I'm having my tummy tuck in 3 days. I'm still about 15  lbs. from goal weight. I was just wondering if anyone knows how much a person can lose after a tummy tuck without getting the saggy skin effect. I'm sure it can vary from person to person.  Has anyone lost say at least 20 lbs. more after a tummy tuck and still kept the good results? I have to get my tt in before I lose my insurance due to a divorce, otherwise I would wait til I get to goal. As it stands, it's now or never. Thanks ahead of time for any replies.

Sorry, I can't answer you question but I wanted to wish you good luck and a smooth recovery!

(I am recovering --3 weeks-- from a TT, etc; I weighed 159 on day of surgery and am now down to 150-151....my tums so tight, I have very little appetite!)

Thanks Marilyn!  Hope you're doing well, no problems.I wish I was 3 weeks out! Right now I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about it coming up in 2 days! How has recovery been for you? How long til you could get up and around? I hate the idea of being down for any length of time, but know I'll have to have a couple days of rest. Good luck to you Marilyn!

Yes, I lost 25 pounds afte a tt and the results are even better! My PS is very pleased. I lost so much, he had to give me a smaller garment. But this may not hold true for BA! If you are doing that in the future (I am 6/14), my PS said to be at goal for best results.

Thanks for your response! I'm glad to hear I can still lose some pounds and not worry too much about it. Good luck with the BA! Hope you have a quick and painless recovery!
