Tummy Tuck Results?

HI, I'm very new in the lap band process so I'm not even close to deciding whether or not I need a Tummy Tuck. But, I was curious of those who have had one. How many more inches do you typically loose from your waist? Is it a significant amount or is it more just removing the skin?

Hi:

I was 49 years old when I had my tummy tuck. I had lost almost 150 pounds and I had alot of loose skin on my abdomen. Gravity made my loose skin drop low, so when I did have my tummy tuck it didn't make much difference on my waist size, more of a difference on my hips because the fallen excess skin wasn't there anymore. I have a picture on my profile page that shows the difference.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

I also lost alot - 131lbs (I was 262lbs) and my TT didn't change my waist size much - if at all - As all the skin I had taken off was empty as I was at goal when I started. I am exactly half my starting weight now :) Though I can wear smaller clothes cos I don't hafta have space for the skin....

I had my plastic surgery done on Sept. 19 after weight loss of 70 pounds with another 20 to go. I had the wedge done as the surgeon didn't want to cut up my middle for fear of messing with lap band position. I had what is called the wedge which is where they cut you from hip bone to hip bone and take the apron off. If I had to redo this I would go for the whole TT, but I am satisfied with what I had at my age. I went from a size 16 to 14 pants!

I had something similarish in June and am happy the scars are now starting to fade. Remember to give it time and be patient.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
