HOME! Arm Lift in the bag.
Yay! I'm at home now after arm lift this morning. Nestled in comfy chair- propped up with pillows-thank you for pain meds, but not too uncomfortable, swaddled in a binder. So far, not too much swelling. Hydrating and with trusty companion and love, the amazing Kurt-Bear waiting on me hand and foot- what a hubby! Can't tell 'bout the stitches-covered with tape'nbinder. My hands are a little swollen, but nothing like I imagined it would be- I didn't have any lipo- no fat to take off, but he took the skin removal down through part of my upper flank below the pits. Stats so far-- Before surgery arms measured 14" after (so far) 9" Whoo hoo. Feeling relieved and grateful. Let the healing begin.. Bonnie

Congratulations! You are going to look so hot this summer.
I saw the PS today and got the last couple stitches out from my face lift. Looks like the bleed is going to leave me with a not as nice result but, at least some better than before. I also talked to him about my inner thighs and saddle bags. Looks like just the inner thighs will be done and hoping to get the insurance to pay as the flop and rub when I walk.
Have you talked to more than one PS. I have found they all do things different.
BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
