How much did you lose after plastic surgery?

I am curious how much weight people lost after PS? I've been at or below my goal for several months but I've always thought about losing maybe 10 more for my "cushion." I'm curious how much weight did everyone lose after PS? The calories you burn most a major surgery is huge and of course there is skin and fat that we will lose through these procedures as well. I'm planning a TT with lipo, BA/BL and a small arm or small thigh lift. 

 

Cant wait until Friday when I can meet and talk with my surgeon again!

 

Hellomy name is tammy and i started at 212 pounds in march. I am down to 178 today,

I lost maybe 3lbs afterward, but then due to lack of activity I gained them back. So at 3 months post op, I am the same weight. 143, but everything is in the right place :)

During my brachioplasty and breast lift, he removed about 3 pounds total --- and after a few weeks when swelling went down, the net result on the scale was zero ---

During my tummy tuck, he removed almost 4 pounds --- and again, my body replenished the fluid part of that and I am within 2 - 3 pounds of my pre-op weight (maintenance for me).

I am one size smaller in both tops and bottoms at the same weight I was and I look so much better.

Honestly, after my arms/breasts surgery, I had people ask if I had lost another 15-20 pounds --- because my arms and breasts match my small neck and shoulders now (I have a small frame, who would have known when I had 130 excess pounds on it).

So, I am satisfied to have my weight be the same if I can look smaller and have the excess skin gone!

 

 

I had my lbl/bl around 17 months ago. My surgeon removed 5 pounds of skin. I was 143 the day of surgery. I've maintained at about 135 since about a month post-plastics.

I'll let you know when I lose it.  Ask me again in December.

They took 7.5 lbs of skin off of me.  I haven't lost it yet.  The swelling and water weight have kept me above my surgical weight until the past week.  After surgery My weight shot  up from 184 to 186, now I am back down to 181.  If you figure that I was 184 and lost 7.5 - I should be around 177. 

Ultimately, I will let the weight settle where it does.  I am looking for body shape.  I want that flat tummy - not my swollen muffin top.  I was warned to expect the post op swelling to last about 3 months.  All of the lymph ducts that allow draining from the lower abdomen were severed.  Those take time to repair.  It sucks but its true.

Not sure how much this is worth...because I'm only 10 days post op from my abdominoplasty but my surgeon removed 5 pounds of skin, and I weighed myself this morning and am the same as what I was when I weighed myself last week....which is 12 pounds lighter than what I weighed on October 22nd when I had my tummy tuck...

Before my TT I was hovering around 153-155. I am 4 weeks out and am 145. I had 4.5 lbs of skin removed. My lowest weight prior to plastics was 145.

I also had a couple other medical issues addressed during the surgery. I had a 800cc mass removed (size of a quart) plus 3 other small masses from the lining of my abdomen wall. They were discovered looking for possible kidney stone 5 months earlier. All blood work and 3 opinions from my family Dr and 2 specialists all indicated very unlikely to be cancer. So I saved up for the TT and enjoyed the last summer with my daughter who left for college in early Sept.

That pesky kidney stone became an issue again in Sept. and was eventually removed via "surgery" 1 week before my TT.

I am ready to be well. I feel better for the most part, but with both surgeries my recovery was expected to be 8 weeks. I think they may be right.

The morning of surgery I was 205. As of yesterday morning I was 188. I had TT, BL with no implant and lipo on inner and outer thighs. Surgery was 10/02/12.

I had my LBL on 10/29 - they removed 18.5 lbs of skin, I was 185 the day of my surgery and today I weighed and I am 172.  Having a 13 lb VISIBLE on the scale loss at only 5 days post-op, I consider myself lucky and can't wait to see the end result since I know I'm swollen - I had my big old fuzzy slippers on, heavy pj's, the binder and all the drains (4) I'll update the weight in a week or two so you can compare.
