I got my corset trunkplasty and hip/thigh lipo surgery date--- May 16th.  Not sure yet about getting hysterectomy at same time, as Gyn won't commit to the date yet.  Either way I am getting the trunkplasty and lipo done.

www.corsettrunkplasty.com if anyone wants to see what it is.

Congratulations on your date! It is very exciting!

I have had an uncomplicated recovery from my LBL, but I
must say it is one of the hardest physical things I have ever done. I don't know that I could have handled a hysterectomy at the same time. WOW! they are both huge surgeries. I had my hysterectomy 18 years ago. It was vaginally with an uncomplicated recovery. I was in my 20s and in good shape.

In my non-medical opinion, you really need a strong core after the hysterectomy. I would personally struggle with the abdominal tightening and the need for abdominal support post- hysterectomy. My two cents are ... do the surgeries separately and give your body time to recover in between.

I don't mean to rain on your parade. Plastics are a huge step in our WLS journeys. This is a great place for support.

Whatever you decide is best for you, keep us posted and share your experience with us!
