How much weight did you lose from skin removal after PS?

I was just wondering how much different people have lost due to skin removal now that they have had plastic surgery.
I feel like I would look pretty darn good if I didn't have this hanging stuff and it probaby would get me within a few pounds of my idea weight I am 6' and have a large frame and big barrel chest and work out. I want to be sexy... Is that bad? 
 So how much did you lose and are you happy with your decision to have PS?

My skin alone weighed 2 - 2.5 pounds.  My mother's weighed more because there was more fat attached to the back of hers (whereas they told me I hardly had any fat left). 

So I'm guessing by that it sort of depends?

I don't know how much I've lost yet or even IF I will have lost yet.

I weighed 129 lbs the morning of my surgery. 

I weighed 131.6 the day after my surgery.  But I had been drinking and eating that day AND I'm swollen still (so fluid retention has to be considered).

I lost 2 - 2.5 pounds of skin, and they liposuctioned out about 600 cc of fat BUT they added 480 cc to one breast via implant and 440 ccs to the other breast via implant. 

So who knows?

I think I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I know whether or not it made any difference with my actual weight.

It is NOT bad to want to be sexy.  Wanting to look desirable is natural I think. 

I'm still really recently post-op, but I think I'm going to be very happy that I had PS. 

Where did you have your done and I could be so bold how much did it cost you can PM me if you would like. Bard

I answered your other post about costs - between $9900 and $10,000.

I had mine done by Dr. Herrold in Hot Springs (http://www.arplasticsurgery.net/)

I absolutely LOVED him and his staff.  He literally makes you feel like you are the only patient he has.  I even have his and his nurse's personal cell phone numbers in case I have any questions or concerns. 

After using him, I don't think I'd ever let another PS touch me. 

My surgeon didn't actually weigh my skin. I didn't have a huge panni as compared to others. There are pictures on my profile. I had an anchor cut tummy tuck, a breast lift with implants as my first procedures. Second stage, I had an inner thigh lift and arm lift. I had liposuction done as well in both of those procedures. SInce starting my plastics I have lost an additional sixteen pounds.

I am thrilled with my results and I am VERY glad that I had it done.

I had an LBL and the surgeon removed 6.2 pounds.  I went on to lose about 12 pounds in total following the procedure.  Two years down the road now, I'm down about 19 pounds total since the procedure but the last bit of weight was due to more dieting and work at the gym.  I've heard of people here who have lost 20 pounds with an LBL. 

I love my TT. I lost 9 lbs during the TT and saw it immediately when I came home. Look at my pics if you want.

I didn't lose a pound.  I weighed 158 the morning of surgery and I've weighed every day since then and alternate between 156 and 158.  But my size 4 jeans I wore before surgery fit and are slightly lose even over the three layers of compression bottoms and top (that overlap on the tummy) and the binder on top of those.  So, hoping when swelling goes down even if I don't lose any weight, I'll lose some size.

Whatever weight in skin you lose with PS, it will look like a lot more when you look in the mirror and pull up your trousers !

When patients ask me about this I take the chance to voice my opinion on "the scale mentality."

Basically, the scale is not  the best determinant of how good you look and how well you are doing.  We are conditioned to that thought process, and sometimes even addicted to that mentality.  PS results are best judged by looking in the mirror and at your pics.

And even then, there are barriers to reacfhing that destination !

Best wishes,

My gut flap weighed 9.5 pounds-- contained very little fat.
