jumping the gun on reconstructive surgery?

Hi! I have a plastic surgery question.I started at 274 pounds 9 months ago and I'm at 160 right now.I'm definately going to need a tummy tuck eventually so I've been reading info on it.I still have alot of fat in that area and I don't feel like I'm at goal yet as I'm still losing weight and I would like to lose at least another 25 pounds so I don't want to jump the gun so to speak.This is what I'm confused about though....I've seen where other people are getting tummy tucks at 160,170 and even 190 pounds.I can understand a panni removal at that weight but those seem to be high weights for a tummy tuck.I'm just curious as to why someone wouldn't want to wait until they were at a lower weight?
