This is just a HELLO, as I've been lurking for a few weeks now. I have my tummy tuck and arms being done next week. I am 22, I am only one year post gastric bypass and have lost 150 lbs. Why surgery so soon? Well, my mom works for a plastic surgeon and they are giving me a steal of a deal for the surgery. I am down to 180 from 335. I'm nervous to tell my bariatric surgeon that I am doing this because I know they want you to maintain a weight for atleast a year but after really thinking this over I want the oppurtunity...who knows if my mom would still have this job or this "perk" to get me plastic surgery next year, so I'm going for it!! I'd love to see pictures and hear stories... has anyone had their tummy and arms done together? advice? expierence? I am not having the muscle tightening because I still want to have kids in the next few years and it would just stretch out. If he has time, he is going to go down my arms and remove some back fat, too!

Hi! I had LBL/Arms done last week. What can I tell you? I'm only two weeks out so I'd say bring lots of yoga pants and blousy button up shirts. Comfy undies. My arms have been easy easy so not too much to be concerned with there. I do use pillows to prop them up at night so my arms dont swell.
