I am becoming more and more disgusted by myself each and everyday. I really would like to get a tummy tuck and breast lift. I was just wondering how long after weight loss surgery did everyone have their plastic surgery done. thanks

You should wait until your weight has stabilized, which should be at 2 years post-WLS. Figure 18 month window for losing, and 6 months of maintenance.

I was told when your weight has stabilized for 3 months.  I was 15 months out when I got my TT.  I had stabilized for 4 months prior.

Dr's are different with their requirements.  You are close to reaching your goal - get a consulatation (its  not too early) and see how the the Dr feels about it.

I had my arms done 15 months post-op.  I couldn't stand them any longer.  If I could have afforded having more done then I would have.
