I had all my surgeries done at one and did great. I did have the small thigh lift instead of the long thigh lift. I was 59. You move like a little old lady, take care getting in or out of bed. I had one recovery period and was back at work 8 weeks later. I stayed 2 weeks instead of the 12 days.

Even if you're not scheduling until January, you should absolutely be able to ask the surgeon these questions now - and get answers.

Hello, I really want lip on my stomach and pubic mound. However, I have been told that Dr. Sauceda will not lipo the pubic mound or stomach if he is doing surgery in that area. I DO NOT WANT a big pubic mound. Does anyone know how long you have to wait between lipo and surgery in the same area? Also, I want fat injected into my face and rear so the only fat I have available is in my stomach. Does that mean I need to have separate surgeries. I know these questions are for the doctor, however, I am wondering if anyone has had an experience to share because my surgery is not going to be scheduled until January so I will not be able to ask and figure out the timing for my surgeries. Thank you:)

I saw an endocrinologist because I was always getting low blood sugar. He said this happens later out in surgeries. I have now increased my protein by taking in 3 protein shakes a day, lowered my carbs and sugar and too my surprise this morning, I lost 5 pounds! In a week! I also have hypothyroid and low iron. I used to have to get iron infusions but when I started taking a b vitamin complex, I no longer have had to get them. My iron is a bit borderline and I want to get one more infusion before I have my plastic surgery which I can not believe is going to actually happen after all of these years.

Sounds like a plan for the protein.

Because of thyroid and other issues, I'm now seeing an endocrinologist. She is advising the probiotics also, as generally helping with regularity after taking iron.
