I can lose weight fast and gain weight fast lol- honestly I just eat super healthy and cut my calories down and the pounds for me shed right off after usually 2 months I then start to incorporate exercise but change of diet first

I'm currently scheduled for tummy tuck and breast lift (hoping without implants) TT includes lipo of the flanks - Dr said I can return 4-5 months for BBL- just hate that I have to fly to FL twice, pay childcare, airfare, and recovery house twice plus lose out on work both times I'm currently 5'8 230 lbs- I need to lose about 50lbs before my surgery And I believe in myself that I will get there !!!

Why couldn't bbl be included on first trip

Im not exactly sure why- it was just recommended to me that way- most doctors don't want to keep u under anesthesia for too long so probably for best results he needs his time - most times it isn't recommended to get too many procedures done at once

Florida has laws that limit how much lipo you can have if you are combining with other surgeries :( They can only take out 1000 cc if you're having other surgeries at the same time.

Did they tell you you have to drop 50 lbs I'm scheduled in July for tt I'm currently 243 and 5'6 and the hardes part is loosing the weight for me what are your plan you have some time I don't know what to do at this point

The doc didn't tell you that you needed to lose lbs so have ur BMI under 35%? Because in the state of FL with outpatient surgery BMI has to be 35 & under. I'm curious if anyone told you anything about losing?
May 19, 2016
He said I should be around 190 for best results plus ur BMI for surgery needs to be less than 32- the lower the better, the less complications -
