Im 5'5 about 178lbs. I was 209lbs. I have an apple body shape & I'm scheduled to get a tummy tuck in about 7 weeks. My goal weight is 165lbs but I dont know that I will make it. Based on my schedule, I took this summer off to have this surgery & I don't want to cancel it.

Answer: Ideal weight before tummy tuck Congratulations on losing so much weight! I would recommend waiting until you reach your ideal weight before getting a tummy tuck. This is because depending on your body type and size, you may find that losing that last 13 pounds further affects your body contour. You should reach your goal weight and then get the tummy tuck, since you can address all of the loose skin you may have developed. That way, you will be happier with the results and they won't be negatively affected by your further expected weight loss.If another 13 pounds is actually unrealistic for you, and you're just "pushing it", then it might be better to pursue a tummy tuck now if you've been at this weight for a while. However, please ask your surgeon for their advice.
