This one side effect I was most afraid of!! Some call them "Grandma arm," some call them "Bye, bye arm." I have compared myself to a flying squirrel or a bat because, baby... I have grown wings! I have never had the most toned arms but they have been solid. Now, they are just hanging and blowing in the wind! I love the my weight loss journey so far but I am not loving my arms and thighs right now. HELP!!! Somebody fix it. [emoji17]

I also had bat wings and someone called me a "flying squirrel" in college. The only resolution is a brachioplasty. I was hesitant about the trade-off between the scar and the wings, but I'm glad I chose the scar. I still feel fairly ashamed to wear short sleeves in public since the scar is a pretty clear indication of what surgery I had, but make-up helps and the scar is still new, so it will fade. Ultimately, no matter how much I toned or worked out, I still had a TON of skin.

Let me see if I can figure out how to add a picture to show you what I mean...
