I have been wearing my quarter length sleeves that I worse during the winter. I know people think I'm crazy, but they'd rather think I'm crazy that see what is hiding underneath, I'm sure! Just curious, my left arm seems twice as bad as my right. Have any of you experienced this? The right arm will do pretty good, but the left has this roll of skin that just flaps over itself on the inside of my arm when the skin is hanging down. Ewwwwww......

We're gonna have to have dueling arms! I still say mine are worse, na-na-na-na-na.

If you are right handed, the muscles get used more and the arm is smaller. Mine are that way too. My left upper arm seems to be divided on the inner side into 2 sections. There's an actual crease. Section closest to my arm pit hangs down the worst. I have to have sleeves that go down past it or they ride up and get stuck in the crease - looks like it's cutting off circulaton, but just stuck in the crease - kinda like stuck in the butt crack!

I have to wear elbow length sleeves or longer, never shorter. The few times I've had short sleeve or tank top under a suit jacket or other top, and removed it due to severe hot flashin', I could see the stares and all the eyeballs go right to the awful hunk of hangin', flappin', swayin' flesh.

It's better than being 82 pounds heavier and unhealthy enough to die early. I will have them done, I'm hoping. At least they bother me enough to want them done. I don't think you can top my butt-crack arm! Hehehe.
