Re: plastic surgery question

[Guest guest]

Rhonda,

Well, I did have my arms and legs done at the same time. But I can tell

you that the arms was a piece of cake! My PS didn't require a compression

garment but I was wrapped from fingertips to armpits for about 2 weeks. The

worst part of that for me was that it was pushing 100 here in Vegas and

since it was April I was too cheap to put on the AC.

I bought some children's tights at the dollar store, cut out the crotch and

used them under my ace bandage. The pain was minimal because it didn't

involve any muscle at all. The PS removed 2.5 pounds of skin, just skin

from my arms.

If you want to see pictures go to my site and click on the PS Pix tab.

Good luck!!

Hi Everyone

I have been away from the computer but I am back.

I have a question. I am having my arms done next Thursday and was wondering

was originally told if I did it on a Thursday I could go back to work Monday

today the nurse said she thought a week.

any inputs would be appreciated

Regards

I had mine done on a Tuesday and I drove myself to the doctor on Thursday and to

a meeting on Friday. Back to full time everything by Sunday.

Easiest surgery I've ever done. Most dramatic, too! It's been 2 years and I am

still totally happy with my arms.

hugs,

Ann
