| Weight Loss after TT
Hi All,
I had my TT on March 26th. and feel great. It was not bad at all. My question to you is this: I keep going on the scale and it goes up and down daily. The surgeon said the lab weighed 5 pounds of skin taken off-how come I did not loose that much at least? I am really, really careful about what I eat. Be well.

Fran,
I had a TT and it took me about 3 months for all the swelling to go down and finally see a difference on the scale. Be patient, it will go down and I'm sure you're gonna LOVE your results!

You'll be full of fluid from the IV too which weighs a fair bit and your weight will drop as your body gets rid of it.

Yep, I agree with the previous posters, you ahve a lot of fluid and swelling once that goes down you will see and feel a big difference.
I had my TT 6 years ago, due to a panni that hung down after I lost 30 lbs. I ballooned up again but never gained weight in my stomache area just everywhere else.
Now with the LB I have had no issues. I'm losing weight and feel great. i wish this was available when I started this weight loss journey.
Good Luck to all
