HipsAndLipstick

Congrats!! no, no drainage tubes for the brachio! best thing ever!! good luck on your procedures. post pictures when you can! Cant wait to see it.

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!

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.

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.

I am currently at 172lbs and I am 5'8". In this picture I was 178 which was a month ago. My doctor set a goal at 170.. Im two pounds away!

Omg thank you so much! Inspirational!

Awesome! What procedures did you get with Dr Capella and how much it cost? How are your scars? how was your recovery?

Thank you guys !

any plastic surgeon in NY that you will recommend? I would appreciate it!!

Comparison when I started to current

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!

thank you!

I don't like labels. I don't like to be called skinny or curvy or all that.

Mines are regular now thank god and normal flow. I used to have heavy periods. Im glad that is over.

I had the same problem looking for before and after of people with big legs. I found some on ig but here is my before and during... because I still have more to lose. I workout with a trainer 3x a week. I went from a 24 to a 16 in jeans. im aiming for a 10. Im a medium in shirts and a Large in dresses.
