Yea , you definitely want to wait until you lose all your weight. You could
have the TT and then lose 10 lbs and your stomach will go saggy again. Just
be patient with that part, it really matters. Make sure when you get the TT
your doc does the mons lift at the same time.It will be one scar then. Most
insurance companies will pay for some skin removal after weight loss as long
as it is medically necessary....rashes, yeast infections, hygene issues....
etc..
My tummy tuck was like christmas morning to me.. Im attaching a few of my
before and after photos, just in general but you can get the idea. Good
luck.
