Inches lost after TT?

Did anyone take before and after measurements of their TT? If so, how many inches did you lose? I know that everyone is different, but I'm curious! (denial of TT received, which I kind of expected; working on appeal)
Thanks!

I did.  I took chest, bust, upper arm, waist, hips, upper thigh and lower thigh.

Chest/bust and thighs is too soon to tell since I just had that work done.

Waist was down about about 3 inches however it went up slightly with the second group of surgery.
Hips were down about 4 inches but up again because of the second group of surgery

Once all the swelling goes down I would expect the waist to go back down 3 inches.  The hips maybe a little more.

My arms are down a solid 3 inches.

I lost 2" at the waist, 5" at the hips and 1.5 on my upper arms (they are still swollen though) and that is a month out.

I had LBL they took off 12.5 lbs of skin. My high weight was 305lbs.  I was 158 on day of LBL.  I developed a stricture after the LBL and lost another 10 lbs. and now weigh 135.  I was 10 week out and had little swelling on the day I measured.

I lost 3.5 " in the waist, 6.75 " at lower abdomen, 5" in the hips, and 3" in each thigh.

Good luck on your appeal.  brenda

I wish I had measured but they took about 6 pounds of skin 2 or 3 litters of fat (have to look) and I went from a size 12 to a size 6. :)

I lost 6 inches around the waist, but forgot to measure the hips before surgery.  I know I've lost some there, too.
        Good luck with your appeal!

Well, I am totally different from you all. I did not measure before I had my PS, but I was in a size eight and now I am in a 10-12. Now that is depressing. LOL. To an extent. And my pants are fitting in that size where there is absolutely no swelling. So I have no clue what happened, but I least I dont have the rolls any more.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.  Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!
