flabby arms club- anyone haad surgery???

Just Banded · August 4, 2008

My upper arms make me appear heavier sue to the sagging skin from the weightloss.

Has anyone had this done- any regrets?

Is anyone considering this?

Anyone able to shrink it naturally through working out?

I know you get a scar from armpit to elbow... this is a major decision

sorry about the typo- don't know how to fix the title!

Hi: I have lost 73 lbs and have 45 to go for goal of 180. My weight has always settled on the arms and stomach. My arms have batwings you would never believe. I have to remain in a 26/28 size t shirt because no blouses or smaller ts will fit over these flabby arms.

I definately am considering PS and I don't give a hang about scars. There are remedies for scar tissue to be removed. I am told by my PS I must wait until within 10 lbs of goal weight more preferrably to reach goal and hold the weight for 1 year. I can't wait and the PS is one of the strongest motivators I have to lose weight.

Check through the comestic surgery section on the forum , you'll find a few people that had arm lifts.

ME TOO! I haven't even had my surgery yet (although I'm close..yay!) and I'm very worried about that. I already have "bat wings" and they run in my family... I think my grandma could flag a plane and she's a tiny little woman otherwise so I figured I'm doomed especially once I start losing weight.
