Measurements?

I'm sure this question has been askedmand risked many times before . But , did you take the before and after measurements? Would you mind sharing them and how many inches you lost?
Did you go down any clothes sizes after and lbl or a tt ?
Kinda looking forward to going by new pants that will actually fit me.

The only thing I took a measurement of before was my waist. It was 32" before my lbl and 28.5" after. I could go down a size in pants, but just haven't been shopping for some yet. The ones I have are getting a little baggy. Best wishes on your surgery!

Thank you, 3 1/2 inches isn't bad , I'm hoping to be able to pull pants off shelf that fit again. I'm going to measure hips, waist and thighs to see how many inches it takes off. Pam

I had an extended tummy tuck and went down a size once all the swelling was gone.

I'm hoping at least a full pants size. Lose all these bumps and bulges, tighten up my abdominals. Lift up my mons area, I don't have a bulge there but it's like it just dropped. Guess these are the things I really should be made clear I want taken care of to my ps.

I had a TT and I was a size 12 before after I now wear a 4. My doctor removed 9 pounds of skin. My situation is a bit different tho I was prego and had a c-section and TT the same day. It was a big mistake doing it that way but my doctor told me my c section incision would not heal right with the fold of skin that hung down. My uterus has now shrunk to normal size and it is not as tight as it first was.

That is a little different, I'd say. Surely, couldn't your measurements to go by. No way, no how!

I am two and a half weeks out of TT/LBL so I am probably a little early for results. My waist is back to pre-op (34 inches) my tummy is down 3 inches and my thighs are down 1 inch. I still feel really swollen. I still have 2 of 4 of my drains. I started in a size 12 and am most comfortable in 16's now for my dranis to fit in my waist band. I am kind of frustrated but know I will get smaller. I hoped to be a size 8 but I am thinking that is a dream. I might hit a 10 but again, PRETTY early to know.

Don't give up hope until you have to. I'm hoping to be in the single digit size but with these thighs I'll have to wait for round 2 at least. Going to try getting off my duff more before ps. I stay in the road so much that when I am home, I don't want to move a muscle.
