February 22, 2023
Asked By:alee027 in Arizona

8mo post op WLS (down 60lbs) and currently still loosing slowly. BIM is currently at 32. Do I have to wait one year post-op or if I'm at the appropriate BMI can I schedule surgery soon? Not sure which procedure would be better. My problem areas are my stomach and hips, loose skin. I prefer less procedures as possible due to recovery time. What do you recommend? MMO or ETT w/ possible breast lift w/ implants. No kids and don't plan on having children.
