Most... PS want a person to wait till they have been in are around the same weight for at least 6-12 months before they will do TT... but hey... not everyone's the same.

If the consults are free... what's the harm..

You have to do what you feel is right. It's a huge decision.... "weight"... hehe... the Pros and cons.

But I can grab handfuls and handfuls of skin starting right under my breastbone all the way down to my waist.

Me too!

The first time I saw myself in a mirror on all fours with my skin hanging I just about died. I looked like I was ready to whelp a litter, lol.

i would deff do a consult or two or three....now. How long has it been since you have lost any lbs? if it's been a while, your body may be telling you.... Hey, this is where i belong..... Removing 15-20lbs of skin is a lot.... and if your already a 6 ... i would think that you would end up in 2-4 jeans....

Some ps also do skin donation and will give you a discount.... Never hurts to ask

I was a 6 petite before my lower body lift, and am now a zero. I am petite at 5'2" and small framed. I was 121 on the day of my lower body lift and he took 7 lbs of skin off and I range between 110 and 112 now 4 months later.

First of all, I'm female. I look like a dude in the photo, lol. I took it in the bathroom at work and I can't take a selfie to save my life, lol. I have to wear really loose shapeless tops to hide all the loose skin on my arms and middle so I dress like a lumberjack or truck driver on most days.

I'm not at MY goal yet ... I have about 40 more lbs to lose. I'm not a large person (5' 3") and my frame is pretty small (my thighs don't touch at this point), so even though I am wearing a size 6 jeans, I am still wearing a size XL top because of all the loose skin (and fat) attached to the skin. My gastric surgeon guesstimated I have 15 to 20 lbs of skin. You are seeing just the bottom of it in the photo. Only one handful, lol.

From personal experience, do you all feel I should go ahead in a month or two or wait until I am all done losing weight? I can't afford to do it twice. The skin is driving me nuts. It weighs me down. I was built like a top before surgery, so it's mostly concentrated around my middle.

What say you all?

Be honest.

wait until your goal or close to it for best resulrs.
