asherje 81 Posted November 30, 2012 Okay weird question, with your weightloss has the arm jiggle subsided? I've always battled the ever embarrassing arm jiggle, the kind that if you waved too hard may knock yourself out or an innocent bystander. I'm concerned that with the weightloss and working out ill still have his issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted November 30, 2012 Mine is not pretty and getting worse as I drop more weight. But if that is the price to pay, I'm good with it. 1 Donny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

920amy 409 Posted November 30, 2012 I have read a lot of people using wraps for the arms, and some of the pictures look compelling. I will probably try some. Also, there is always surgery at the end if they are really bad! I read that if you do any amount of exercise it should help, also I've read lotion and wearing compression garments to bed. Many people say the skin tightens a lot as time goes by, that's why they recommend 2 years after WLS before getting any plastics. There seems to be lots of difference of results also depending on age, skin texture etc also. If any of you find a miracle cure, I want in on it though!! 2 AStephenson and Livinglifeout reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyllfalcon 768 Posted November 30, 2012 Arm jiggle got worse for me as the pounds dropped off. But I'm old and never had very elastic skin. You may fare better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AStephenson 159 Posted November 30, 2012 I'm not holding out much hope that my arms will shape up after losing weight. They are terrible now as it is, lots of stretch marks in the skin, no matter how hard I work out. Plus the women on both sides of my family have "bat wings" so I fear I'm doomed to keep them. I've been researching surgery..... 1 amykins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BKMama 179 Posted November 30, 2012 My arms are firming up with exercise but I know I will always have my "bat wings". I hope to just make them less noticeable because the attention will be drawn to my otherwise awesome arms and shoulders. Welcome to the gun show! LOL 3 delta_girl, amykins and 920amy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystie 146 Posted December 1, 2012 I'm not holding out a lot of hope for my arms, they've always been huge and saggy. Think my insurance would consider an arm reconstruction medically necessary if the sound of the flab flapping around hurts my ears? 1 SunnyCox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bella86 82 Posted December 1, 2012 Freaking out about my arms as they were really big before - my most hated part! I always looked bigger than other ppl even if they were similar size because my arms were big... I know they'll never be perfect, was looking at a pic from when I was 18 and skinnier and they were still big for my size :-/ Might have to try the compression bandages, I've been using bio-oil too to add moisture in hope they'll just pop in lol they are getting a great droop on atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffylibra30 323 Posted December 1, 2012 My arms are jiggly but I've got great muscle tone so I think there is hope yet. I am 11 months out, 117 pounds down. 1 asherje reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fluffylibra30 323 Posted December 1, 2012 Fluffy do u do any weight training or pump classes and does it help? I do 2 days low weight, high rep. 1 day high weight low rep. It has helped a TON. Sure they are still jiggly how could they not be? But I would look much worse without the exercise! 1 BKMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
