    Oh, my gawd!

    That's exciting.

    As I've said before, the one plastics I would love is the arms one. Can't wait to see your recovery pictures.

    Good luck, B2B!

    Wow! Both at the same time! I had a tummy tuck and my arms done separately. I couldn't imagine having both done at once! I commend you! I'm a wuss for pain. I get my thigh lift done September 1st. That will be it for me. Good luck and remember to listen to the doctor!!!

    I'm nervous about having them both done at once, but I have a really high pain tolerance, and will save money combining the procedures. I could also use a thigh lift and breast augmentation, but my tummy and arms are my main concern.

    Good luck. I am recovering from having the works done just over two weeks ago. The pain in totally manageable. I did not take a single narcotic pain pill and was off even tylenol by day 4 or 5(can't recall for sure). I hope that your experience is similar!

    I had my arms and lower face and neck done the day after Christmas. Tummy is scheduled for June. Extra pillows for your arms are a huge help. Happy healing!
