I'm doing great and feel really good.  The recovery was not as bad as I through it would be.  My hubby was really great about making sure I took my pain meds every 4 hours; he set his alarm to get me up during the night.  I was sleeping in my recliner and could not get out of it by myself.  After about 8 nights I moved to the bed. 

I want to have the girls fixed next but my thighs are still pretty loose and large compared to the rest of me.  Gotta get this one paid for first though.

Take care, Alice

I lost 16 lbs of skin from a extended tummy tuck......   It all depends on the hanging skin.

it all depends on the hanging sin, if it is just loose skin you won't loose to much cause skin doesn't weigh that much if there is fat attached to it then  you will loose I had more fat then just llose skin and I lost a total of 8 lbs w/TT and * lbs w/thigh & butt & back lift. for a total of 16 lbs for 2 surgeries, check out y belly pic for TT and you will see what I ean

It will depend on how much you've lost and how much skin you have.  It's SOOO individualized, none of our responses will mean much to you individually.

I lost about 2 - 2.5 pounds of skin. 

I noticed that your BMI already shows you well within "normal"... is it really realistic and/or even healthy for you to lose 14 more pounds?  Just curious.  I got down to 121 pounds (and I'm 5'5 and 35 years old) and I looked emaciated.  I'm not saying you would.  But that's REALLY small.
