Tummy Tuck & Lipo with high BMI?

User Avatar
MrsMata
I previously had lap band surgery & am down about 100lbs. But I am 5'10 / 255 lbs. And that hasn't changed with diet or exercise in about a year. I am also a little "wide". I am interested in getting Lipotuck done. Pesky back fat & this huge fat curtain that just hangs over my pelvic area. My BMI currently says it is 36.6. In order for me to hit 30.8 I need to drop 40 lbs. But I've been at a plateau for a year. I don't see it happening. Can I still get the procedure done?
