LOL...I have the opposite problem...that is the first place I lost weight and now it's just flapping skin...of course I am 51 years old, so I guess that should be expected

Google Katie Couric Bingo Wings. I saw she had a segment on it with a trainer. I haven't watched the segment yet but plan to :)

You can't target where you will lose fat. You can't spot reduce.. Running won't make you lose leg fat, situps won't make you lose belly fat, etc... Building muscle can help replace VOLUME where you have lost fat.. So if your arms are only a little fat and you lose the fat and replace it with muscle, you will not have loose skin because you have replaced the volume.. BUT if you have a lot of fat, you're not going to be able to build enough muscle to replace the volume and you will likely have excess skin. For some people with time their skin will bounce back.. but for others it won't happen.. Whether or not your skin bounces back is dependent upon several factors including age, genetics, how fat you were, and how long you were fat.

Personally my arms looked BETTER before I started losing weight. I just had plump arms before but they looked like normal arms.. Now I've got crazy, saggy, flappy bingo wings. There is NO WAY that my skin will EVER return to normal on its own so I'm already saving up for plastics!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
