  6. I started looking as soon as I hit the year post mark. take your time and consult with different surgeons before making your decision. Good luck!
  7. It sure is. Thank you! Congrats to you too. Don't get me wrong, I went out to eat and spent time outside but without using my arms or making sure no one bumped into me. I was in pain but not taking any pain meds.

  9. About four weeks ago I had my brachioplasty and liposuction of the love handles with Dr. Yager in NY. I love my results and my scar. I'm at my goal weight of 170lbs since Feb 2015. My arms were the most important thing for me to do. However, it is a painful and slow recovery. I took off two weeks from work and that still was not enough. I recommend anyone who is getting it done to take more time off and to have a lot of help because you are going to need it. Here is the picture I have with me so far... later on today I will post my scar pictures and before and after. Update: 5/13/15 I uploaded pictures of my before, the scars and also a picture of now 4 weeks post op. Hope this helps someone out there.

  18. Comparison when I started to current
  19. At this point I am losing an approximate of 6-8lbs a month. I eat 3x a day and 2 Snacks. I eat mostly Protein first then I eat the rest. I work out 3x a week with a personal trainer. I weight myself every 2-3 months therefore I don't really know when I'm stalling. Hope that helps honey!
