I had my bypass 5 1/2 months ago and have lost 113lbs, currently 224 down from 337. I am really disgusted with all of the loose skin on my stomache and thighs. I think that I will probably reach my goal of 180 - 190lbs by next March. My question is, how long after weight loss has stopped should I wait to have cosmetic surgery?

but my surgeon recommended the weight be stable for at least 3 months and no sooner than 12 months out. If i do it (its on the table but probly not) i think i will be at least 18 months post op. It depends on you too and any skin issues that arrise.

My Dr said to wait 18 months post op and to be stable weight for atleast six months.I will tell you that although I have not lost any weight for about 19 months my body is still changing.

The plastic surgeon who did my surgery wanted me to be 12-18 months post-op but preferably more like 18 months and have had a stable weight for 3 months. I just had my plastic surgery 4 weeks ago and I was 20 months post-op and my weight had been stable for 5 months.
