    I do not and I’m very happy with my results. I’m attaching two photos - one from the night before my surgery in November 2016 where you can see from the drawn lines what was being removed, and one I took just a moment ago in regular daylight. You can see from the recent photo that the surgeon went all the way down to the elbow; he also went all the way up through my armpit almost to my bra band. Hope this helps!

    Not only did I have "bat wings" I had the same thing on my forearm with a pocket of fat at the elbow. When he was marking me he showed me what would be left if he only went to the elbow...a lower arm smaller 'batwing." I told him I didn't care if he went to my wrist, I didn't want that left. So, I have an extended brachioplasty. The incision goes from my bra line, through my armpit all the way down past my elbow to midway to my wrist. I'll take a scar over hanging skin any day! I still have a lot of swelling (6 weeks post op tomorrow) but I love the shape of my arms!

    Yes, that's the biggest issue is people thinking I'm dying of something (I am a pretty pale person too so that probably doesn't help). That is very good to know thank you so very much. I may have been being a bit sensitive as well due to it being *that time of month* lol. I appreciate your reply! Sent from my Alcatel_5008R using BariatricPal mobile app

    At a year out this must have been as series of things that conspired to play gotcha. We're careful because we know the worst case is just this happens. I' can't say I have such a bad experience of things gutting stuck, but my worst cases involved leftover chicken. Good luck in your recovery, and take care. Tek

    Iron infusions

    I would do anything to avoid an injection. I guess I'm out of the loop as I thought an Iron infusion is an IV affair. At any rate, I avoid such thing as they leave me with a huge bruise. No thanks, if I can avoid it. Regular iron plugs me right up. Not a desirable result. My Doc recommends Slow-FE. Slow-FE is a time released iron, so gentle on the stomach and bowels, no constipation issues. In spite of the fact that Slow-FE is time released, it works well enough to keep my iron up. Good luck, Tek
