Advice for post weight loss surgical procedures

Over the last 3 years I lost over 80Kgs in body weight and made lots of progress in terms of mental heath ( especially self esteem, body image issues etc). I am stable at a reasonable BMI so I am planning to undergo several cosmetic procedures to get rid of the excess skin.

I was wondering if there are any people on here that have gone through these procedures and could talk about their experiences.

I will be undergoing an abdominoplasty, arm, thigh and chest lift and then a follow up surgery to correct scars. The expectation is that these will be three separate procedures 4 months apart.

I will be asking the questions to the surgeons as well but it would be nice to hear about other peoples experiences.

Questions I have are:

  • Reasonably how long do I have to take off from work after each procedure?
  • How long did you have to spend doing rehab exercises per day
  • How long were you unable to drive for?
  • What support did you need after the initial 2 weeks? Could you have managed on your own?

I live on my own so any other general advice?

I am planning to pick up some new hobbies and have structured plans to keep myself accoupled.

I am very active so I know that not being able to exercise is going to hit me quite badly but there is no way to deal with that so will have to find distractions.
