Question:
I would like to hear from post ops who started at 450 or above

I am 17 months post op and have lose 157 lbs, but about 50 lbs is from a tt and leg debulking. Is it taking a longer time to lose as I have severe lymphedema, which is very discouraging.    — Carol M. (posted on February 8, 2002)

I started at 407 lbs. I am 11 months post-op and have lost 161 lbs. so far. I have about another 50-60 I want to lose, but boy has the loss slowed down to a snail's pace! I was excited to hear that you lost 50 lbs. from having plastic surgery. That's great! I would like to lose about another 20-30 lbs. and then have a tummy tuck. Keep going - you're doing great!
