I lost 134 pounds, and a total of 10 pounds of skin was taken off between all the surgeries. However, my body fat was 20% at that time, so all that it was was skin as there was really no fat on the skin or to lipo.

Depends on how much fat you have in that area. Mine was just skin, so it wasn't much.

From my lbl and bl my doctor removed 2 square feet of skin and it weighed 5 pounds (it was mainly skin and very little fat).

Mine was 21 lbs I lost 220 lbs before my plastics, but I carried most of my weight in my stomach.  I'm the exception though 2 plastic surgeons said I had the largest apron they'd seen and the third said I had the 2nd largest.
