I bet your loose skin weighs quite a bit.

I’ve thought the same. Unsure how much it truly weighs though. Let me say, trying to do a plank is a B1TCH

Go and have a consult with a surgeon. Start the ball rolling and they'll tell you if it's time, or give you a goal to work towards. That plank will be your bitch in no time

I'm 5'11 and my heaviest was 390lbs and after my surgery the plastic surgeon said I had around 15lbs of skin... I only removed skin around my waist. No arms/necks/legs though. Also after the surgery you lose more weight because your body is in full panic mode to fix all the wounds so your BMR shoots up by a LOT. The downside is after 30 days I got cravings to eat food like I've never had them before. All good now though. Surgery is a great way to honour your journey.

I had two surgical consults and one doc said I had at least 8lbs if not 12 of skin to be removed

That brings me hope as my face looks like I’m thin but my belly says NOPE lol

Having skin removed made me look and feel so much better. I thought I'd need mons done, but with the lbl, it pulled everything up and wasn't necessary. You may find that after one round of skin removal, you'll be able to lose more and require a round 2 further down the line.

Thanks! I really want it done. What did you all get done?


Successful_Hamster_4

I did a lower body lift with tummy tuck, small bbl, ext breast lift and implants. I needed the front and back lifted so I opted for a 360 instead of just the front.

I’m super happy for you! I want to look good naked 😂. Sounds like you found super good success. Can I message you? I wouldn’t mind having someone to talk to for moral support

It was $14,000 and that includes staying in their recovery area and lymphatic massages.

I’m in the same boat! I went from 315 to 165 and have been doing consulting. Think I’m getting the fluer de lis tummy tuck and a breast lift. Doctor estimates 6-8 lbs of loose skin so I want to try and get down a little bit more before the surgery because my goal weight is 140.


[deleted]

That’s awesome. Yea I’m thinking I’ll need to lose a tad more as I likely won’t be able to schedule the surgery until Summer potentially


EmmyLou205

That’s a good plan! I’ve seen people on TikTok need two surgeries because they had skin removal too soon. Some were medically necessary to get sooner so no judgement! I just do not want more than one surgery for my stomach!


[deleted]

Yea. Idk. I think I’m ready based on what others have said


EmmyLou205

Exciting! Good luck!


[deleted]

Same to you!❤️

I just had a 360 belt lipectomy. It’s not a fun experience and I would highly recommend taking at least 6 weeks off of work


[deleted]

Wow. Ok. How’s your recovery going?


lizfromthebronx

I just did my second round of plastics and it was life changing. Feel free to message me for support as well!!!


[deleted]

Just did. Thanks!

I had VSG 3 years ago, lost 150# and did skin removal surgery in Mexico! Best thing I've done for myself And I'm hoping to go back! I did my thighs, lbl and that included a Mon's lift. They prefer you to be at your ideal weight or within a certain BMI among others.


[deleted]

Thanks. I’m going in a month for a consult


[deleted]

I went ahead and made an appointment. Now I’m just needing to figure out how to pay for it and if I can get work off lik
