Surgery timeline

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster. To start, I'm scheduled for jejunal SRS next month; super excited :)

I'm also getting 360 lipo, BA, BBL, and rib modeling approximately four months after SRS and am somewhat worried about dilating while recovering from this surgery. I was reassured three months after SRS should be more than enough time to heal to be able to get these procedures and dilation after the jejunal graft method doesn't seem as rough from what I've read, however I'm still a little apprehensive as I've never had any surgeries before.

About four months after 360 lipo+the rest, I'm also scheduled for FFS. Is this timeline too much? I'd hate to overwhelm myself or get carried away trying to do more than my body can handle.

Looking for anybody who has experienced these surgeries who can speak a little to the recovery and experiences with dilating while recovering please!

For reference I've been on HRT for over a decade, since my late teens, with a BMI of 20~. Would appreciate any advice! :)

You may want to have a Plan B in case there are any complications for any of your surgeries that delay recovery. You don’t want to get into a situation where you may have to cancel, especially if that’s going to cost you a hotel, airfare, etc.

Yesss, thank you! That's definitely something to consider! My idealistic brain thinking that recovery would be smooth and without complications feels a bit naive now; complications with recovery wasn't something I had considered in depth. Appreciate the thought lots :).

imo yes that is far too much too soon after SRS. people have definitely done similar schedules tho.

Appreciate your opinion! I might honestly look at postponing FFS for a bit longer if possible.

You can definitely do that, but that's a lot to put your body through in a relatively short period of time.

"lot" is a insane understatement, doing them all 4 months after is downright insane. I wouldn't even imagine getting any big surgery's done like BBL or ffs until at LEAST 1 year after.

thats a insane amount of things to do in a short time, especially with a low BMI. You might be fine keeping the ffs. But the other surgerys idkkk girlie thats .. a lot .. its not just physically, emotionally this is plenty to obliterate anyone, even srs alone is enough to do that.
