How may pounds of skin removed?

This is my first post on this forum. I asked a doctor recently how many pounds are "cut off" in post WLS plastic surgery. He said "not that much".  If you don't mind sharing.. how much weight did you lose from WLS, AND how many lbs of skin were removed?

Pre and post WLS total loss was about 130 pounds. I only had a TT and the grand total of skin removed (Dr said there was no fat) 1 pound......

Not much for me, but it feels amazing having it gone!

I had an extended tummy tuck and small hernia repair.   I had lost 120 lbs and PS took off 16 lbs of skin

Hey there Can I ask who your seurgeon was I am in VA too.  I am now starting to look into ps and I am looking for a surgeon.

Mitchell Krieger     He has written a book on WLS & Plastics.     He gets us.   Good luck and Keep in touch

Feel free to look at my pics and you can see that the skin alone dosn't really weigh that much, My skin removed only weighed 4.7 lbs but it looks like it should have weighed ALOT more to me...have a look but be warned...it's kinda yucky.

I've lost around 100 lbs. since WLS.  My PS told me he only removed about 2-3 lbs.

I had lost 170 pounds before my PS. The TT removed 5.5 pounds and 3/4 of a pound from each arm. So she removed 7 pounds of skin.

Can I ask who did your PS? I'm in NKy too! Thanks, Belinda

My bariatric surgeon recommended Dr. Jennifer Butterfield and I am so glad he did. She is in Cincinnati, OH (Kenwood). PM me if you want some more info.
