Thanks for the responses, I did read them before the surgery and they really help. I have bilateral fat graphs and my wrists in splints from 12/10 till 12/24 so didn't do much typing, or anything else for that matter.
I got my new tatas on 12/27. They are huge, but I am assured it's mostly swelling. Should be a large C cup so slightly larger that my pre weight loss breasts but not 45" around. I ended up getting round textured implants under the muscle, and just like someone said, with having the lower body at the same time I barely notice any breast pain. I think they are 230cc. Turns out I had plenty of breast tissue on the top pole. I LOVE my new nipples and belly button.
Looks awsome. I had my lids done in Feb and because my insurance wouldn't cover the brows unless the lids didn't improve my vision I had the brow lift, that my doctor said I needed back in February about 6 weeks ago. Because it was covered by insurance and I don't scar much I had the external lift. So, for now, have a bright red scar above my brows. Not a good look. Should have skipped it and had my brows done when I had my lower face and neck lift yesterday. I was so Po'ed at the insurance for forcing me to have two anesthesia's and two recoveries and was feeling spiteful.
You look great!!!

You look great, Liz. Your surgeon did an excellent job. The results look very natural and you look well-rested, not overly-done like some results I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry you are still having trouble. It sounds like it might be a smart move not to have your thighs done. Honestly, I decided not to get my thighs done and I do not have any medical issues. Too many people seem to have issues with thighs. I do hope you are completely healed soon!!

Hi Gwen
My protein intake is anywhere from 100g to as much as 170g daily. I do have mixed connective tissue disorder but when I talked to my rheumatologist he said it was ok to have surgery.....regardless of my disorder.
Hi Laura
I had another doctor look and he said could be from mixed connective tissue disorder I have. Wanted to get medial thigh lift but not sure if I want to continue now.
Hi Leslie
Thank u for replying. I have only seen 2 sutures in the 7 to 8 areas that have opened up. I also have mixed connective tissue disorder. I'm so ready to be healed. :(
I had issues with dissolvable sutures and spitting stitches for months. Would get an open spontaneously to find a suture under the skin.
