I've lost 66 lbs so far, but my arms are gross! I work out at the gym, but this bit of ugly just doesn't want to go away. Suggestions, anyone?

The only way is the surgery for the arm

I'm getting saggy arm but it's not that bad yet.

The only way is surgery? I know I'm going to have flabby arms but I thought working them out would do the trick:(

Yes, my arms are flabby. I've lost 105 pounds so far

Working out will tone the underlying muscle and make the overall aesthetic a bit better. The skin will shrink a tad with time. BUT for the most part, once skin is stretched beyond the breaking point of its elasticity you are up a creek....think of a rubber band (or condom if that works better for you) you can stretch and stretch and stretch it, but once it's snapped, no matter how much you try, you can't put it back together. Those elastic fibers are broke.

This is so true it's like a balloon.

Just looked @ my arms and got sad. How do you know when ur arms are @ that point? What if the can be saved to shrink.

Nice explanation soccermoma73!!!

Do you know if priority health ever covers arm surgery if not how much would something like that cost?

I have no clue what something like that would cost, but I'm sure I'll find out in time. LOL

My mom calls them her bingo flags.

You have to actually picture an old lady yelling BINGO while waving her card in the air. LOL it cracked me up when she demonstrated for me.

Yeah...I guess you had to be there...

I love how she makes it sound as it's no big deal. I do and most likely will get mine done. Having big arms never-ever bother me but now that they are starting to sag it's getting to me. Of course I rather not be fat but I also rather not have saggy arms.

I've been hating my arms as far as I can remember! Now that they are starting to get loose I hate them more! In NYC, the price to get bracioplasty (I hope I spelled that right) is roughly $6000.-$8000. Bucks! I hope my insurance will cover it some how bucause I hate them so much that I may consider stealing some supplies from school/work and doing it myself at home!!! Lol
