I am looking for a Dr in the DMV area who is willing to do a plus size tummy tuck i am 34 5'4 and weigh 237. I had lap band surgery in 2009 and lost 60lbs. I am happy being a plus size woman in just want the hanging skin on my stomach gone. I don't want to loose any more weight because i don't want all the loose skin and want to keep my womanly shape. I am not looking for perfection i just want to be comfortable in my own skin again so someone please help me!!
I was 301lbs and now 240lbs still 36% BMI. Meanwhile I want this asymmetry dealt with. I've had 3 consultations with local doctors. The doctors didn't make me feel confident they knew how to deal with these upper pockets of fat with a regular TT No fleur de lis please. I've had to pay for my consultations and I don't want to pay for another one unless the doctor has worked with this issue. Please someone help
Currently 31, 55 240 over the last 2 years I gained 40 lbs , was originally a very active 200 pounder and lifted weights and went to the gym frequently , until I got bilateral carpal tunnel and couldnt do much with my hands. Im now starting to work out on a daily basis and eat better.Im considering getting some work done since I have the funds to do so now. Ive seen similar body types with the same BMI that turned out good ,so I really just wanted honest advice .
I am interested in getting a tummy tuck and 360 lipo as well as a breast reduction. I know most doctors have a cut off BMI of 40 but is this a strict cut off? I carry most of my weight in my abdomen with so much loose skin after weight loss and having a c-section. But I also weight lift and the BMI number seems like it can be thrown off by factors such as that. I have a consultation in January so hoping to lose a little more weight prior to that. Current BMI is 42. Height 53. 240 lbs.
I am 34 year old at 54 and 245 pounds seeking a tummy tuck. Ive been told no by a few surgeons without consultation due to my BMI. However, my PCP has given me a surgery clearance as I have no known health problems. I have lost 127 pounds and had 5 pregnancies with 3 cesareans. I have maintained my current weight for just short of five years now.
