Hey all! I am getting banded in almost a month. I am a little nervous about wha tmy body will look like once the weight is gone. Primarily - I am worried about my arms! LOL! I know it seems trival with losing weight - but I would hate to lose this weight - FINALLY - and still have my arm jiggle. Has anyone noticed that their arms get smaller without needing plastic surgery? And if you have had plastic surgery - wpuld you recommend it?

My arms <spit> Lawdy my arms <spit> being fat they were large but I am SHOCKED at the condition they are in, at this rate I may get surgery on my arms before my tummy! I knew things would not be pretty as I dropped the weight but Lawdy mercy!

** Boo Boo you look great!

Thanks! :thumbup:

Laurinda--and of course, we live in FL where you can wear sleeveless almost all year round! With my arms, I may move to Minnesota!

(of course, on a good windy day, I just spread my arms and aim for where I want to travel. Lift off! I am saving so much $$ on gas!)

(To my Jewish sisters, my own sister calls them Hadassah Arms!)

I guess I better join a gym now!! My arms have been my biggest concern through this entire process ( I have already started saving for plastic surgery!) It does make me feel better to know though that weight training will help with some of it. Good luck everyone!

i know i have a long way to go, but i'm concerned about arms as well i went to a support group meeting awhile back and two ladies there had lost 105 & 175 lbs both had the most amazing bodies one was size 6 the other an 8...but arms...gosh, it was like arms are the sign that you've had surgery

I think everyone is going to have a different experience. I know mine will never look like Boo Boo's. Hers did not look bad even when she was heavy (heavier than I am now pre-op). My arms are going to look awful and the plastic surgery they do on them still leaves a long ugly mark. I guess we have to weigh all the options.

AWWWW thanks! I beg to differ with you that they weren't bad before, but I appreciate it!

I think with the RIGHT PS it could get better but I think you have to be very careful, believe me with all of my PS problems I am the last one to advocate surgery! lol...

Good luck to you all!
