Married and now with two kids I wanted arms that didn't swing when I wrote on the chalk board (teacher).
I was overweight my first 35 years and then got the lap band. I have kept over 100 pounds off for nine years and finally wanted nice arms. Nine years ago I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction so I knew about pain. I'm now 5 foot seven and 180 lbs ( size 14).

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

My doctor has given me silicone bandages to help with the scarring.

Looking good, are the silicone strips easy to deal with? I should be starting mine soon.

They are, but it is an odd angle. I have my husband put them on.

I could take care of myself immediately following surgery. Wearing a bra was not pleasant so I had some tanks w support that I shimmied on. My pain is fine during the day but by five pm in sore and cranky. Keep in mind that I'm dealing w two toddlers.

Your arms look really good, such a big difference when you look at your before and after pictures.
Good luck with the rest of your recovery.
