Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first



Recommended Posts

Not sure if this has been said, BUT being able to shave - you know where - without turning into some type of gymnast/contortionist is the best feeling!

& little pimply type things on my arms. All gone.

And here I thought I was super observant.

Now that you mention THIS, it just dawned on me that the little pimply things on my upper arms are gone too. Weird i never noticed.

Yay to the death of pimply arms!

Ok but shaving underarms when they are concave is a much bigger challenge! I heard somebody got loose skin removed on their upper arms and it took out their underarm hair- of a surgeon could promise me that I think I’d start saving for surgery tomorrow! 😂

Would it be easier with those little bikini razors??

This is my experience! Since my arm lift, i basically have no hair in my pits anymore. Scar, yes, but hair, no, lol

I had an arm lift surgery. I have a tiny bit of hair in my pits but honestly it was easier to shave with my concave pits than it is now.

I had the loose skin removed almost a year ago and no longer have to shave armpits and the scars turned out great! I also don't seem to sweat there anymore...another bonus.

Maybe not the right post to ask about it, but for those who had upper arm surgery, what is the approximate cost? I know it depends on the doctor and where you live, but I’m getting to the point where I’m considering it..,

I had my arm lift along with a Tummy Tuck and breast lift/augmentation so can’t tell you what each cost separately. I paid $16,100 for all three procedures combined.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
