My brief story: I lost about 50 lbs, slowly and steadily, 5 years ago. There was really no explanation for it. I had a lot of tests done but nothing conclusive.

I had an arm lift done at the same time as my extended tummy tuck. I would recommend against doing more than one procedure at a time. It was just too much for my body. I needed my arms in order to compensate for my tummy, but couldn't use them. I didn't get a vertical scar in my armpit--which is... Read more

I had weight loss surgery and am pretty happy with the results but have always been so unhappy with how big my upper arms were. I was unable even after the weight loss to wear anything that wasn't cotton or stretchy on my upper arms, never a normal blouse or shirt. I just wanted to be able to... Read more
