cat lady I like your batwings analogy
maybe I'll think of them as a nicer wing like bird or angel ....
I also have some small thigh wings and a belly wing
but like you, it is a minimal issue compared to the extra weight.
ecdcslim my physical therapist did mention that if after a year I wanted to consider some kind of surgery - for me it would likely be abdominal perhaps as there is some skin there that likely won't tighten all the way (we'll see) - that I do several consultations, and make sure that the surgeon is using the best current cutting procedure, which is to stitch and sew individual skin layers, rather than one big incision/scar. I hadn't heard of that before so didn't ask many more questions, but he said for example with abdominal there might be 4 layers.
He said the other thing a lot of people don't consider is that when you cut into skin and tighten it, it has an effect on the whole body and skin/muscular structure, as all of it is being tightened toward the scar.
He said just weigh those effects against whatever health discomforts the extra skin might cause, and see what I think over time.
So I like that, and I have a year to sit with it before I need to worry much more about it.
All of these skin etc. "recommendations" and good ideas from people and around the internet are probably not really so researched... so who knows... but another suggestion he had was to do dry brushing in those areas 5 minutes a day, as that brings circulation to the skin and helps with healing and re-producing collagen. Again, I have no facts to back this up other than he is well known in his field and self-educates himself ongoingly from medical literature.
