37 Years Old, 100 Pounds Lost, Looking to Make my Arms into Arms Instead of Thighs - Huntsville, AL

Five weeks out today. My arms have almost entirely closed up. There's still a bigger section on my right arm that is closing up after the stitches got removed. I'm down to just one small bandage over that under my compression sleeves. Hoping to start scar treatment soon.

Arms are feeling much better after removing the stitches. Taking less pain meds and almost out of the antibiotics. It's looks worse than it is. If not for the bandaging and sleeves leaving marks it would look a lot better. I have a week and a half left of the compression garments and then it will be a lot more comfortable. Hoping that I'll be healed up enough to get in my aunt's pool at the end of the month. Also hoping to wear the bikinis I ordered this summer and didn't have the nerve to wear yet.

So I wanted to mention the compression garments my ps recommended for my arms. They send you home wrapped in ace bandages but they said that Marena arm garments were great and would help the end result. They aren't cheap but they're a lot easier to put on, more comfortable and hopefully will have better results. Here's a few pics. They're like a shrug.
