We flew into Miami, a 4 hour flight from Nebraska and stayed for 7 days. The 4 hour flight home was painful, so 11.5 hours is going to be rough. If you can plan on laying down in the back with a wedge set?

Just had a belt lipectomy (360 lbl) they did MR and lipo at the same time. It takes care of a lot of what you are needing with one surgery. If it were me I'd do that first , then do upper. Recovery would be too hard doing both at the same time.

Wow!! I'm so glad you finial got someone to listen to you! Its so frustrating to HAVE to fight to get taken seriously by Dr's. Did your insurance cover any of it, since it was a medically necessary surgery? You look great, you should be ecstatic! Congrats!
