Brachioplasty with pictures
Post-op pain not an issue. Just the healing discomfort now, but not enough to take something for it. I hope you are as happy with yours as I am mine!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.

Awesome. Thanks for posting.
Phase 2...breasts and arms for me in December.
I love to see Before and Afters!
My Before looks a little bit worse than yours.
I'm gonna light a candle that my After looks even close to yours!!

My DS 
Great results. My brachio went really well. I did have some opening in the arm pits. I wore ACE bandages for 6 weeks and slept with arms elevated.
I have before and after pics. Click on my name or avitar picture and look at before and after. There are pics of my fleur de lis TT too. Our arms look pretty similar before and after.
Just be careful lifting and reaching. Best wishes.

Wanda, your arms look great you must be real happy with the results so far. Funny we have something incommon we have the same surgeon. I live here in nebraska I hope my TT & Gynecomastia turn out half as good as your arms once the swelling goes down.
I see you had the sleeve done too & lost 100 lbs good job. In my bariatric group there are alot of women getting the sleeve done here and losing 100+ pounds, this last year or so and it's gaining ground as a great alternative to the gastric bypass. I had my sleeve 2.5 years and lost 270 lbs so I'm pretty happy with the results.
It's a small world after all,

Hey Bubba. I actually looked into your surgeon when I was looking to privately pay for the sleeve. Found Dr. Hoehn in Kansas City because he was cheaper, but came with very high credentials. I live 2 hours from KC, 2 hours from Des Moines and 2 hours from Omaha, so no big deal to take off for a day trip to the city for some serious shopping. A little harder to get to Omaha now with I-29 flooded to the south; just takes me a little longer to get there since I have to get on at Glenwood now instead of Hwy 2 near Hamburg. I attend support group in Des Moines and am seeing that the sleeve is now outnumbering gastric bypass and lapband. That's quite a change from when I started the process in 2009. It was more band than anything then. I am seeing fewer and fewer bandsters due to the mechanical failure and aftercare required with it.
My referral to Dr. Montag came with high regards for her skills. I couldn't be happier with the results.
