Bat Wing Solutions?



Recommended Posts

This may have been posted somewhere in this section, but now that I am almost at goal, and faithfully doing my weight training every other day, I'm coming to the realization that nothing will tighten my upper underarm skin but surgery. Does anyone know what this is called and if it's a major procedure?

Thanks for any info!

An arm lift or sometimes some simple Lipo may be enough! If you google arm lift you will find tons of stuff :) They now have a more expensive procedure that leaves the scar in your armpit instead of along the arm!

I prefer to have bat wings. It makes me feel like a super hero....The Fat Knight :lol:

Queen, the one thing that would tighten them is to add some upper arm muscle. But that is extremely difficult to do on a calorie deficient diet, as you probably know. For me, I can't get my upper arms to grow without doing heavy (for me) weights as well.

You could do a funky sleeve tattoo to distract attention from the loose skin.

Thanks for the site and all the suggestions; I think I might forgo the tattoo one! Don't get me wrong, I like tats, just not droopy ones!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
