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?

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!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
