Getting Rid of my Wings - Austin, TX

I have been wanting to get this surgery done for a long, long, long time. I am terrified of getting a botched plastic surgery job and lord knows I've been hiding my arms for years for obvious reasons and my worst fear is to get it done and then hide them for different reasons: botched job, even uglier scars than the flappy wings I've got. I have lost as of today 131 lbs and have 24 to go to get to the "chart weight". Even if I only lost 15 lbs I'd consider it a success. Its 10 years in the making but Ive maintained over 110+ lost for those years and in the past 3 months I've lost the rest. I am engaged and I am starting to plan my wedding and everybody knows those pictures are forever and I refuse to get married without getting my arms done first or I KNOW I wont enjoy that day because the entire time I will be worried how much my arms are showing, what do my arms look like in this pic or that pose, etc. I'd love to get my thighs done so I can wear shorts but let's face it I'm not made of money. I didn't get gastric bypass or lapban, I lost it the old fashioned way, otherwise I'd be done by now. I wish I could get the full body lift but after seeing pics I'm absolutely terrified, that and I don't have kids. Hoping I can lose 20 lbs more and get this arm surgery, and maybe even make it to one of those "half her size" People magazine annual issues!! For those on here, let me know what was the best part of the surgery, what was the worst, what did you do if you felt the outcome was not what you anticipated?

The part of my arm that I want is the upper arms, but its not all the way to my elbow, its a little less than 3/4 from arm pit to elbow, a perfect little area they can just lop off. Looks easy enough. . . LOL. but is it?

On my way to San Antonio to get my consultation. Not sure the costs involved but that's what this day is for, right? I'll admit I am a little nervous. . .lord help me the day I get the surgery whoever that may be with. any last min. words of advice or suggestions of things to ask are welcome!

I finally did it. i booked the surgery. They told me if I scheduled it within 30 days of my consulatation they would knock off $800. So I booked it, however when I did so the deposit was based off the original number. So, I expect that the $800 will be taken off when I pay in full during the pre-op appointment/meeting. It will be in December in between semesters. I'm starting Nursing school this Monday and I'll have my preop 2 days before Thanksgiving and the surgery the day after my final. No time for funsies here!!
