What am I thinking?!

My brachioplasty is scheduled for 3/28/17. Now that it is so close the nerves are really starting to kick in. I have always had big arms and now that I am down 100+ lbs they really look awful. Here are some before pictures to show you what I mean. IMG_1783.JPGIMG_1782.JPG

Congrats on all of your weight loss and success with your first round of plastics!

Thank you so much! If I only had a choice of one procedure it would definitely be the brachioplasty. It's hard to disguise the loose skin on the arms. It has made a world of difference in my self esteem. I'm so glad I had it done.

Congrats on your weight loss and being halfway there! That is a great accomplishment.
