under arm flab

Thank you for the insight!  I just wish I would look like a rockstar like that one lady's pics I saw! lol.  I am 25 but always get told I look younger.. hope to stay that way haha!  I don't expect my bat wings to go completely away but  was hoping to not "fly to Paris" as it was put, lol!  I use lotion all over about 4 times a day to keep my skin fairly moisturized and been trying to up my fluids more on top of working out.  Maybe I will get lucky, maybe I won't.  Only time will tell!  I am getting married in Sept and the dress I am in love with is a strapless  so I want to be able to wear it and look amazing without a bunch of flab.. but who knows, I may have to change my mind later on! haha!  Anyhow, thanks for letting me babble on and thank you for the replies!  I love you all! :)

 My bat wings are being surgically removed.  Had consult Friday and need medical clearance and date set.  At 61 - even though I hydrate 120+ oz per day- the bat wings won't respond to anything but the "knife".

I have lost 50 pds with about 140 to go.  I had bat wings before I had surgery and now I have double bat wings.  My problem is doubly compounded by the fact I have problems with my shoulders and in fact cannot lift my right arm above my waste.  It sucks - I hate it, but I won't be able to afford the plastic surgery so I will justhave to be creative with clothes.  I will never be someone who can wear sleeveless.

My belly will hang for sure - I hold out some hope that insurance may cover it when the time is right.

As to my legs and such - when I lost before they weren't too bad but I was exercising a lot.  So hoping once that gets to be a regular things again they will look passable.

It's hte downside of this positive journey we are on.  I think we should all go together and design a clothing line for those who are post WLS!!!

What is thoughts on ace bandage these best friends of ours? has anyone tried it.. I am seriously considering it.. there is no spanx for bat wings..LOL.. homemade will be option... some clothed cling and would be nice to strap them in like the girls on our chest.. LOL.. I may take a pic and post it I wind up going doing this.. had my wings preop and they love me more now.. I get the applause when exercising.. .. surgery is 6k.. 2 yrs Im sure I can take income take an put down payment on them.. or get small loan from bank.. waiting to hear from burn unit for donation I was told about, but might be a closed program not open to public.. will see..and I will share the info.. was told free removal if accepted.... I think if this was open to all , they would not be low of skin for years with all of us..LOL
