I am a wife and mother of three. I have a thirteen year old daughter and a set of twins who are 7, a boy and a girl. In April of 2008 I had a Gastric Bypass surgery and lost around 100 pounds. It left my skins really loose a flabby. On February 9, 2012 I will be having my tummy tuck surgery with some lipo. I am also thinking about doing the brachioplasty(arm lift). I am very nervous but anxious, can't wait to get rid of all this skin and flab

It's getting closer to my date. Had my pre-op appointment today. Filled my prescription and went bought me a few items from Wal-Mart that my doctor suggest I get. I am soo excited and ready to do this. I also decided to along and do the brachioplasty. My total ended up being $11910.00 but I know it will be worth it in the end. My husband and I are renewing our vows after 8 years and having a really big wedding, I just can't wait to see how I will look on my big day!!!
Great review?

I lost 150 pounds and had brachioplasty before my wedding, 6 months was the proper time to heal it is so worth it!!!!!!

That's wonderful!!...It's been exactly 3 weeks since I had both of my procedures and I can see that my arms ate healing really fast and actually I see the scar is starting to fade already!! The only thing I hate is all the swelling in my tummy from the tummy tuck, I can't wait until the final result
