Anyone have Brachioplasty (arm lift) covered by insurance?

I was a revision from lap band, my surgery was Dec 10th 2012 so I'm about 4months out. Recovery had its ups and downs, I hated every creamy Protein drink, only found one I could stomach (no pun intended lol) but after 2months on them I can't drink any Protein drinks with out wanna to punch someone haha. I am still sore around my incision near my navel, makes it very hard to work out and run. But I do when I can. I'm a slow loser but started out with a lower weight since I was a revision from evil band complications. Dec weight 198.5, current 169. I have more I need to lose since I'm only 5'3" but am healthier now and with out all the sickness I had for 5 years with the band. I tolerate food better now and still can't eat certain things but its bad stuff I have no business eating (ie fried foods, sugary ect) I can finally handle my coffee again and can eat meat, though certain ones I handle better than others. You'll have your moments of regret that is VERY fleeting when your eating a delicious meal and its that moment that 3bites makes you full and sick to your stomach. Then I get mad because I want to be able to eat lol, then their are days that I can eat a nice plate of crawfish lol. It's hit and miss. But over all best decision I ever made, I really wish I would have gotten this originally but having the demon band hell has helped me know how to eat proper size portions, chew chew chew and appreciate how this is a true tool and gift to have had done.

It's not the hair it's the man, if they are insecure about their hair or lack of its a huge turn off. Own what you got and work it. My fiancé has been bald since he was in high school. I meet him at 26 and it never once phased me, I think he's sexy lol.

Heck I'd be happy to be 50+ down. I'm 13wks and 27.7lbs down lol. We all lose differently

I drink a lot of peppermint tea, Breakfast tea ect and put a little honey in it. (Peppermint tea soothes my stomach when queasy) I have used Mio, not too bad but not sure what fake sugar it has

Hey sweetie, I had my hell band for 5yrs. Lots of complications, sickness, pain ect. Had it removed & was sleeved Dec 10th 2012. I'm doing gets very few complications, 10000000 times better than that stupid band, feel so much better. I'm a slow looser down 27.2lbs but love it!

Yes & 3 weeks in 1 week out, insert new ring & repeat. It's fantastic!

Omg yes! I hated posting there, I had so many complications and was so sick. And when I would post to vent or for support they treated me like I was a freaking moron who couldn't figure out how to utilize the band and all my complications were no big deal. I haven't been on there in a year now because of it. I joined this one when I started my journey to revision. 2months post op and feel 100x's better!

I'm little over 2mo out only down 26.2 lbs, no regrets. I'm a slow loser but am happy to be losing & feel so much better.

Making it again for my parents and great aunt to try since my son has been begging for it! he calls it our healthy pizza. He likes it more than frozen store bought pizza

So little over 2months out, losing very VERY slow lol. But down 25.7lbs 50lbs more to go.

I'm 2mo po & after I went to the gym the other day that same pain came back. I had it for 5wks finally stopped & the jumping around in class triggered it again. Calling doctor today

Yes it's the one you insert yourself. Kinda looks like those little plastic/rubber bracelets the kids wear lol. Easy to insert & remove.

I use nuvaring and LOVE it, so far (5 1/2yrs) on it no surprises and I don't have the hormonal issue I had with the pill.

Same, I'm little over 2mo post op and not having the issues I had in the past with my iBS

Get the Brazilian Butt lift DVD it works WONDERS!!!

When I had my original surgery (evil band) 5yrs ago I went from a 9 to a 7 1/2 shoe size lol. I still wear a 7 1/2 even with the weight I gained back. Hoping not to have to get new shoes again this time lol

So looks like I'll be on weekly B12 shots, luckily my fiancé doesn't mind doing it. Gave me my first one today. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be Hoping ill start feeling the B12 benefits tomorrow

So it's 4 days past my 2 month mark & finally hit 25lbs down Hoping to drop another 25 in next 2 months, started gym again & did Latin heat last night, so fun

Hello there sleevers So getting more nervous/excited, I'm getting revised from band to sleeve Dec 10th. Soooo with that wanted to hear from my fellow shorties. I'm 5'3", hovering around 190 (no hating remember I was banded and had lost weight with it and been gaining like a mad woman) So what's you story? Height, start weight, current how was the recovery process?

Things I never thought I'd say, I now can not stand the following: Simi, milk or dark chocolate, makes me gag pizza coffee pudding Ice cream Nachos chips Brownies I have sampled these items from my fiancé & son and I do not like them any more lol. Which of course is a good thing but never thought I'd say that. I crave & love Bananas Kale Popcorn Pickles Tea Shrimp Crawfish
