I've lost almost 140 lbs., does anyone have a guesstimate on how much skin weight I might lose in a panni?

It depends. If it is just skin maybe 3-5 pounds. If there is fat attached possibly 10-15 pounds. After losing 200 pounds my skin that was removed weighed about 5 pounds.

I lost 160.  The doc estimated 6 pounds of skin from a lower body lift.  Skin doesn't really weigh a lot.  You may have a little fat taken off with the skin, but not much.

I lost 100lbs, and had a LBL...the skin removed weighed 6.6 lbs.

I had 8 pounds removed but that also included lipsuction. I was told that 5-6 pounds of that was skin and tissue and 2-3 pounds was fat.

My panni was quite large around my stomach but only hung about 4-5 inches past my navel.

I lost 140 pounds and just had my panni done with an upgrade to full TT.  I had a lot  of loose skin above my belly button and  up so my surgeon and I decided on the vertical incision.  He pulled the skin in so I got a bit of  back lift too.  At first he estimated 3lbs but it ended up being 5.  Skin doesn't weigh as much as you would think.
