Should I wait until goal (28 more lbs.) before getting a tummy tuck consult?

Hi! I would like to get a tummy tuck around August of this year, but am 28 lbs. from my goal. Since I am going to try to get insurance approval (which could be a lengthy process) and am planning an October wedding, should i start this process now? Should i get a consult done now, or wait until i lose the 28 lbs before i go in? because of the length of time it could take for my insurance to approve me, i wouldn't want to start this process in June, and end up having approval/surgery coincide with my wedding. And of course, i would prefer to have my tummy tuck BEFORE the big day (so i can look my best). What do you think? (Open PROXIMAL Rny, 7/7/03, 227/155/127)
