I am you but no doc will do it unless you drop some of the weight on your own. Also, stand back - lots of self righteous posters here will decry your efforts and tell you to put on sneakers and shut your mouth. [ Reply | More

I think it's done to lose those pounds that just won't budge after trying diet and exercise - the "problem" areas that most of us have. Not for major weight loss. [ Reply | More

My mother's plastic surgeon would not do her tummy tuck/lipo until she was within 10% of her goal weight (I think he based it on BMI and her body type). I think she lost about 10lbs from the procedures, she wouldn't tell me how much it cost, said it was ridiculously expensive but she really happy after - has not regained the weight. [ Reply | More
