Ah! I see! Thank you for sharing. I appreciate that. Either way, if I could get your tummy and arms, I'd be beyond happy. Lol. Congrats, girl!

I actually didn't have to have brachioplasty (arm lift). I was pretty lucky there. I did a lot of strength training throughout my weight loss, and I think that helped. Plus I just never carried all that much excess weight in my arms to begin with. I have a little bit of wobbly skin there, but nothing requiring surgical intervention.

My stomach on the other hand, there was just no amount of exercising or moisturizing that was going to take care of THAT much loose skin, so I had a Tummy Tuck and could not be more thrilled with the results! But for anyone considering a tummy tuck, understand that it is SERIOUS surgery. The recovery time and pain are a million times worse than WLS.

These are my favorite pictures. I'm struggling still with maintaining but I'm trying to remember how far I've come and feel happy that at least the weight is off and I'm never going to feel the way I used to feel again.
