Should I get pregnant before or after plastics

Ok so I'm down 50 pounds and starting to sag according to my doctor. I've got 40 more pounds to go. My biological clock is also ticking. Should I get plastics or baby first? I really don't know what to think. I'd appreciate advice

Should I get pregnant before or after plastics

@@mercy96

I have seen discussion on the board "when should people have plastics"

some choose to have it done right after surgery

many docs tell people to wait at least a year after goal before plastics

the reason for the latter is that your body usually firms up a "little"

for me my "disappearing" tushy/hanging skin - did tighten up a bit

would try for that wonderful baby first

remember, practice makes perfect ^_^

you've lost 50 lbs :)

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

Totally the baby first. When I went in for my consult the doctor asked me if I planned to get pregnant soon, and I said, no, but why do you ask? He said that medically there was no reason, but I just wouldn't get to enjoy my results for as long. Get the babies out of the way, save that plastics money, and then when you're done having kids go for the nip/tuck and you will get to enjoy your results the rest of your life.

Baby first.

This is a topic I've been thinking about a lot myself lately. I'm almost a year out now and down 100lbs, I've just started to research plastics and their cost/the doctors I may be interested in. I currently have no significant other but do want kids at some point. when I find someone I dont want to jump right into baby making (thought the "practice" will be fun ;3 ) so I figure that I'm at least a min of 2 years out from having a baby. that will make it three years that I would get to live with the skin sack... :/

Are there any ladies here on the board that have had children post plastics willing to talk about their experience? did your body go back with the healthy eating and exercise or did you have a revision to your plastics?
