Worried about weight

I am so very worried that when I go for my pre-surgery weigh in, They are going to tell me I am too heavy again for my plastics. I want to cry!! Everyone I ask says I look about 150-155 lbs, but in actuality I weigh 170. My trainer at the Y says that's good, because it means I have more lean muscle mass, and that muscle weighs more than fat.  I DO NOT want to gain again. I cannot handle getting fat again, no offense to anyone. I like the new me, and assume I will like me more after my anchor cut panniculectomy, and thigh lift (if the thigh lift is approved).  I am hoping the anchor cut takes away or atleast smooths out the back rolls, something I am not able to get rid of.

I am worried, scared, upset and wanting to cry. My surgery is 5/25, and I am trying to exercise more, more weights, more elliptical and more walking nothing is reducing!

I am also curious if after all the swelling, will I lose a size or two in shirts and pants? I know I will be able to wear smaller undies, mainly because I will not have this big ol' panni to tuck into them. I cannot wait to see the new me!

I weighed 172 when I went for my pre-op consultation for extended TT, breast lift and scar revision. I told the surgeon how long I had been maintaining my weight, that the size I was wearing was comfortable for me, but that I wanted to look better/less lumpy in my clothes. He said "no problem". Of course, I was paying out of pocket; so I'm not sure what the insurance would have said. However, I think the idea of weight MAINTENANCE is more important to them than the actual NUMBER.

Swelling doesn't last forever, and yes....I imagine if they take off a hunk of skin, you will wear a smaller panty and top. I just had my surgery done last friday, so I can't say that first hand yet.

Good luck~

Don't worry about it too much.  If you have maintained that weight and are happy and healthy then that is what your body likes.  I am 5'2" on a good day and even after plastics I weigh 150 (although I wear a size 2/4).  Im ok with it because I like the way my body looks ( minus the thighs which are getting done in June...lol).  Try not to focus on the number.  As far as sizes, pre LBL I was a 12..now a 2/4.  And yes...smaller panties are a plus!  Good luck!
