How long do you have to wait for your weight to stabilize before you have surgery?  I want to do it after one year.  What do doctors require?

Drs are different.  I hit my goal in July of '09 and my surgeon in Oct told me I could start looking into it.  I had my TT in Jan of '10.

Now - some words of advice.  Let your body redistribute as it will.  It won't fill in the parts you hate, but I've found that I have redistributed (and even bounced back 5 lbs) and its made a difference at how I look at myself.

No, my panni would always have been flopping and my "girls" would never be perky, but the butt and legs have filled in some...
