WORTH IT$13,000
I am scheduled for Abdominplasty w/ standard liposuction and bilateral Brachioplasty (arm lift). After losing over 150 pounds over the last 7 years following lap band surgery I am in desperate need of the skin removal surgery. I scheduled this surgery six months ago to align with my slow period at work and plan to take off almost two weeks following surgery. I will update following my pre-operational appointment and surgery.

You are looking fantastic! How are the arms feeling? I hear that is painful during recovery.

In my case, my arms didn't hurt as much as the tummy! If I had just had those done I could have went back to work in a few days!

My surgery went longer than the scheduled 6 hours because my dr said he's a "perfectionist". I went home a couple of hours after waking up and I've been surprised at the pain level. I was expecting much, much worse. I've kept up on my meds and the only terrible pain was due to a couple of coughs.
Today I unwrapped my arms and washed my compression shirt, tomorrow I will do my stomach and get some pictures. My doctor said they had removed around 14 pounds of extra skin on both the abdomen and arms. I have an appointment on Thursday, 12/17 to evaluate/remove the two drains on my stomach.
