Okay weird question, with your weightloss has the arm jiggle subsided?

I've always battled the ever embarrassing arm jiggle, the kind that if you waved too hard may knock yourself out or an innocent bystander. I'm concerned that with the weightloss and working out ill still have his issue.

Mine is not pretty and getting worse as I drop more weight.

But if that is the price to pay, I'm good with it.

I have read a lot of people using wraps for the arms, and some of the pictures look compelling. I will probably try some. Also, there is always surgery at the end if they are really bad! I read that if you do any amount of exercise it should help, also I've read lotion and wearing compression garments to bed. Many people say the skin tightens a lot as time goes by, that's why they recommend 2 years after WLS before getting any plastics. There seems to be lots of difference of results also depending on age, skin texture etc also. If any of you find a miracle cure, I want in on it though!! ;)

Arm jiggle got worse for me as the pounds dropped off. But I'm old and never had very elastic skin. You may fare better.

I'm not holding out much hope that my arms will shape up after losing weight. They are terrible now as it is, lots of stretch marks in the skin, no matter how hard I work out. Plus the women on both sides of my family have "bat wings" so I fear I'm doomed to keep them. I've been researching surgery.....

My arms are firming up with exercise but I know I will always have my "bat wings". I hope to just make them less noticeable because the attention will be drawn to my otherwise awesome arms and shoulders. Welcome to the gun show! LOL

I'm not holding out a lot of hope for my arms, they've always been huge and saggy. Think my insurance would consider an arm reconstruction medically necessary if the sound of the flab flapping around hurts my ears?

Freaking out about my arms as they were really big before - my most hated part! I always looked bigger than other ppl even if they were similar size because my arms were big...

I know they'll never be perfect, was looking at a pic from when I was 18 and skinnier and they were still big for my size :-/

Might have to try the compression bandages, I've been using bio-oil too to add moisture in hope they'll just pop in lol they are getting a great droop on atm

My arms are jiggly but I've got great muscle tone so I think there is hope yet. I am 11 months out, 117 pounds down.

I do 2 days low weight, high rep. 1 day high weight low rep. It has helped a TON. Sure they are still jiggly how could they not be? But I would look much worse without the exercise!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
