All smiles on the scale!

I had intentions on taking pictures tonight to "see" my progress (day16), but I got sidetracked by my elation! Up until today I was afraid to get on the scale, I knew my waist was larger & despite losing my drooping panni I figured I would be unhappy with the number. To my surprise & with some swelling still left I'm down 13 lbs!!! I am so happy; I can't wait for the day when I can "see" how I will ultimately look!

Yeah Cindy!  Congratulations.  How much skin did your surgeon remove?  I haven't gotten on the scale but my surgeon said he removed between 2 and 3 lbs. of skin.

Congrats!!!! I bet that felt awesome! Have. You measured yourself and compared the before and after measurements? I am 10 days post op and still 4 lbs up from the weight I was the day of surgery ( I know, I should stay away from the scale. Curiosity just got the best of me). My surgeon took off 6 lbs, so I am technically up 9 lbs right now. I am pretty swollen though so I'm not shocked. How many lbs did your surgeon take off? Congrats again! I'd love to see pics of your results!

 Congratulations! All that skin gone AND a lower number on the scale - how wonderful!!!

WOW   13 what a blessing...I know you are ecstatic!

 Your just like me. I didn't weigh myself till about two weeks out. It still goes up and down a bit but I just wanted a ballpark. I am probably down 9 so a little jealous of you 13. :) but mostly i want to keep track since I have been pretty inactive and don't want the weight sneaking back on. (I know I have to realize that even if the scale moves its probably the swelling) congrats!

Congrats! wow im actually still the same before Panni and TT but i have alot of swelling. i did manage however to measure and to my surprise after procedure it took 4 inches away from my waist area!!!! I am very happy with my results and cant wait to see my final result.

Thank you!!! I actually never asked how much he removed. You can bet that'll be one of my first questions when I see him later this month. I feel like a moth...transformed into a butterfly. Despite seeing all the photos of all the people who have undergone ps after wl I never really believed that I could look the way that I do. Of course I'm far from perfect, but I'm light years from where I was.
