Weight loss AFTER removal of excess skin



Recommended Posts

I had LBL with fleur de lis Tummy Tuck and Lipo 7 days ago. I was 197 the day of surgery (my goal weight is 185-190). I knew there was about 8ish pounds to skin and didn't want to get to my goal and then lose another 10 from surgery. Even my PS says I should not lose anymore weight as my body is proportionate now, just need this work done.
So they ended up taking 15lbs of tissue and today (with tons of swelling) I was 191.
So I should comfortably be in the 180's when all is said and done.

Not often a insurance provider does you a favor by saying no but for what it's worth I think they did in this case. My experience was getting to goal helped the Dr create an end result I never could have dreamed of. None of us are looking for perfect but I'm telling ya when you get to goal and then have plastics .... your Dr can actually get pretty close to perfect. I had LBL in Jan and still can't believe my mid section is me. Feel free to check out my other posts that have pics.

Good luck with your final push to goal weight you're got a great motivation to get there and stay there.

Cheering you on!!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
