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.
