Default Doctors evaluation & TT

Well I went for my check up yesterday and the doctor is very pleased with the weight I have lost. He actually didn't think I would lose as much as I have. My doctor said he doesn't want me to lose any more weight cause I had been so sick, and if I lose much more and become sick I won't have any substance to fall back on, and that could be a real bad thing. We also discusses my options on tummy tucks and thigh lifts ect... He said I am a great canidate for the tt and other skin removal, skin rashes was docummented and he said if I wanted he would refer me to the doctor he uses for almost all his patients. He also told me that my vitamin levels must ALL be stable before he will give me t he consent for more surgery, with that being said I now have to go through more blood work today. I have been extremly exhauseted and don't know why, he is worried about my vit. levels. I want to have the tt and other areas lifted, but I think I might wait until I am out of school for all this to be done. Well any one out there got any info fo me, or suggestion on what maybe I should do about the tt feel free to let me know.

I would suggest waiting until school is out. If you've read Rain & Amber's threads about their TT, it seems like it really took it out of both of them for a while. But I'm glad to hear you're getting the work done!
