Asked By:Kait3789 in Baltimore, MD

I am having a breast aug. June 13. I have a 18 month old. Before I had her, I never weighed more than 115 lbs. Now, I am 5'1 and 140 lbs. I plan on losing 10 lbs before my BA. My Dad, a doctor, told me that he thinks my PA will not let me get my BA until I am 15 lbs lighter. Other than the extra lbs., I am very healthy, I don't smoke, I exercise, normal blood pressure, etc. Have you ever denied someone from having surgery, who was healthy, just for being 10 or 15 lbs. from their ideal weight?
