Weight loss or gain after tummy tuck...
Re-read your post when I was less tired =) Wanted to add my friend (30 yrs old) had a tummy tuck , got pregnant within 3 months having surgery, gained 37 lbs during pregnancy, and lost 27 of it after..she has no loose skin or stretch marks on her new tummy. She was shocked. Her surgeon almost cried.
I lost another 14 pounds, 6 of which was the skin removed. I really had no appetite during the first 4-5 weeks after the LBL. I still don't eat very much. Within 1-3 hourse after I eat, I often get really tight in the abdomen and it is pretty painful. I think this is one of the reasons I don't want to eat much. BUT, a friend who had a TT said she had that same feeling but that it gets better.
Good luck!

Yeah! I thought it was pretty bizarre! When I returned from Mexico after 13 days, I had lost 22 lbs. I was the most swollen I had ever been and had flown for the last 14 hours. (we had an very long layover in Dallas) -- anyway, I weighed when I returned and was shocked. I've been losing pretty steady ever since. I wrote Dr. S because I thought maybe he took more off than he had told me -- and he checked and said, "no, it must be you!"
It's helping me get those last pounds off so that I can get to goal and return to Mexico for the rest of my procedures!
