but never too bad.  Didn't go with the OnQ pump because the hospita wanted $1000.00.  Only costs them around $150 or so.  Doing fine with percocet and flexeril.  My garments are very cute and quite comfy.  I go for my first post op tomorrow at noon.  Hope to lose the two arm drains.  Have 1 for each arm and two for the abdomen.

Did youor the surgeon  choose a TT over a LBL, or did you only need a TT?

I carried most of my weight up front so the TT was good for me.  I will at some point want my thighs done but that is down the road as I had to finance both the VSG last January and this surgery last Friday.  Unless, of course, I win the lottery!    I am going to the surgeon in an hour to get my first look at his work.  So far this has been an easy recovery. Mainly just tired.  Plenty of napping involved.  Yea naps!

Are you still in the "deciding" stage?  I really HATED my arms and knew that they had to go in the first round.  My surgeon suggested arms and belly together and then boobs and thighs together.  He doesn't like to do belly and thighs together because incision lines are too close together and had rather have belly healed before doing thighs.  I hope this helps!
