Here's the deal: I had my belt lipectomy on 9/08/03, and aside from a

seroma in the groin which is slowly being absorbed, and the typical belly

swelling,

I have recovered terrificly from that. Had my labs done a couple of weeks

ago, and everything was fine except for a low-normal ferritin of 54 (for which

I have boosted iron supps.) So, for personal reasons, I have booked my

breast reduction/breast lift & brachioplasty for 12/22/03 -- a sort of

masochistic

Xmas present to myself! LOL! Plastic surgeon (saw him Tuesday) says I am

good to go. He confirmed that blood loss from these surgeries is minimal, so

I am somewhat reassured about NOT depleting iron stores any further from these

procedures (versus the bloodbath associated with belt lipectomy.) GYN (saw

her yesterday) advised to protein load and up calories a bit (she's rather

enlightened don't you think?) in prep for healing etc. Will see Dr. Gagner

next

week for 2nd annual, and I don't expect him to object. But having said all

that, I am a bit nervous nonetheless about having these surgeries rather

proximate to each other, just for wear and tear on body etc. Perhaps I am

confusing nervousness with dread. Although right now, dread is being trumped

by

determination.

Anyone out there have their plastics done this close together? Any

advice/caution/words of warning & wisdom -- from one and all?

Shouts of " Run for your life, dumbass! " are okay too. I really want to get

a clear idea of what I am in for, potentially, if anything.

Thanks,

Lucille
