I am 29 pounds from goal and I am thinking about a tummy tuck when I get to goal. I am just not sure how long I should wait to get it done. I set my goal at 140 and think I will be happy at that.
    
I thank my great husband and kids for being my rock.

A reputable plastic surgeon will recommend approximately 18 months AFTER your weight has stablized before doing plastics.  Don't rush into it, your long-term results will be disappointing until you are sure you won't be losing or having any bounce back weight.

 I agree.  I set my goal at 140, too, but continued losing to 120.  You are a lightweight, too, so you may end up lower then you think.  You may also have some bounce back weight after that and still wind up at 140.

I had an extended Tummy tuck and arm lift on Tuesday.

My surgeon wanted me at goal and to have kept 100 pounds off for 12 months.  I am 26 months post RNY.

Don't ru****  They make your tummy really tight and if you lose more you may be unhappy with results.

Do you plan on any pregnancies?  That will make a difference, too.

You might want to cross post on the plastic surgery forum to get more replies.

Best wishes.
