Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Everyone, This may sound like a silly question, but with upper/lower coming up in six months or so, I've been thinking about the fact that I'm such a lightweight, and am technically not supposed to even be able to donate blood. I wonder if this will have any effect on my recovery time, or any other aspect of the surgery, including blood loss. F.Y.I., I'm 37, weigh between 100-105 pounds. Doc says I'll lose ten percent of body weight, which means I won't be a pretty sight walking around at 90 pounds. Kind of hard to imagine. Hopefully, I'll gain the weight back quickly. I do try (in the summer and spring months) to be athletic, so I'm a pretty solid 105 pounds, run a few days a week, healthy, etc. Any other " petites " out there willing to share your experience with this surgery? Thanks! Amelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
