Finally Getting Rid of my Bingo Wings

My arms are still doing fine with only a tiny twinge in the right arm pit now and again. I have got a new compression garment which is really good as it has a bra in it and sleeves come further down past my elbows, so more comfortable. Last night I went out socialising for the first time since surgery and it felt fantastic having slimmer arms. They were covered but looked slimmer and tidier just what I have always wanted. I even did some dancing :) Got some lovely compliments too. For anyone who is miserable with their arms as I was I would say "go for it". My arms really bothered me so much and I dressed always to keep them hidden. It will be brilliant to be able to have bare shoulders and arms in the summer time and not worry about people looking at them. I can now sleep on my side and doing stuff around our home. So far it really has been a trouble free surgery.

I cannot believe it is nearly 3 weeks since having my arm lift done. It really has been painless and so far not much discomfort. I went to have the tape changed at the clinic last Friday and the nurse was pleased with the scars. There was just a tiny sore in the right arm pit, which she dressed and said it would be gone in a week or so. I can do some things around the house now, no heavy stuff or lifting or stretching, which is good. I try and keep my arms elevated as much as possible and sleep in my nest of pillows :). This must have helped as I have had no swelling so far. I will put some pictures on later in the week of my arms without compression garment on. I cannot put into words how happy I am about having this surgery. For so many years I have had to hide my arms like a lot of women. I cannot wait for the summer when I can wear sleeveless clothes yay!!!!. It is a dream come true. I hated my bat wings so much. When I was at my Zumba classes or in the gym or playing badminton they always embarrassed me so much. And when going out in the evening I would always wear three quarter sleeves to hide them. I don't even mind the scars as they are so small and it is just a sign of how much weight I have lost :). I hope all you ladies are healing well and looking forward to the summer months to show off your lovely arms.

Went to see surgeon today and he is pleased with my arms. The top of scar is a little red, and some swelling near elbows with a tiny bit of oozing. Nurse re-dressed everything and I have to go back again next Friday. Got to see my arms for the first time today and love them :) No bat wings yay :)
