After the surgery was completed, my surgeon told me the total amount of pounds removed. You won’t know your actual weight loss until the drains are removed and the swelling has subsided – two or three weeks.
There are many conflicting opinions on weight loss charts. I use: 100 pounds for 5′ plus 5 pounds for each inch. Using this formula, your ideal weight is 145 pounds. You could also ask your doctor what he/she thinks is a healthy weight for you.
I was given this formula by a hospital staff member.
If you plan to lose more weight, you might want to delay the surgery to remove extra skin. With further weight loss, you may develop more extra skin and have to go through the same surgery.

A friend of mine just had a tummy tuck, They removed 12 pounds of skin and fat, that is all she lost. You will lose only as much as they take off of you.
There is no way I would be able to tell you how much you will weigh after your surgery, It will depend on how much your skin and fat that they remove weighs. - Comment Feed for this Post
Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called tour2india4health consultants .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.
Tour2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
