How much did your removed skin weigh...??

I know I will have to have my extra skin removed...My set goal is 160 and I am 5'8...I'm a fairly large boned gal...So, I was thinking, my extra loose skin is going to weigh around 10 to 12 pounds...??

Trying to see if I may need to adjust my goal weight to accommodate the pounds lost after plastics...I know I need to wait at least a year, before having plastics after I lose the weight...

Thanks, for your response, in advance...

I have lost a little over 100 pounds.  I had anchor cut tummy tuck and medial thigh lift.  Dr. Sauceda told me that skin is very light and he only removed about 3 lbs.

I had lost 92 pounds before surgery and they took 6 pounds of skin and 2 liters of fat. IT's different for everyone. I am 5'4. All my excess was in my tummy so I went from a 12 to an 8,.

I lost about 200lbs by the time I had my TT and Brachioplasty.  He took off 13lbs total.  I thought it would be much more but it wasn't.  Everyone is right, skin really doesn't weigh that much.

12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.

Boy was I disappointed when Dr. S told me my skin removal was about 3 lbs.  . .   I had anchor cut TT, medial thigh, and arms . . . and only 3 freaking pounds . . .  gee, the breast implants must have weighed that much because I weighed exactly same pre and post.
 

104 lbs lost now Maintenance BABY!!!!
