Has anyone had a tummy tuck at 6 months post-op?

I've been having quite a bit of pain in my belly button area and went to see my doctor. She discovered that I have a very large hernia that will need to be taken care of. I also have a large pannus and I know that I will need some type of reconstructive surgery in the future. I would like to get the hernia taken care of ASAP, and am wondering if I should go ahead and get a tummy tuck at the same time, for insurance issues. I am 6 months out and have lost 100 pounds and am 25 pounds from my personal goal and 45 pounds from my surgeon's designated goal weight. I'm wondering if anyone has had a tummy tuck this early in the game. Thanks. Paulette
