Another TT thread I know.
A brief intro my name is John I have gone from 24 stone 6 down to 15 st 10 in the last 7 months,and have been referred by my GP for a tummy tuck without question really I was amazed I thought I would have to practice the old water works but he absolutely agreed that for my build I am pretty much at goal weight I am a big guy anyway I spent all of my weight loss lifting weights like a madman and used to be a shot putter even at my fattest I was always bigger at the chest and shoulders than the waist,I was wondering how long between putting this forward have people had to wait ,I saw the doc 3 weeks ago and the wait is killing me,I feel like I am standing still waiting to hear about a consultation or whatever,and I keep hearing so many rumours and keep thinking have I lost enough weight?,is my BMI too high? am I still too fat? there seems to be different stories every time you read something else I am panicking because some people have them straight away others have to maintain and whos to say the BMI charts are accurate I mean I fit into the same 36" waist jeans as my 12 stone cousin.I started off with a 58" waist and 62" chest and am now at a 37" round the belly button and 48" at the chest and apart from the lower stomach hang I wouldnt consider myself fat anymore.Have I done enough?This anticipation is worse than being fat no one tells you about this when you start
I just feel like this is the final step of a journey that is impossible to finish on my own and if I dont get it or even hear about the consultation I dont know where to go because if I keep losing weight I will be smaller than I want to be and I cant improve the lower stomach anyway so why keep going.
Sorry for the long rant but I feel a bit lost at the minute
