Thank you!! I'm only two months out, but my arms have fallen drastically.

I lI I lost weight the old fashion way many years ago and I was in the best shape I have ever been and I still had the bat wings. I looked into surgery back then but had too many other financial responsibilities at the time and then gained the weight back. I am 7 weeks post-op and hope to have this weight off and have bat wing surgery next summer. I have many flabby areas but my arms are the only flabby area that can't be covered by swimsuit and I only wear sleeves that cover the bat wings, which I hate. I want to wear cute little summer shirts!

I am concerned with this too because my arms were really big, and they are now starting to get flabby. My trainer tells me that if I do enough arm exercises, particularly the triceps, then it will really help. He works my arms until I want to cry- we'll see in a few months if it makes any difference in my loose skin. I am not sure it will, but I am willing to give it a try because I have nothing to lose.

Exercise is crucial, I've seen incredible before and after pics of people who have nearly eliminated the batwings just with weight training, but I think most of us will require surgery to eliminate them. Either way, weight training is crucial.

      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.
