LBL which was bigger -swelling or the apron?

I can't believe its already been 4 weeks for you.  Seems like just yesterday you were having it done.  I'm sure it seems much longer to you though, LOL!  I can't wait to have this all behind me.

Part of it feels like yesterday and part of me feels like its been months!  But I think I am really starting to feel better.

 The apron definitely was bigger. I haven't had too much swelling and they only took five pounds off so I may not be a one to answer. I am not as flat as I expected I would be. I would lift the skin and try to see what it would look like and I am not that small. I guess they do not pull it as tight on older people because of the elasticity of the skin. I am very happy with the results.

5 lbs is a bunch to take off!  I think they said mine is 10 to 12 lbs so I'm hoping I will shrink a size.

they took 7 off me and I think I lost 2 sizes.  hard to tell now with swelling though.  But I was a 12 before and look like I will be an 8ish now.  But I have lost so much weight post op, I have no idea if its the weight loss or just the skin.

Too me there was no comparison. ANYTHING is better than that apron for sure! Even with my swelling that lasted forever didn't compare. How much of a difference it makes depends on the size of your apron but I'm sure you will be amazed.

I started at 350 lbs and my "apron" is huge.  I keep it tucked in spanx so that pants will fit okay.  I am so excited that everyone says the trade off is better.
