Has anyone had an abdominoplasty at 7-8 months post-op

I am 5 1/2 months post-op and only 25lbs from goal. I have lost a total of 105lbs and am hoping to weigh in at 150lbs when I reach goal. I am still losing steadily, about 3-4 pounds per week so I'm hoping to reach goal by about Halloweeen. My question is...is there anyway to keep from losing more weight if I were to have a tummy tuck at about 8 months post-op. I have had four children and I have an apron and terrible stretch marks so I know there isn't anyway that my skin will bounce back. My doctor doesn't want me to lose anymore than 25 more lbs maximum so if I go ahead and get my tt then with an RNY would it be possible to maintain that weight and keep from losing more after the TT. Just curious because I have insurance ending at the first of the year and want to try and get approval before then. Also, I have famiy coming from out of town for a few months and can help me with the kids while I recover. Thanks for any input! Denise Open RNY 3/20/03-280/175/150
