How much skin/fat was removed during your LBL/Tummy Tuck?
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.
