I'm 5 ft. 7 inches tall, my current weight is 148lbs. I tend to fluctuate between 140-150. My surgeon said it'd be great if I could lose 5lbs. because "he could get more and get me tighter, but that it's not a big deal if I don't." I'm thinking that I don't really want to be terribly tight, because my recovery might be easier, and can lose the 5 after my procedure, but what do I know. Should I lose the 5 lbs? Does it matter? Will it effect outcome or recovery either way?
