I posted my pre op pics.  I have been 142 lbs for pretty much the last year.  I get lower but can't maintain it.  142 seems to be my sweet spot.  My problem is, when I look at my pre op pictures, I feel like I should try to lose 5 or 6 more lbs before I schedule or at least  before my date.  Will I be happier with my results if I get my weight down a little more?  My BMI is 22.3, I am in Size 6, but I have a lot of fullness in my stomach and thighs, not sure how to lose it , it seems like it is mostly skin!!  You will need to friend me to see the pictures...

I would not try to lose the weight, if I were you, especially if you know it would be tough to maintain.  If there are any lumpy bumpy spots, your doctor can do a bit of lipo.  If you have fullness in your tummy, that of course will be taken care of with the tt/lbl.

I did not look at your pictures but I can tell you I was that exact same weight and size pre op
they did not remove much skin from my belly about 1.5 lbs and now six weeks out I weight 132 and am in a size 4 everyone tells me no more you are too thin my husband is mad at me everyday - I am not trying to lose anymore weight as I think I am fine right where I am. Before surgery I could not lose anymore wieght I was stable for months and it seems as though somehow the surgery kick started my loss again. So I say No you do not need to lose anymore weight before plastics the surgery will take away alot you'll be amazed.

Just my opinion you know they are like ******** everyone has one LOL
Best wishes to whatever you decide
Happy Holidays

Cheers

I agree with Maureen.  I was at 172 for 6 months and since I've had my TT it seems to have kicked started me losing again.  I am now at 169 as of today, so don't sweat the small stuff.
