Flabby hams for upper arms



Recommended Posts

My upper arms are disgusting. I lost 60 lbs at 6 months post op but my arms are something else. My PA said surgery is painful and disfiguring with a huge scar. Do they ever get any better? I do light weights and Water exercises to tone the muscle to no avail. Any suggestions?

I am your age and my arms are terrible. I am down 63 lbs but have 45 more to go. I will have surgery on. My arms and boobs as long as I am in good enough health. Look for a good plastic surgeon. The scar is under your arm and would only show if you put your arms up. The rest of my body will be held in with spanks.

The whole skin topic freaks me out. Out of everything this surgery will entail, it's the flabby skin that scares me. LOL! Since insurance does not cover plastics (That I know of), the only way I could afford plastic surgery would be if I won the lottery. (Sigh)

my insurance covere it but you have to be pretty bad to where its cause health issues, rashes ect this is by asking a few who have my insurance so I'm not 100% but I'm super scared as well. I'd never be able to save up for it and if I tried it could take years...sucks

If you talk to a good plastic surgeon you will find that the scar is small and they use your normal skin folds to introduce the scars, like where your arms meets your armpit or the back near the shoulder.

Don't let idiots scare you. Do your own research.

My upper arms and delts are very toned due to exercise and genetics. Plastic surgeon complimented me on them today even that I am remarkably well defined BUT I still have extra skin and looseness underneath.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
