Thanks for the pics. I wasn't prepared for the serious bruises but I'm glad I saw. I'm having a circumferential abdominoplasty and breast reduction in a few months and I needed to see what I'm getting into.

Joanie, thank you so much for the pictures. You and your PS did a wonderful job. I love your new haircut, too.

Mimi

Thanks, and I really like this haircut too. I'm gonna get better pics of it so I can show the girl who cuts my hair so she can do it the same way again.

Yea, it got ugly for a while, but the bruising is gone after the first couple of weeks. I wasn't expecting so much of it though. I am very happy with the results. I will post more pics as the scars heal up even more. Good luck on your surgery and I hope everything turns out to your liking. :confused:

Joanie :w00t:)

Okay, here are the arm pics....3 days after and 4 weeks after. I also threw in one so you could see that you can't see the scar and, more importantly, the flab.....is gone! :thumbup:

Wowzer! I am so glad you posted those pics of your arms. I am getting mine done June 22 along with my face. Would you post some updated pics of arms and some before if you have them? My arms are horrible and it is hard to believe yours were as bad, cause they look so good. I am afraid mine will not look good because i have so much loose skin below my elbow. Anyhow congrats, you look beautiful.

Thanx for the compliment and I'm sure yours will look just as good. I will be posting more recent pics soon...I've been busy lately, we just went to visit my sister in Pa. and then we all went to England. Got back 2 days ago and now my husbands daughter and her family are visiting from Michigan. Whew! I will be able to relax after monday. :thumbup: I am extremely happy with all my surguries. I'll be back with more pics. later, Joanie

Wow! You look amazing. I cringed when I saw the bruising on the arms though. That must have hurt like hell! You must be very proud.

Some of you have asked me about how bad my arms looked before and how they are looking now that it's been 3mos out. I'm posting some now pics and looking for a pic of my arms before...My surgeon will be giving me a disc with all my before and after pics, but not till it's been at least 6mos. Makes sense, huh? Haha!!! :smile:

Thanx everyone for all the nice comments. Joanie :smile:)

Thanks for posting those pictures, boy i hope mine look as good. I am really concerned because I have so much skin below my elbows, I am afraid mine will continue to hang there or be twisted or something. The surgeon said not, that i will be pleased. I sure do hope so. I am really proud for you.

      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.
