Thanks for the posts!
No, he didn't base his calculations on how I look. That's ludicrous. I haven't been tested hydrostically, but I've had pinch tests and electric tests done numerous times since my surgery.
I wasn't asking for exact numbers or giving my own exact details, but that doesn't mean I don't have them. I'm not ecstatic with my numbers, but after being stable for so long, I'm starting to think that I've achieved everything I'm going to with diet and am ready to stop the "ok, when I lose another 30 lbs., I'll get a tummy tuck" mindset.
What I'm trying to determine is whether a surgeon will support me in this new mindset or they will be likely to say "nope, you need to have a normal BMI before plastics."
I know they usually need for you to be stable in your weight loss and not still rapidly LOSING...was just wondering if anyone went in and had a doctor say "ok, great, let's do this tummy tuck on you once you get down to 23% body fat or a BMI of no more than 24."
Of course I will adhere to whatever the particular surgeon I choose says, I'm just trying to get an idea before I go in since it will probably be a few months until I do.
