I will be spending the first 5 nights at the recovery center after my lbl and modified medial thigh lift (only top half of my thighs) before coming home.
Are there things I will have needed the first 5 days that I won't need once I'm home? The recovery center will have all the things I might need there like a raised toilet seat, shower stool, walker... I'm just wondering if I need to have everything on the lists I've read ready at home if the first 5 days are covered?

You may want to post a separate, new post for this. I know several people have had facial plastics, but I'm not sure they'll see your post at the end of this older one!
Wow, pretty amazing results!!! You're an inspiration.

Yes, no intention for it to come off harsh...simply stating given the swelling and tension in early post op days it is hard to imagine things different. I can't wait for some laxity..this is very uncomfortable. And I agree she looks great.

Hi Liz, I'm new to the site and wondering where you got your face lift? Your pics look awesome, very natural!! Any info would be appreciated.
Make sure you go with a board-certified PLASTIC surgeon and not a "cosmetic" surgeon. From what I understand, anyone can call him/herself a cosmetic surgeon...you find many of those folks in the "medical spa" settings.
And ditto on finding a surgeon with tons of experience with surgical weight loss patients, not just face & eye lifts.
Good luck to you!

I am assuming you said that because you are two days out and are on pain killers and don?t realize it came off harsh.
If there wasn?t some laxity of skin you couldn?t do essential things like sit down and stand up.
We tend to microanalyzer ourselves. Erin looks great. .

It's been a LONG time since I have been on this great site. My surgery was on 6/9/09 starting at 299 and losing 140. I had panniculectomy and butt lift done in 2011 but my surgeon moved.
I want ant to get my arms done but want a surgeon that has experience with good pictures. Is there a way to get recommendation on this site? I live in NE Ohio area (Cleveland,Akron,Canton)
I had an LBL and BL and only had 2.65lbs of skin removed. I had a 19 BMI and 19% body fat and was a size 4 before surgery but all those pants are falling off me. I really didn't think I'd lose any size either, but I definitely have. I actually sort of hoped I wouldn't because I was happy with my size and pretty much done with the buying new clothes because I have to (vs because it's fun). When I went home at 8 days post op I tried on a pair of my pants and they fit perfectly. I didn't think I was that swollen but I think I've probably lost 2" of or in my hips since then because I have much more slack in my belt.

Will be interesting to see if there is a clothing size drop for me. Though with only 2lbs of skin removed, I can't believe there would be. Plus with all this swelling it is so hard to imagine, my clothing size dropping. Though rationally I know it is not likely to go up after plastics.
Ao far pretty pleased with the results. Got a mini thigh lift I didn't expect.
