Going in wednesday for TT/pani

Skin weighs next to nothing.  Unless you have a significant panni - like hanging down to your knees - that still has a lot of fat attached, surgery isn't going to make much of a difference in your weight.  I had a lower body lift after losing 160 pounds - 5-6 pounds of skin removed.  And a year later, my weight was right where I started!

You gained all of your weight back in a year? 160 lbs! That's awful!  And really sad to have wasted the plastic surgery and all that effort. 

Of course, not everyone will have your experience.  I'd say that yours is the worst possible scenario..

I was talking about the 5-6 pounds I lost as a result of the plastic surgery, not WLS. 

I'm kind of surprised a surgeon would do the tt/pani without you being at goal or at least have been the same weight for a year.  What if you have the surgery and then lose another 20 or 30lbs and have more skin that needs to be addressed?  It can happen.  Would you go in for another round of plastics to get it addressed?

Good Luck.

Lol you guys are funny! Thanks for the good luck vibes! So excited! 

Not sure how concern for long-term success in plastics is "funny?"

I'm assuming the OP reply was to the poster that thought the other poster gained ALL her weight back..

But then again you know what they say about assuming!! LOL!!!

So I guess you have changed your mind about never having another elective surgery...?  I will warn you that if you thought your gallbladder removal was bad, you better brace yourself for a TT.  It hurts like hell and makes gallbladder removal feel like having a splinter removed.

Yeah that's what I've heard that this is one of the worst ones. 

And yeah the phrase never say never has plagued me ;)
