I lost 167 lbs. I am 5'8". Dr. LoMonaco took 5 lbs off the front and 2 lbs off the back during my lbl. I was a size 8/10 before surgery and am now a size 8.

I lost 120 and was wearing a 12 at the time of surgery. I had an LBL which took off 9lb so skin & fat. After that I was in a 10 just due to my thighs. After my MTL I was able to get into 6's. Now usually wearing an 8 just cuz my thighs are still big.

I had a tt 8 weeks ago today. I was 212 day of surgery, and now 193. Doc removed 11 pds off my stomach and I was a 18/20 womens, now I am a regular 16, but I could go down to a 14 but I just bought these new pants about 4 weeks ago! I am excited to see what I end up at!!

Good luck with everything!

I lost a total of 185 to 190 lbs so far, my RNY was 11/2008.. I had a high weight of about 330 and I am now about 140 to 145. 

I had a LBL done and in total I had about 15 lbs of skin removed (10lbs on the first surgery and 5 on the second). I did not lose 15 lbs cause you have a huge amount of blood and fluid removed with your skin and your body replaces it.

Before my LBL I was a size 10/12 and I am now a 4/6 and my last surgery was 1/17, my first surgery was 12/30. I had complications and he had to go back to remove a blood clot and get rid of some fluid build up, so I kinda ended up with a LBL and tummy tuck on top of it.

thanks,

I lost 115 pounds post surgery, then had 17 pounds removed in my LBL.  I thought I would only lose about 5, but there was a lot there, I guess.

Pre-surgery, I was wearing a size 10/12 jeans, and now I'm wearing a size 6.  I'm almost 4 months out, but due to medical (not surgical) complications, I'm still pretty swollen above my belly button.

I've lost 100 lbs since my surgery- but wondering, would you do the tummy tuck again if you had the option?

I am 8 weeks out from LBL and doing great - even up to running 7 miles at a time some days..was 318 and lost down to 138.5 the morning of my LBL. he took off 5.5 lbs and I got down to 127 about 3 weeks after. I've rebounded and am holding around 129-131. Went from a size 2 to a size 0.

Be happy.
