how much weight did you lose from plastic surgery?

I had between 4 and 5 lbs of skin removed so that is what I lost.

I was wearing a size 2 pre-surgery because I had to tuck the loose skin in somewhere and am now a size 0.  

I could fit in a size 0 before surgery, but I would have had to leave large flaps of skin hanging outside my clothes if I did, lol.  I only had lipo on the inside of my knees and it was literally just a few ounces.   

Right after surgery you will be super swollen.  I weighed almost 14 lbs more from all the fluids.  It took about 6 weeks to get under control.  I watched my food intake during recovery and made sure I didn't let things get out of control while I was unable to go to the gym.

HI. I am thinking ahead about my weight loss journey. I know I will need plastic surgery after I am done - breast reduction and lift (insurance should hopefully pay for that)' tummy, arms, and thighs.  For those of you who have done it how much weight did you lose when you had all of this plastic surgery? Weight from the skin and anything else removed? 

my surgeon said skin with no fat weighs next to nothing and would not reflect on the scale. He was right. I showed no loss from breast lift/reduction,arm lift,thigh lift and lower body lift.

I had a circumferential trunk lift (lower body lift *hips, butt, outer thighs* with tummy tuck) done June 16, 2015. They removed 9lbs of skin. No lipo, just skin.

At my weigh in after my surgery (I weigh in once a week religiously) I was down 10 pounds. I am still that exact same weight now, 7 months later.

So in my case, I lost 10 pounds from my plastic surgery, and im maintaining that loss.
