I had VSG on 12/2/12. Weighed 307lbs day of surgery (highest weight was 326lbs Feb 2012) I am now around 185lbs (been stuck for MONTHS between 180-185) so I decided that 2 years out I want to have my bag wings removed.

I had an arm lift on 12/11/14 and so far I am doing great. Originally my surgeon said i would have a drain in each arm but luckily I didnt need any! I am moving around so much better than the first few days. NO PAIN at all but stiff and sore. Could hardly pull pants down to go pee! Now I am in the shower and doing my hair. Going slow still of course. No longer need to wear the arm garments he had me wear for the first 10-11 days. I can use them if I feel the need to - if I feel the swelling or stiffness after doing too much movement during the day. I have some type of surgical tape on the scars and in about 3 more weeks I will get them taken off. Overall I am so incredibly happy and cant wait until they are healed and not swollen anymore. 

The pictures are from 5 days post op.

Congratulations, you look great! I still have bat wings and everything needs to be pulled up LOL. Can't wait to get to goal and maybe eventually get some skin removed.

Looks great! And a nice straight incision too! I have seen some that are not as "clean."

Thank you! I was concerned about the incision because I also saw some that was not pretty but so far aside from the darkness they look great!
