Well.....my brachioplasty is scheduled for November 14th at 7AM!! WOOHOO! Getting nervous. I wanted to share the journey with you all. I am posting up today preop pix! Dr. Urquehart in Anniston, AL is doing my surgery. Total cost for me: $3400! Not too bad considering his standard cost is $3600!!! Oh and did I mention that I get 3 free laser treatments to my scars!!! WOOHOO!!!!

This is what my arms look like now.....

This is what he said they should look like after surgery...we shall see!!!!

Amazing! Love it! I'm glad to hear things went well, and that you aren't finding it too painful. This is a procedure I will certainly be looking into eventually (I have to lose the weight first ) I'm glad you shared your experience with us!

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. You look really good already. Take it easy.

Thank you all very much. This evening has been a little rough. I slept just about all day but there were tornado warnings all around about lunch time. So that really freaked me out...I was here by myself bc my hubs went back to work today and I felt like a sitting duck. Thank God it went all north of here. But after that was all over I went back to bed. Not too sure why I feel so drained today. I have gotten in plenty of fluids and plenty of Protein. Ive felt cold all day and its 73 in my house...lol. Anyway, thank you all for the great comments. I will post pix as time goes on. Im so excited about summer its crazy winter isnt even officially here yet lol.

Thanks a bunch. I love ink. Ive kinda gotten addicted to it lol.

Excellent results and I love your ink!!!

Well....my 2 little stiches that are at the ends of my incisions on each arm will come out monday morning. I will try and remember to take pictures when I get home from work. of how well it is healing. My scars are going to look great I do believe. Im so excited :-)

[skinnygirl 1]

makes me want that done too...u look so good girl!

[kaninag 35]

Thanks bunches! today was the 2 week mark so I thought I would post up a couple pix of my incisions. The incision did open up under my right arm pit but doc says that the scar will just be a little wider there...which is no big deal bc it will never be seen *not to mention if I really hate it I'll just utilize my free laser treatments lol. Heres a peak. She put fresh steri-strips on it this morning after removing the 4 stitches...ugh the steri-strips ITCH!!!!
