Anyone had a tummy tuck / lower body lift after large weight loss?

I’ve lost 9 stone over 3 years. I have a lot of loose skin and plan on having a tummy tuck / lower body lift.

I’m curious how much weight people have lost in ‘skin’ when they’ve had the procedure after a large weight loss. I understand it’s unique to the individual but it would be nice to hear some examples.

I am finding it really hard to understand how close to my goal weight I actually am (you’ll maybe only understand if you’ve been in this position) so, I have another stone to lose to be within a healthy weight category which I’m confident is achievable but when I lay down and my skin moves to the side etc I’m very bony. It is making me wonder if I actually am already within a healthy weight category minus the extra skin. I’m not looking for an excuse to stop losing weight as it is still
coming off but I’m scared of going too far. The skin is also making it difficult to see what dress size I would actually be if it wasn’t there (had I not ruined my own body so to speak)

Any experiences shared would be gratefully received.
