So I have only been on the pregnancy board of this forum but thought I would post this here.


I have a 2.5 year old and do not plan on havign any more children.

I am 5'7'' and about 200 lbs and want to get a tummy tuck since having him. I recently joined a gym and just curious what a reccommended amount of weight I should loose before presuing the operation!?

Why do you want to get a tummy tuck? How's the weight distributed around the rest of your body?

Did you mean your height is 57" which is 4 feet 9 inches? Or did you mean 5 feet 7 inches? If you're 5'7", 200 lbs. may not be too much. You could ask a plastic surgeon. Most of them offer a free initial consultation.

Ah-ha, It did go away. So I'm guessing that's what happened when you did it. So you're probably 5 feet 7 inches. I wonder if I put a space after the apostrophe, will it still disappear. 5' 7"
