Im starting my postop plastic surgery journey.  I am having a belt lipectomy and thigh lift/contouring in April.  I am curious to know the amounts of fat and skin that you had removed.  I have heard numbers from 5lbs all the way to 36lbs! 
Also, what size were you pre plastics and then after (maybe 3 months later, after the swelling went down)

Thanks!!

I only lost 85lbs, and had 3lbs of skin and 1 liter of fat.  I did have an LBL, BL, arms and inner upper thigh lift.

I was wearing size 9 jeans before surgery and haven't tried them on yet.  I'm almost 5 weeks out.

I had 15 lb removed - had a TT and arm lift.  I am just over 2 months out and am still in swell hell so I don't know what size I will be.  right now I am down one size from sx but my waist has no definition so hopefully I will go down one or two more sizes before all is said and done.

I had RNY in 2005 and have lost about 140 pounds.  I had an extended tummy tuck and BR/BL four weeks ago yesterday.  I'm 5'9" and before plastics, I  weighed 211 & wore a size 16.   Most of my excess flab/skin was in my belly - my surgeon removed 8 pounds from my tummy and one pound from each of my breasts.  I've been extremely swollen the last couple of days (started back to work this week, plus had a new grandbaby yesterday and have been helping out with his older siblings) but  last week, I bought a few new clothes that are size 12.

I was 198 when I had my tt - now am 185.  I was a size 14/16 depending on the clothes.  Now I am a 12/14 - if my waist swelling would go down, I think I would be a solid 12.  We'll see.

I'll be 4 weeks out on Friday from a TT and he took 5lbs of skin and fat off.

I am 5 foot 8 and had a total weight loss of about 150 pounds.  I had a tummy tuck and 7 pounds was removed.  Before my tummy tuck I was wearing between a size 12 and 14.  After 3 months and with swelling down I wear a size 10 very comfortably.  I also had a dual brachioplasty.  One half pound per arm was removed.  I will be going in later this year to "complete the cut" around my back and trim my inner thighs.
