Thank you for your response.

I am going to call my plastic surgeon's office tomorrow and get some questions answered about combined surgeries.  Although my arms are a big issue with me, I am really worried that I will need them to be in tip top shape to help me get up and down after the tummy tuck. 

Oh boy...I hate when I second guess myself...story of my life it seems.

Thanks again...good luck in November with your surgeries, and speedy recovery.

Take care...Linda

 I also went with your option #1. I needed my arms to help me when I had the tummy tuck. My muscle tightening was pretty extensive. I appreciated having my arms to help me get up and down.

I combined my arms with an inner thigh lift.

Thanks for commenting.

Did your surgeon recommend not doing the arms when you had the tummy tuck in order for you to have good use of your arms?  Just curious what he said.

Love getting all this feedback.  Nothing like personal experiences to help with these decisions.

Thanks.

Linda

 Yes, he felt doing it the way we did was the best approach.
