Just curious....

How much did you lose before you had your reconstructive surgery? Was the reconstructive surgery recommended by your doc, or did you ask for it? I am almost 1 year, Post op and I've only lost 60lbs. I would like to wait until i've lost atleast 80lbs (because I'm not sure I'd ever reach the 100lbs weight loss mark), but I was wondering about when or if I should ask for a Tummy Tuck and breast lift. Right now my breast and pannius seem to have low self esteem. They just look toward the floor (causing slight back-aches and occasional rashes)!!!!Everything has seemed to drop with the weight! Any advice or comments are appreciated.

Thanks:embaressed_smile:

Call and schedule a consult. If the PS thinks he/she will have better results with additional weight loss they will tell you! In the meantime have your rashes and back aches documented. Long term issues have better chances of being covered by insurance.

I had mine done about 20 pounds ago.....and am not dealing with any new sagging skin from that 20 pounds!
