 |  **graphic pics**Before and AFTER Upper Area Lift
Ok, so I had my arms lifted as well as my boobs. I have a lot of stitches~~I chose not to get an implant (just me) and instead went with a fat transfer from the arm area to the boobs. I am slowly healing again, but not having any serious issues like with the TT last year. I have a fantastic doc now (with the same practice and he is the administrator) as my other surgeon left. He is unhappy with my TT and wants to revise it next year...we will see, I am tired of the pain for beauty thing I have going on~! LOLOLOL
I will tell you this much...the arm lift so far is the WORSTTTTTTTT pain wise! I had no pain on my TT other than my back hurting. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that I can see my "girls" and not have to LIFT them into a bra any longer!!
I am only about 3 weeks out, so there is still a lot of swelling going on!! I am very sore and in some pain, but still one of the best things I have done in a long growing list since RNY!!!!!
If you want to or can have this done for yourself...DO IT!!! It is amazing how happy you become when losing all of the weight and then becoming so sad because of the skin issues! I am happy with who I am and loving life thanks to the blessings that have been given to me!!
(((Thanks Gillie for thinkin about me and others as you so often do! xoxox))

Wow you look great! Your arms are so much smaller and he even got rid of your "side boobs". You are going to look so great in a tank top now, just in time for summer.
I'm recovering from an LBL 3 weeks ago, LOL we always seem to be doing our surgeries at the same time. I so understand what you mean about feeling sad about the skin issues. I'm happy to report that I feel much better about my looks now that I've had the LBL. Guess I'd better get my pics posted too.

Looks good. Once all the healing's done, it'll be great.
Congrats, hang in there for the healing (I don't post much on fb, but I do follow you).

You guys are awesome! Thanks!!
Barb, the side boobs were my WORST enemy!!! I never wanted to see anything go as much as those!! LOLOLOL
LOL Judi...I agree with ya...my surgeon is AWESOME!!!
Thanks Doc, it seems like it is taking forever...even though 3 weeks is far from forever! I still can not get a glass out of the cabinet for myself~ughhhhh~ I am such and independant person too!
Love ya right back there Bree!! You wanna get on the subject of Brave?? Look in the mirror hun!!!!! I was so excited when the surgeon told me that he was doing the fat transfer and though that it would be a good choice for me since I had lost soooo much volume! I really did not want implants!
Aweeeee, thanks Kate!! OMG, that made me feel GREAT!!!! I wish I was getting younger and younger! LOLOLOL You have done a great job on the loss as well...look at how close you are to goal and where you were! GOOD JOB! I never made it to my personal goal....but oh well, I closer than I ever was!!!
