I'm scheduled for a tummy tuck on December 14th and I was wondering how much weight will I lose.

Queen of Crops, I did it on my own, but I also did the same when I was 30. Now that I'm older and have more aches and pains, I just can't seem to do it again. I'm hoping bypass will be both the jump start I need, as well as the tool to remind me and limit me. I wish I knew then what I know now. Maybe I wouldn't feel the need to do this; I certainly stood against it for me for years. Yet a lifetime of being overweight and obese makes me wonder if I could have ever maintained without some help.

Thanks everyone on your comments. I had my TT 2 weeks ago and the surgeon removed 9lbs of skin. So far I have kept that weight off.
