If you had to choose...

Consider they are both equally troubling to you, would you do your arms or your inner thighs and why would you make the choice you've stated.

Apparently I've bumped my head and am actually contemplating subjecting myself to more surgery outside of the revisions I'm going to have. I'm sure reality will hit me here soon and I'll remember the difficulties I've had with this recovery. And the drains--ho those damn drains. Okay, forget what I said--I just changed my mind! LOL!

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions!

I'm gona do my arm's. My inner thighs aren't that bad but my arms are crazy bat wings. There are ways of covering up your thighs with tights an knee length dress an cover ups but your arms are much harder to hide. That what I'm gona do but guess it depends on what one is worse or harder for you to hide.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

Hands down, my arms. They are to the point where I can't even really wear a regular short sleeve shirt, I need to do a 3/4's sleeve just to keep the bat wings hidden.

Definitely arms. It was the first thing I had done because you cannot hide arms. Even in 3/4 length sleeves, they looked bad. I love wearing sleeveless shirts. Now half my closet is filled with sleeveless shirts. 200 pounds ago I would never have imagined that would be the case!!

My legs are horrible, too, but in clothes they look fine. No one sees them except my boyfriend and he loves me as is and does not want me to get any more surgeries. He's pretty adamant about that.

I love my new arms! I can't believe the difference it has made. That being said, I haven't had any lower body work done yet.

Definately my arms. I'm planning to get them done in the spring. Legs are bad, too, but passable with clothes on. I can't wait to wear short sleeves or maybe even go sleeveless again!

Hi Denise!

I'm seeing my PS on 2-8-12 and I cannot believe it but I'm thinking of getting my arms done! He swears the recovery is muc h easier and that I should be able to return to work after just a long weekend (I have a desk job). I must be crazy but I cannot stop wishing they were done. I SWORE if I could just get rid of that awful apron from my stomach I would be perfectly happy with myself (ha!)

Wow. No way in hell I could have returned to work after a long weekend. After 10 days I was ready to go. Driving would have been impossible any sooner. Any movement of your arms up and down, even little bits is hard at first.

Definitely arms!! I actually just had my arms done an am having a mini inner thigh lift in June, but if I could have only had one it would have been the arms. The only time my inner thighs show is in a bathing suit or in short shorts. I love being able to wear short sleeves or sleeveless now!! It is great!
