Goal and plastic

So i never really had a weight goal and am now floundering because I'm stable around 150 but I'm having a hard time figuring out if I need to lose more before I get a tt. Here are some pics. Do I look like a normal person? Should I work on losing a bit more so I can get optimal results? I really do not want to go through more consults then needed if they are going to say I should lose some more and then come back (least amount of time I have to be naked in front of strangers is best). Please be honest with what you see, Def not gonna hurt my feelings if I need to lose more.

  • @chunkymonkey86122 I was 153 when I had my first plastics procedure, 137 at my second, and I will be 130-133ish for my last one next week. My doctor told me that as long as I was within 15% of goal

  • I recently did my plastics consult I am 6 months post sleeve and it was very helpful in setting a realistic goal. I thought that I should lose another 20 to be at my goal weight but she said that anym

    I think you look great, and if you're at a weight that you've stabilized at, my thinking is that if you "diet" to lose more, you may end up gaining those last pounds back in time anyway. I've been won

Your clothes must do a great job at hiding because I don't see anything.

It's better to be at a stable weight and then lose a little after surgery. If you are within 10% of your goal, you should be fine. Or at least that's the general consensus at realself.com

It's very hard to tell with clothes on to be honest - Before I had plastics I could lean forwards and it looked like wax was dripping off my stomach etc - That is what made me know I had to do something - I could not live with feeling like a freak all over again...

Some people want to do plastics earlier than others so I guess it is how you feel about you, ya know

My goal was 145 and I think I was 143 when I started plastics - I am 126 now. I am glad I waited as it was really just skin removal and not fat as I had lost it all and that gave me fab results :)
