I had a gastric sleeve over a year ago and lost 80 lbs. My weight has stabilized at 15-20 pounds over what I should be for a normal BMI. I feel good at this weight. My biggest problem is my overhanging gut. I carry a lot of fat in my middle and have slim arms and legs. I am 5'8 and 182 pounds. Will a tummy tuck be right for me since I'm overweight? What kind do would be best? Will I end up with a very thick waist since I carry so much fat there? Not worried about scars, just want the gut gone!

Answer: Tummy Tuck I must congratulate you for the determination to lose the weight!!You have the two conditions to be a perfect candidate for Tummy Tuck and muscle repair: Saggy skin and loose muscle. These two procedures will create a beautiful flat abdomen and also a smaller ad tapered waist. I will add some liposuction to improve even more your results of course it will depend on what you want to achieve after your surgery. It is really important for you to know that your belly flap is tick and to prevent complication risks during your recovery I will encourage you to loose some pounds before your surgery as most of the remaining overweight is located in this area.
