I'm 164 but have a LOT of extra skin-- and am having an anchor abdominoplasty, brachioplasty and mastoplexy probably in June.

I lost 203 pounds.. all over the place. I had 65 inch hips, wore a 48H bra (am now 36D but it's all skin)--- wore a size 34-36W. I'm now a 14P.

See my profile for pics-- I'll add you if you ask!

How much did YOU lose from your plastics, and what procedures have you had done?

I'm trying to get an idea of where I should shoot for maintenance-wise. For my height I am supposed to be around 138, but I have loads of skin, so it's hard to know.

Thanks!

I lost 5 lbs of skin from my TT -- none from my butt lift and none from the breast lift.

I lost 219 lbs before having my LBL and thigh lipo. They took off 35 lbs and I went from a 14/16 to a size 10. I can sometimes wear an 8. It depends on the cut.

Sounds about where I am headed-- I'm 166 now and in a size 14. I have a ton of skin but not a lot of fat left. Thanks!!!

I couldn't see your photos but to answer your question about weight loss is not completely straight forward in my case. I weighed 153 going into my LBL and had almost 7 pounds removed but my weight didn't drop down immediately. I know it sounds odd, but it's the truth. Abut four months later I had a BL/BR and brachioplasty with weight still around 150 but I had lost one jean size from a 10 to an 8. Now I weigh 138 and wear a size 6 skinny jean. It's been 13 months since my LBL. I did work at losing the last 10 pounds. My abs are very tight and my skin hasn't suffered from the little extra weight loss. My advice is to lose as much as possible before your procedures for the best results. Congratulations on your spectacular success so far!

Wow! You did a great job. I know you will love your LBL - it's been my best procedure so far.

Mine's actually probably going to be an anchor-cut abdominoplasty-- I have soooo much upper and lower gut skin, not much in the back---- and luckily (?) already have a big central scar from emergency bowel surgery so it won't mess me up as it might some people. He pulls it pretty tight so it does pull in some outer thigh and back stuff too...breasts and arms at the same time--- which leave me only inner thighs which'll probably be a while, since I am in the poorhouse!

Thanks!
