Arms

I'm pre op, and I'm hoping to lose about 110-120lbs. I'm expecting to need/get a TT and breast lift, but wanted to know if there's any way I can avoid having to get my arms done. Any suggestions?

Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow. You don't "need" to get any plastics done... I have lost over 150 from my start weight (and more like 170 from my all time high) and yeah.. i have extra skin. i am very happy being fit and healthy - i do plan to get plastics, but I could live without it. For now, focus on getting your weight and health in shape and worry about plastics later.

And I am sorry, i have done weight lifting, boot camp type fitness and all sorts of things... my arms are toned and have some muscle, but i still have hanging skin. skin is not fixed by weight lifting. It is influenced by your age, how many times you have gained and lost weight, how much weight you lost and the genetics of your own skin elasticity.

I just did push ups and walked with weights....drank plenty of water and moisturized after baths. I have pictures of my arms in my gallery. I did require a tummy tuck...however I would have needed that because of my kids. I am also getting a breast lift with implants in two more weeks! Good luck to you! :)
