Pregnancy, TT, and Hernia repair

Okay.I am about 10 months post op and down 75 lbs.I am 20 lbs from goal but if I stayed where I am now I'd still be happy.I havent lost any weight in 3 months.I was planning on trying to get pregnant in January.Very excited about that .However now I have a HUGE HERNIA THE SIZE OF A CANTALOPE. Yuck.MY surgeon said I am ready for an abdominoplasty and when I went for my consultation with the plastic surgeon, he said no tummy tuck before pregnancy, but instead of doing the TT with the hernia repair,we could do a breast reduction with the hernia repair.So what I want to know is, what should the "order of operations " be?How soon after BR and HR could I reasonably wait till pregnancy?The hernia is so big that I LOOK pregnant now.Maybe I should adopt and get the tummy tuck.Noone would be the wiser. Will insurance(MVP) cover the TT if itis after the hernia repair?
