Am I ready?

I want to loose another 20pds -- but my PS said she'd rather do the surgery on a patient that is still going down in weight (20 pds is OK, but 50 she'd want me to wait)

why?  because she's seen patients who were at their goal, have PS - then gain some weight- and the weight you gain shows up in some pretty funky places

so I will have it now (timing is good) and if/when I loose the last 20 I will be happy - but I know I will be happy looking at my nude body in the mirrow as I still loose weight....... Ha Ha

as for the help/kids -- I have a 7yr old and 5 yr old twins -- I was going to have the PS over the xmas break - but new I'd never get rest with the kids at home - so I moved it to the 1st week of Jan after they go back to school

What you say makes perfect sense, I have seen people gain after a tt and it does make them look odd.  I am 100% with you about the if/when!
