I watch plastic surgery shows and they show the patient a photo of how much skin and fat that they remove during the TT and then they tell you how much it weighed. Was this your experiences too?

When I returned to Dr S for my second and third surgeries, I asked to see pics of my removed skin from 2009's tummy tuck and arm lift. He showed me all of his pictures and I was amazed! I'm a nurse, so pretty much nothing grosses me out!

12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.

I think it depends on the situation.

I specifically asked for the weights to be taken prior to going into the ER. I wanted to be able to report here to the board. I declined my surgeons generous offer to snap pictures of the removed skin and tissue. I never ever want to see that again - on or off my body!
