12 days post TT and 12.2 pounds down!
I'm 57 and 5'6'' and weighed 208 when I went in for my TT.
My WLS doctor's final goal for me was "stay below 200 pounds".
My current weight is now 196.3 pounds.
On 1/18/10 I had 10.8 pounds of excess skin removed with my extended TT.
As of today, I have lost the following amount of inches from my body.
Waist = 3 inches down
Hips = 4 inches
Bust = unchanged
I have virtually no swelling at this point and just had my last drain removed yesterday. THANK GOD! Yes, there was some discomfort, but it was worth it!

Congratulations on the weight and inches you've lost!!! I'm jealous - I weighed this morning and I still weigh EXACTLY the same as I did when I weighed myself in the morning before I went to the hospital for my tummy tuck surgery!! I have lost inches, though, because my jeans are too big - but I was hoping to lose a few pounds at least!!
Highest 323 / Surgery Day 289 / Current 165 - RNY 10-27-07, Hit Goal 08-18-08. Tummy tuck 10-28-09 - UW Plastic Surgery Residency Ctr, Breast/Arm Lift w/Dr. Sepehr Egrari in Bellevue, WA on 5-22-13!
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. Unknown
Hi Lizzybear,
I truly can't figure it out either! I am wearing the same jeans I wore before surgery, but with the binder on. So I guess I had a loss of size, but haven't gone out yet to try on new jeans, no less without the binder.
Obviously this is up to each person's body how they react to their surgery. Congratulations on your progress!

Congratulations! WOW - no swelling - lucky you!
I am at my pre-op weight, but the swelling is hell and I'm wearing size 10's instead of the size 4's I was pre-op. Still have a drain too (but only 10 days out). I know it will get better though!
