Asked By:Best body in Toronto, ON

My BMI is 26.9 and I'm going to have my tummy tuck and breast reduction on 28th July 2016. I am trying hard to lose weight but this time I'm just stuck in 142 pounds. My ideal weight should be below 128 pounds . Is it ok to go for tummy tuck with 27 BMI or I should lose another 10 pounds in next two weeks ?
