buggie what is YOUR goal weight? you don't have to tell me but want you to think before you get the tummy tuck. I would get down to the weight YOU want before getting it. suppose you lose more weight and likely you will then you would have to go back and do it all over again. how tall are you? unless you are very tall then I think the goal you dr has set for you is a little on the high side. just my thoughts hon. I want the best for you. I know you have been working very very hard for this! good luck on this but please think before you do it.
