Plastic surgery, when?

Hi, I am down 90 lbs and within 10 of my goal. I have a lot of excess abdominal skin. When should you think of going to see someone? Any help would be great.

Hi Mary! Congratulations on the weight loss to date. I, also, had surgery on May13, 2003. The day of surgery I weighed 240, and today I am at 157! A few weeks ago I went for an intial consult with a plastic surgeon. That was a very hard experience to get naked for the exam, but I managed. What I learned was that I am not quite ready for this type of surgery, yet...due to the fact I have yet to reach a plateau for at least two - three months. I am still losing! I do not reqret going for the visit since I am researching the doctor that I feel will be the best for me. I plan to consult with several in my area and my health plan network.

Hi, I also had my surgery on May 13th, 2003 and I began at 376 and now I am at 223. I am also ready to begin researching the plastic surgery possibilities. I have not yet reached a pleatuea for the 2-3 month period but I know that I will continue to search for the right dr. now so when I do I will be ready. If you get any good leads let me know too!! Congratulations on your success and goodluck in the future!
