TT and weight loss question

I had a TT last week. My surgeon said they took off several pounds. But she has not given me a specific amount. I was wondering how much weight did most people lose with their TT? I also had a hysterectomy at the same time. I know I am swollen but the scale shows I have only lost 4 pounds. I thought I would at least be down 10-15 pounds. How long does it take to see your results on the scale after a TT? I thought I would see the scale decrease more by now. Any advice would be appreciated.

Totally depends on how much tissue.

I had chest lipo (male) and a full LBL and lost about 5 pounds or so.

 You can see all my procedures in my signature line.  I had 6 pounds of skin removed and lots of lipo. When I got home from Mexico two weeks later I was own exactly six pounds.

Many people expect big numbers but don't get them skin doesn't weigh as much as we would lie to think.

I had an extended abdominoplasty and breast reduction.  My surgical report shows my surgeon removed 14 pounds of tissue from my body.  Most of it was from the tummy, I think about 12 pounds of it.  But, with all of the IV fluids and swelling, I hardly lost anything that first few days to a week after the surgery.  After the surgery, I completely lost my appetite, and I lost even more weight than what was removed surgically.  I'm almost 9 weeks postop now, and I'm down about 25 pounds from my pre-surgical weight.

Hope that helps!

i had a TT, they removed 6.1 lbs of tissue...now about 6 wks later ive lost about 10 lbs since surgery

I had extended tummy tuck and brachioplasty, 6# was taken off.

I lost about 8 pounds. I don't know how much he took off. I was bloated for about the first week or so and then when I got on the scale at the four week mark that's when I saw the change. There is no major changes in size for me, it's just a difference in number.

16.3 was taken off but 10 showed up on the scale a month later. I only weigh once a month so maybe it was more after surgery/mybe not.
The thing to remember is that along with skin fluid is removed and the body will replinish some of that fluid back. My heighest weight was 405 and I had a lot of belly!

 I was down 16 pounds when i came home from my tummy tuck and hernia repair.  i dropped another 4 pounds during my recovery, but my weight fluctuates between 136 and 139 over the course of a week.

Truly, skin weighs a lot less than we expect.  Don't weigh until your swelling has lessened and don't be disappointed if you don't lose 10 to 15lbs.  That is a lot to expect from a TT. 

Several pounds is probably 2 or 3.  You can call your surgeon's office and someone should be able to look at your medical record and tell you exactly.

My surgeon reminded my friend that plastic surgery is not a weight loss option.  Meaning, do not expect to lose weight with plastics.  If you do, it's just a bonus!
