The bat wings from my weight loss are annoying but I've always believed there was nothing I could do to tighten them up other than plastic surgery. Has anyone been successful in having less saggy arms with exercise?

So I got brand new running shoes- Saucony. They are not tight at all- I wear an 11 shoe- but order a 12 sneaker because I want a roomy toe box. (My previous pair were a size 12 saucony-- no issue with them.)
I've done 1 treadmill run in them- no issue. My 1st outdoor run in them earned me a blister on the bottom of my fourth toe. For today's run I figured I'd put a bandaid on it-- But somehow I managed to bandage the wrong toe. Ugg. So it a bit bigger today.
Ive never dealt with blisters- what's best in care for them? I won't run again till Saturday to give it a rest.

I love Bikram Yoga! I'm not quite 3 weeks post-op and haven't been cleared for it until 4 weeks. For now, I'm working on determining how to get enough fluids so I don't get dehydrated as I will need to be extra vigilant about hydration once I'm back in the hot studio. 
I would go to a sports medicine place to get a gait analysis.
"Abnormal gait patterns and muscle imbalances can lead to foot, knee, hip or back disorders and poor sport performance."
After years of being morbidly obese our center of gravity shifts and we have to learn how to move properly.

"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears."
My opinion is to go to the doctor immediately and make a test for it. Good luck!
I would also like to begin some sort of an exercise program. Exactly what at this point is the question, as in two weeks I will be having Tummy Tuck surgery and anything I start now will have to be put on some kind of hold.
I have to start being accountable to something and to someone (myself). If nothing else, for the next two weeks I should start walking at least? Saw a new Weight Loss physician today - my DS was done where I formerly lived - and she really wants to get me back on the right track of doing everything right. My eating habits have gone way down, and my exercise is non existent. This needs to change.
