Yeah, the batwings are flapping! But I found (at a concert last night) that if I hold my arms straight up, the extra flab sorta hangs together with the rest of my arm... Lol! I spent the night with one arm down and the other one straight up doing a peace sign or a RJD rock on sign (devil horns). Had a blast! Someday I'm gonna have to flap on over to the surgeon, but for now I've got a temporary solution!

yep, I gotta be real careful if I do " the Wave" at a sporting event that I don't slap somebody in the face with my batwings. I think if I jumped out of a tree I could glide!! Oh well, I live in a cool climate and never wear tank tops and long sleeves a lot.  But isn't it fun to have some weight off and be able to do fun stuff!! nobody notices the bat wings anyway.   Diane

OMG..my batwings..let's not even go there..   I feel ya!  The one thing that bothers me most is my batwings.  I cannot wait to get them taken care of.  I would love to feel comfortable in tank tops and sleeveless dresses...*sigh*

I had consults with 2 different plastic surgeons and think I'm going to schedule the surgery in late August or early Sept.  My arms bother me more than anything else.  They. Are. Horrible.  I believe I could take flight in a strong wind. 

The shar-pei legs are nasty too, but I can cover them.  I could go down a size in pants if I got my stomach done, but not sure a smaller size would be worth $5,000.  *sigh* 

We got what we wanted...smaller bodies.  But egads, the bat wings are enough to make batman and robin jealous!

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.

I know I have it all too.   If money grew on trees I'd have it all done.  I was quoted $7,000 for the tummy tuck.  Guess I should shop it a little more.  How much to have the wings removed?

My arms are going to be $5,000...total including surgeon, anesthesia, hospital.  The only thing I'll have to pay out of pocket is pain meds.

I just spent two weeks in Spain where it was over 100 degrees during the second week.  The day it hit 105.6 we walked 15.5 miles and how I wished that I felt like I could wear a tank top without scaring little children.  I'll be so happy to get my arms "taken care of" one day!

Not only does no one notice, but people always complement me on my "triceps". Um, they are batwings!
