When should you have abdominoplasty?

I had a revision last July and have now lost 83 lbs. I am down to 177. I want to get down to 140, although once many years ago, I got down to 160 and looked good. Anyway, I want to have my tummy tuck this summer (if Aetna approves it) and was wondering if this can be done with still 35 lbs to lose. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I have my plastic surgeon consult on 5/28; I have Aetna HMO, if anyone can tell me about their experience with them regarding abdominoplasty, I would appreciate it. I would like to know how long it took to get approval. Thanks
