I had my arm surgery before losing all of my weight. I know that most people discourage doing this because of the possibility of requiring a revision in the future, but my arms were so bad they would have prevented me from enjoying the summer at the pool and beach. I believe it is a very individual thing and you really need to see your plastic surgeon to make the decision. It will depend upon how much skin vs. fat is left on your arms at this point and a surgeon is the best person to evaluate that.
I am very happy that I did my arms when I did and will be even happier as summer gets here. Dr. L is the best! He is incredibly skilled and caring in all that he does and I would recommend him to anyone!
Not at all! In May of 2010 I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I have lost 90 lbs so far and plan to lose the remaining 50 or so pounds in the next 6 months. I have absolutely no doubt that I will accomplish it. It is truly a life-changing wonderful experience and, I feel, the best of all weight loss surgeries. I eat very small amounts and don't have to worry about issues with vitamin deficiencies from malabsorption.
I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have, just let me know.
