I had the gastric bypass in 2009. I lost 80lbs (yeah) but of course I had loose skin on my arms (bat wings). I worked out 5k runs, lifted weights and all but back of my arms looked like Popeyes's lol.. My tummy wasn't really bad but I had a cesarean and the Doc cut me horizontal instead of a bikini cut so it left me with a jacked up tummy. So after years of wishing I could correct these areas I finally decided to have the surgery. So worked my butt off saved my money an BAMM the rest is history (smile). I am so happen I did it ????well spent. Dr. Wright Jones is the MAN. He's a great doctor "artist" My incision on my tummy is great an my arms look so normal now. His incision placement was great.

Amazing, thank you for posting your pics and your post! What would you say was the most difficult part of your recovery?
January 26, 2017
I would say the most difficult part of recovery was not being able to comb my hair or put shirts on that have to be pulled over my head. As a whole I have to do everything in a modified manner.

You look great! I have a similar story and had an arm lift, breast lift/implants & a tummy tuck on 11/30. Every day your results will improve and you'll just love your new body. The outside will finally match the inside! I have to say the arms didn't hurt at all and my range of motion came back writhing a few days. Although, the liposuction is a whole different story...

OMG...I'm getting tummy tuck and arm lift at the end of this month and was wondering about the recovery Did you have help
February 3, 2017
The recovery wasn't bad. Since I had to stay in a hotel it was kind of get comfortable but it was manageable. If u don't have a recliner get yourself a lot of pillows. Yes yes you will need help for sure. I couldn't brush my teeth, wash my face oh sure couldn't wipe my self after using the restroom. Get you a few wife beater tee shirts

HiChklat1
My recovery has been good no major complaints. My arms are still healing and they do swell more at night. My tummy is basically healed but it to swells more at the end of the day. If you are planning to do both at the same time I would advise to do it. But have you a good team to help you for at least 2wks. To ensure you don't pop any stitches. Your arms will be the biggest challenge since you must use them
