I wonder how much fat they take off when you get a tt, I am 5.4 at day of my optifast i was 288.6 i still need to lose about 65lbs to be at goal but when i look at my belly i think it looks like 100lb of fat its grose.

Did anyone have the same amount of weight and maybe the same height as me?

K cant believe i will post this picture but oh well, here it is this is what is making me so depress.

Hi Hon,

I have different stats to you and I still had a fair chunk cut off, I think about 4lbs of tummy, but if you look on this forum I have piccies of pre op and I was a different shape. I would say that they will cut a shed load off you hon, that is just excess skin. You are going to have an amazing result if you go with a FTT !!

It is so disheartening when you have worked so hard to shift the weight and you are left with a body that you still dont like - but thats why god invented plastic surgeons!

I booked my PS before I got my band, I knew that I wanted a FTT, and BOY did it motivate me to get as near to goal as I could, but I was still about 28lb off when I went in,they cut off and sucked out about 10lbs and I am 6lb off goal now and it hasn't affected my results - they just get better!
