Am I candidate for tummy tuck at current weight and bmi? Would other docs agree with mine?

It sounds like you're
making a very good life decision to get back to a healthier weight.

Before you embark upon
surgery and it's always best to achieve a comfortable weight that you feel you
can maintain in your future without starving yourself.

I know many patients who
try crash diets, drugs or other fads to lose weight. These are generally
prone to failure. The only way to loose weight and keep it off is through
diet, exercise, and even sometimes behavior modification. You may wish to
consult with your internist or nutritionist to help put you on the right track.

Body mass index charts
can tell you where you should be, but getting there is the hard part.

A few things to remember
as you bark upon your weight loss program:

True healthy weight loss
takes time. Don't rush it.

Rail thin is not
always healthy either, seeking a comfortable and healthy weight.

Be sure that you can
maintain your weight loss for a number of months prior to surgery to prove that
your weight is stable.

Don't embark upon
surgery without being stable and without having adequate nutrition or you wont
heal well.

Even though you're not
at your goal weight yet consult with a plastic surgeon so that you can be
followed during the process. It will help to define your goals as you
consider your future surgical options.

If you need to lose weight to have a tummy tuck, I can't understand at all why a plastic surgeon would proceed with an augment/pexy. When you lose that much weight, it will have consequences for the breast surgery. If you are only eating veggies and drinking water, that weight is anomalous and perhaps you need medical work up.
