how long before you had PS
Hi. I am new to this board and had a question. I am 8 months out and have lost almost 100 pounds. I have about another 10 -15 that I want to lose. I am switching jobs and have sick time I need to use or I lose it. I am going for a consult for a TT and wondered how long everyone waited to have theirs done. I know most say a year but has anyone had it at 8 months out. It is truely a time issue. If I don't do it now it will be a VERY long time before I am able to get it done. Thanks for your input.
REally? You think I'm going to keep losing that much? I have been in the mid 160's for the last month now and don't seem to be budging. My goal is 150 so the thought of 130 seems very foreign to me. I know that 8 months out is pretty early. Im grateful for the advice from those of you farther along in your journey.
I was 2 years out from RNY and my weight had been stable for a year. I do have a friend who had aTT at the one year post RNY mark and she did great. Most PS that I know of do not want to do PS as long as you still want to lose weight.... it can mess up the results.
Good luck!

I have a very good friend who had extensive plastics (arms/lbl) at 7 months out and two years later it looks better than any plastics I have seen. You would never, ever guess that this person had been overweight. The scars have even faded to where they are not noticeable. I am 5 years out from RNY, have had two postop c-sections, the most recent of which was 8 months ago. Having my tt/bl/ba next Wednesday.
Good Luck!
P.S. I think that if your only choice is to do it now, go ahead. It's not ideal, but it can be done!
