Tummy Tuck

How long after WLS does a patient have to wait for a tummy tuck? What all does the procedure entail? Are the doctors who write it up better than others. Please give me all the info.

My doctor has told me that the BEST way to think of getting the plastic surgeries is after you have reached goal. The reason for this is because if you get the skin removed before you have lost all the weight you stand the chance of having excess skin if you continue to loose after this type of skin removal. (What would be the point of having skin removed of you're going to have extra skin again?) Good luck with your journey! Dee Dee

I was told by a Plastic Surgeon that in order to get the most benefit from the surgery, you need to be at a steady weight for 6 months.. Cathy
