2 weeks until my plastics!

Best wishes!  I hope you get everything you want from this process. 

As an aside, I thought I've read people say that you can't have plastics until you've been in maintainence quite a while. Was there a required amount of time?

I sent him my pictures in late May / early June.  At that point I didn't have much to lose left.  He was comfortable booking for early Nov based on that.  Some of his patients have said he wanted them to maintain for 6 months.  I've been solid around this weight for 3 months.
