How long can I expect to be off work following a lower body lift?

I'd like to hear from people who have had a full lower body lift - abdominoplasty, butt lift, thigh lift, hips . . . the works! I'm having one in ten days and I'd like to realistically know how long I can expect to be down. I'd also like to know about the pain. I had an open rny and that was some serious pain until I discovered the "joystick" and began pressing it every twenty minutes. Will this be better or worse than that? Does the pain last longer and is the recovery time longer as well? Thanks for any info you can provide. Traci - rny on 8/15/01 down 285 pounds and still learning how to maintain.
