How many inches did you lose?
How many inches did you lose from around your waist after a LBL?
I have 1 LBL with full abdominoplasty schedule for October 1. I have lost 155 lbs and am currently under 190, and am currently wearing a size 33 pant. I am curious from other guys, How many inches did you lose off your waist. I am planning on telling my surgeon that its OK to go with the anchor incision. I am more interested in having a flat stomach under my clothes than worrying about the scar.
Thoughts?

Zero. I'm exactly the same size as before my lower body lift. I had 2 square feet weighing 5 pounds removed. I'm one of the few who did not go down in size. Still thankful to have the skin removed.

I lost 6 inches and 2 pant sizes. And I had the anchor cut. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I also could care less about the scar. I wanted the flat belly. Good luck!

My surgeon said most people lose 2 sizes....however for myself I didnt. My excess skin sat higher - it was on top of my pants, so I am the same size but it looks way better. I *think* and *hope* lol my waist went down 4 inches, but because my swelling came back really bad my waist is the same as pre-surgery. But trust me....even the same size, but without the skin, it looks 100% better. So dont worry too much about that!
