WLS = Weight Loss Surgery

Not for me, no. I had no trouble using the bathroom. The only thing I needed help with was getting shirts on and off (even button-up ones) for the first few days, and tying my hair up. I don't know if you are getting any lipo with your arm lift, that will also affect how much pain you have. I had no lipo, so mine wasn't very painful at all. But I've heard from others that when the lipo is added it is much more painful and there is a lot more swelling.

Thank you! I had weight loss surgery, a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I have to work very hard to keep the weight off by watching my food and doing a ton of bike riding. Not easy but it has been completely worth it.

Congrats, I think you'll be very happy! It has been such a painless recovery, and I am already very happy. I don't regret it for a second. Yes, I have the scar which will take some getting used to. But before I never would have worn a sleeveless top anyway because the bat-wings were just as bad (worse, because sleeves fit poorly and you could tell my arms were flabby). I have worn a t-shirt since the tape came off, and didn't really raise my arms up at all so nobody noticed. Once the incisions smooth out (still kind of jagged looking in places) I will definitely wear sleeveless tops. Again, probably won't be waving my arms around in the air, that'll take some time. But I'm sure that once I feel comfortable with the scars I'll have no issues.

Thank you so much! I had my procedure done in sept 2011 so I'm about 9 months post-op.
