Scheduling next surgery

I had extended TT, BL/BA  5 weeks ago.  Will be scheduling the next surgery when I go in for 6 week check.  He is doing the brachioplasty & inner thigh lift.  We talked about the end of June (which would be about 10 or 11 weeks).  He seems to think it will be ok.  Other than having both my arms and legs out of commission at one time, I live where it is really hot in the summer.  He said that he could do the buttock lift instead at that time, if I prefer.  I am concerned about recovery with the compression garments and the heat.  Has anyone had both the arms and legs done at one time?  What are the difficulties in recovery besides the obvious inability to move well and swelling?  I really would like to have all of this done by fall.  Has anyone had just the buttock lift?  How do you move, sit, lie down etc?

The heat worries me too. I am looking at having tt and thigh lift in JULY!!!!! Yikes I am going to have to stay inside all summer. My doctor won't do my arms and legs at the same time. Just cause he said I would be miserable. What about butt and thigh lift at same time. Do arms later?

 I has extended TT fleur de leis, BL and arm revision on March 13 then on April 30th  I had TT revsion on the anchor incision and had butt lift and bA I was supposed to have the thigh lift but my blood count dropped so I go to DR Tuesday and hope to do it soon,  The butt lift was a snap. So far I think the TT and the BA was the most painful. DR tells me the thigh lift recovery is easy. I had the arms done in 2/2009 and recovery was easy. I was off work 2 weeks with each stage, I have a desk job, I am just anxious to get these thighs done. I am loving how clothes fit after the TT and butt lift. It is so fun to shop and will be better After these thighs go. :) good luck!

       Congratulations!!! and Best Wishes!!  Jennifer
