OMG, your arms look great! Thanks for sharing your pics with us. It gave me the kick I needed to start looking into surgeons near me.

Please keep us posted on the healing with pics!

Thanks!

I was worried about scarring, but yours are looking very good! I was banded by Dr. DeWitt in Birmingham, I wouldn't mind going to Anniston as I visit the Army Depot up there to buy rifles a good bit. Post more pics soon!

Do you have any additional pictures of how they look now? How is the scarring healing? This is the only thing I am worried about

Your arms look great!! I had mine done Oct 2009 My arms were MUCH MUCH bigger then yours. I am happy I had it done and would do it again but i had a few problems I had a bad numbness for almost a year and still dont have normal feelings by the incision areas. I also had drains in for 13 days. There was so much tissue that I had to have the drains. My cost also was 10,000 which killed me but my bat wings were so bad. The problem is now I dont have any money left to do the body lift and thigh lift I need so bad. But those I can hide lol I did post pictures on here somewhere of my arms. Best of luck keep posting picts!

It is going well! I do still have some numbness but as long as noone touches my scars Im fine lol. It is just right along the upper scar line but it has gotten better. I don't even notice it hardly except for when I rub lotion on it.

For some reason I have not been getting email updates from this site so I apologize that I have not posted on this thread in quite some time. When I get home this evening I will post up some recent pix. I love my arms I am so excited for the summer to get here lol. My scar line is still pretty red but Im pretty sure that will fade away over the next year or so. You can't even see my scar except from behind anyway lol.

I was super worried about the scar too but when it came down to it I was more self concious of the bat wings that I am with a scar!

I hope you all are doing well! More pix to come tonight!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
