Unless you are at goal it seems foolish. Should you have plastic surgery before goal (and assuming you reach goal) you'll need more surgery later.

This is the original poster. I am less than 20 pounds away from goal. I really want to have a tt done ASAP, because I am having pain from my hernia.

Hi Lisa, I had my tummy tuck/hernia in June of 2002, had my wls Oct of 2001, I had lost 90 pds at that time, but needed so badly to get rid of the huge apron I had, and I knew something was wrong because I couldn't stand very long without pain, so when they started the tummy tuck, they found a huge hernia, so I am so glad to have had it done it makes all the difference in the world for your self esteem and in your clothes. Best of everything to you, Susie -125pds and losing only have 10 or so to reach goal.

If your within 20 pounds of your goal weight, you can have plastic surgery now. I was within 15 pounds of my goal weight when I had my done. I was 9 months post-op Lap RNY. I'm VERY pleased with the results. Go for it!!
