I'm just 6# from my final goal and while I don't have the $ for plastics anytime soon, I'm ok with that, may end up borrowing from my 401k next year. But, this will also give my body a chance to adjust and stabilize. If money were no object, I would have a full body lift, but that's not likely.

Anyhow, just curious for those that had plastics to remove loose skin, was looking to know how much weight you lost afterwards. When responding, please tell me what procedure(s) you had done, weight before/ after.

Just saying you look great

Just saying you look great!!!!!!

goofed up somewhere. LOL

Thank you, I do feel great! It's weird how I have to keep re-adjusting my mind with clothes and so many other things. Being ok with wearing form fitting stuff is nice just not something I'm used to. Thank goodness for spanx

You look wonderful!!

I am curious about this answer as well.

I have not had plastics yet. I just wanted to say that there was a HUGE difference in my loose skin at one year out from two years out (where I am now). I was unable to get my plastics done due to my geographical location. But the longer you put it off while saving money the less work you might need. I would have had far more work done a year ago than I would feel necessary now. I would be perfectly happy with LBL and lift/augmentation at this point, when I would have felt arms and thighs were necessary a year ago.

My friend recently had lift/augmentation and a tummy tuck and she is still swollen four months later. So she's just back at her starting weight but the lines of her body are fabulous already. She thinks she might weigh about five pounds less when all is said and done, but her loose skin wasn't really that bad.

Whatever you decide, good luck! Update here - I'm now putting off my plastics because of pregnancy but I'll still get them one day.

Thank you for sharing that. I kind of suspected that I will feel differently in a year or more about my loose skin. I also need to do some things myself to help tone. I know that won't be the cure all, but it might help some. I also like the idea that I could save myself money by waiting this time out.

Hi, the procedures that I had are listed in my surgery.

I went to Mexico weighing 151.5. Dr. Sauceda removed 6.5 pounds of skin and two liters of fat were lipoed from my thighs, then injected into my butt.

I weighed for the first time two weeks post op when I got home from Mexico.

145. So I was down exactly the weight of the skin that was removed. I did not suffer from a lot of swelling.

Hope that helps answer your question!

@lee...did you have the fat transfer into your butt and inner thigh lift in the same surgery?

I had the bodywork on 12/9/2011 and the face work on 12/12/2011. Two surgeries. The first was 13 hours using an epidural and twilight sleep. It was great. I was up all night reading and watching movies when I got out of recovery.

I was 250 the morning of the Panniculectomy procedure and came out of surgery 13lbs lights; two days ago.
