I had an evaluation in Las Vegas for an arm life and it was about $10,000.00 That includes everything. I am interested to see what the costs re in other parts of the country.

I am having brachioplasty surgery on July 1st. I started thinking about it being a week away and questions kept running through my mind so I was glad to find this post. I am nervous but also ready to be able to wear cute, cool clothes in the summer and ditch the hot 3/4 length sleeve shirts. My husband has to go back to work on the July 2nd. Will I be able to stay by myself the day after surgery if I don't have to lift or reach for anything? I am a teacher and will have to start getting my classroom put back together around the 2nd week in August. Will I be able to put up bulletin boards and move light objects by this time? Thanks for all of the info!

I don't know about arms but my tummy and breasts itch. Lots of tingly sensations. Hopefully it will subside soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
