does everyone end up needing a tummy tuck?



Recommended Posts

as im reading through the boards, im seeing that lots of people have had, or are having tummy tucks after theyve lost the majority of their weight.

is this an inevitability? im especially interested in those with a BMI over 50, as i am in that boat, but i would like to hear from everyone. :smile2:

You will need a Tummy Tuck if your BMI is over 50 and you knock it down to under 30 and you want to have a flat abdomen.

This of course if something in my ever so humble opinion should not even be considered until you near that point.

I don't know about everyone, but I'm in the 40-range for BMI, and know I will need to have MANY things tucked! I am already working on picking out a plastic surgeon--and I'm not even banded yet. (A week from tomorrow--yay!)
