Same with me. I'm 10 weeks post op. My arms look great from the top, but lots of hangings get skin. I've been trying to lift 5 lb weights in order to firm them, but I'm not sure if that will work. I'm also interested in what others have done to help firms the upper arms.

I'm a year out, and I call them bat wings. I hate the sound they make when I put my arms down. If I could afford it that would be the first surgery I would get. In between my legs is bad too. I've been lifting weights and working out, but my body is still trying to catch up with the weight loss.

Weight lifting is really the best. I've had good results but alas, nothing replaces plastic surgery. The top is muscle but the bottom is loose skin:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
