This is always a thought in my mind, I had always been chubby, had a good first sized baby (8#10) via section, then term twins via vbac (combined weight of 13#10, fraternal so all that too). I never gained much preg weight (18 for number 1 and 23 for the twins) but I was already 40# overweight. I have no DR. Now I am in a normal weight range, near 50, and have a panni, but at 135# and 5"3" I have a lot of visible body fat. I would guess that I could lose 15# from around my middle before I could even justify a tuck. Fortunately back in the day I was an RN and saw way too many thing go wrong that I probably will stick to compression wear, but if I jump rope,. things flap. I have asked my NP and she said no insurance company would be interested even if it were function over form, Like has been mentioned, risk in tucks might be increased when nutrition related, for people who lose weight in a non surgical and healthy way, one assumes the risks of post op healing would be optimal if you eat a good diet with protein and fresh foods. I always thought I would get a tuck and a hyster and a magic op that would tighten my pelvic floor, but the older I get the more I realise that this is not very likely LOL. I suppose my total weight loss was about 65-70 pounds. Ig you go ahead I would be really interested, my state has a lot pf plastic surgeons and apparently is pretty competitive $ wise. But I too want to know the impact on exercise. I still fell my section scar even 17yrs later.
