Is it absolutely imperative to maintain your weight for a while prior to having the surgery? If so, how long is recommended? I am in the process of losing weight and will need a body lift or tummy tuck once I hit my goal weight. I am wondering if I absolutely have to wait a period to show I can maintain the weight prior to surgery or if I would be able to move forward right away. If I must wait, how long would that be?
