In 6months, I'm having tummy tuck surgery in Mexico which i found in placidway. Is it advisable to loose extra weight now? However, I can only loose about  5kg. because after that, my weight won't budge.

If you are not where you want to be, you would have better results if you lost weight prior to your tummy tuck. If you are fine where you are, don't worry about it. If you gain or lose 10+ pounds after your tummy tuck, it can really mess up the results. Good luck!!

Well, it is good if you can lose weight. Since it is advisable to get close to your ideal weight before a tummy tuck, as it will help you more satisfy with the results of your surgery since continued weight loss can create loose or sagging skin, even after a tummy tuck.
