This one is for all of you who have been there before us who are looking toward the flatlands.

Did you take your measurements?

I've been taking mine throughout the whole Lap Band process and today I got to thinking about the inches lost with the tummy tuck. Just curious if you did and how many inches lost?

Yep, I too have taken measurements along the way, and they have done the same for me at Curves. I have it posted in my signature---that is the Curves total---I measure wierd areas, like Jack does, and those are not included in the loss---the 61" is from Curves totals!! I am on the 5 foot wall!!

I plan on taking my measurements probably the week before my TT. I would do it the night before, but my flight does not land the night before until 7 something, and I have a 3.5 hour drive home----then have to get everything ready to head to surgery the next morning----so not thinking I will have it in my head to do it. But within the week prior without a doubt!!! I also plan on asking my Dr. if he would mind someone taking a couple of pictures of what is removed!!! Gross? Yeah maybe----but it will be headed for the landfill---I wanna see it!!

I took measurements before the lapband and before the tummy tuck.

When I started out on the journey I weighed 206lbs and my measurements were 47-40-46. Just before the tummytuck they were 44-37-43 (have to say though that the smallest part of my waist at that point was just under me ribs!!) and I weighed 168lb

Straight after the tt I was 44-33-41 and I weighed 161lb and now 10 weeks or so on they are 42-31-39 and I weigh 148lb - and my waist measurement is now taken around my belly button not just under my ribs!

Hope that this helps.

wow Nina you lost 4 inches immediately! Thats wonderful! Can I ask how tall you are? Do you have pics posted?

Anyone else?

I took measurements pre lap band then every month after

I took them right before PS.

hips are down about 10", waist still up 6-7" :redface: thats on a really swollen day.. normal day, up 3-4"

Christine when you say your hips are down 10" had you measured on the outside of your apron or did you lift if up and measure? I always lift my flap up to measure around my butt aka hips. I'm suprised your belly is still that swollen.

I measured including the apron
