You look wonderful! Congrats on your loss! I have decided against the bat wing removal because of the scarring. Plus, you never know I may learn to fly!

The hair will come back, your not bald chicken! Your too hard on yourself.

As far as the bat wing surgery, the incision depends on the amount of skin you have and how far it sags. If it sags to the elbow then you will have to have the long incision. Dr Katzen my plastic surgeon states, the longer the incision the better the results!

Your best bet would be to go to plastic surgery websites and take a look at before and after pics.

Yup, you have been away for a long time. We have support group tomorrow-can ya make it? Its at a new location! Good to see ya Paulina, BTW HAppy belated Birthday. Did you do anything cool?

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
