Arms

[KristieAtkinson 589]

I've been hitting the weights since my 6 month pre op diet & I think it has paid off in my arms. I may be able to avoid plastics there! Although it I unavoidable for my stomach & my breasts. Going to reserve judgement on my thighs for a little while longer.

Sleeve date: 5-18-12

Corset Trunkplasty scheduled: 5-28-13

Please ignore my wet hair in this picture!

Looking good! The corset thing....what is that? Is it for the torso/tummy area?

Greattttt! Love it! My arms are my issue. Your arms are an inspiration.

Congrats

It's from under breasts straight down & from hip to hip. It gets the loose skin & fat from upper, middle & lower stomach areas. The doctor estimates 15-18 pounds on mine.

I think your arms look great!

Thank you all! I originally thought I would need them done but at this point I think the scar would be pointless.

wow! that pic of the corset thingy is amazing! Are you having it done locally? Is anything covered by insurance?

[LipstickLady 25,682]

How do they look flat against your body? That's a huge concern for me. I would love to go sleeveless. Arms, not tummy. HA!

I'm having it done in Lexington KY. The whole procedure including surgeon, anesthesia & facility was $8600. It's a 6 hour surgery.

Unfortunately only a oanelectomy was covered by my insurance which ended up looking kinda choppy to me as it leaves all the skin above the belly button. Basically it just uncovers the pubis.

When my arms are down, they look way better. I just took the picture to show "batwing"

[LipstickLady 25,682]

That's fantastic then!

..what machines do you do for your arms? or free weights? pounds lifted? reps? I hate my batwings - I had them when I was skinny & now they are even worse....

You look great!

This is what I did at the gym yesterday. I use the machines.

I do 4 sets of 15-25 on each machine.
