I was 301lbs and now 240lbs still 36% BMI. Meanwhile I want this asymmetry dealt with. I've had 3 consultations with local doctors. The doctors didn't make me feel confident they knew how to deal with these upper pockets of fat with a regular TT No fleur de lis please. I've had to pay for my consultations and I don't want to pay for another one unless the doctor has worked with this issue. Please someone help
Currently 31, 55 240 over the last 2 years I gained 40 lbs , was originally a very active 200 pounder and lifted weights and went to the gym frequently , until I got bilateral carpal tunnel and couldnt do much with my hands. Im now starting to work out on a daily basis and eat better.Im considering getting some work done since I have the funds to do so now. Ive seen similar body types with the same BMI that turned out good ,so I really just wanted honest advice .
I am interested in getting a tummy tuck and 360 lipo as well as a breast reduction. I know most doctors have a cut off BMI of 40 but is this a strict cut off? I carry most of my weight in my abdomen with so much loose skin after weight loss and having a c-section. But I also weight lift and the BMI number seems like it can be thrown off by factors such as that. I have a consultation in January so hoping to lose a little more weight prior to that. Current BMI is 42. Height 53. 240 lbs.
I am 34 year old at 54 and 245 pounds seeking a tummy tuck. Ive been told no by a few surgeons without consultation due to my BMI. However, my PCP has given me a surgery clearance as I have no known health problems. I have lost 127 pounds and had 5 pregnancies with 3 cesareans. I have maintained my current weight for just short of five years now.
I'm 5'11 and 249 lbs. After pregnancy, I have a hanging mass of skin, fat, and stretch marks. I went from 186 lbs to 277 lbs. I have zero elasticity, and 1 week after I had my daughter, I had dropped from 277 lbs to 231 lbs. I am still overweight and currently trying to lose the weight, but I have this hanging mass on my stomach of stretch marks and fat. It's horrific. I want a tummy tuck and have done a lot of research, but how much will it cost me? How much do I need to lose before I should have the surgery? I don't accept blood at all, is that a concern?
Im looking for some info on a tummy tuck would I be able to get one at 240 pounds I'm 5'11. I also have factor 5 which i know factors in greatly. I have lost 80 pounds In a year and still losing weight and working out but this hanging stomach holds me back at times. I do plan on losing a little more weight. Unless I have to lose alot more before I'm able to get the surgery
