I don't like to talk about the first couple of days, I was in a pretty dark place. Since yesterday, though, the pain has become manageable and is improving dramatically. It was the same with my gastric sleeve, I didn't want to be alive those first couple of days.

Hey all! I'm 3.5 years out from gastric sleeve and I haven't stopped into these forums for a while.
I've been putting off plastics because my life is a blur time-wise, but I'm getting married in May and would like to reap the benefits of the brachioplasty for my wedding dress, since my arms are always my biggest point of insecurity. They've always been disproportionate, and even more so now that I lost the weight. I also wanted a tummy tuck and LBL, but we want to try for kids right away, so I'll deal with that down the road if ever.
Well, I pulled the trigger and did it!! Tuesday was my surgery down in Monterrey, Mexico for arms and legs.
It wasn't easy. I came by myself and I've had a lot of self doubt about doing this, feeling vain and selfish taking a risk that could possibly take me away from my fiance and family. I cried going into the OR. But, I'm on day 4 of recovery and every day is a little easier. I don't want to talk about Wednesday and Thursday, that was my lowest point. But, having the nurse come in and assist me with changing my bandages and showering, and finally unwrapping the results really gave me a mental boost.
All in all he took a little less than he had marked for my legs, a whole inch more than he'd marked for my arms, and a full 3 liters of fat from liposuction. I'm very pleased with the results. Feel free to look at the attached photos, ask questions, tell me your thoughts. Thanks BP fam!

Glad you're feeling better. I'm sure you'll be so happy with your decision when it's all said and done.

Wow! I cant wait to see the results after fully healed. I bet it will look amazing. Already tell the skin is so much tighter. How much pain are u in?
Congrats on your weightloss journey!!!

I have my arm lift in less than 3 weeks. I'm going to come up with some badass story about my scars. Scars don't bother me at all (better than saggy skin and stretch marks, imo), but I'm still going to tell people I escaped prison through barbed wire.
