Pregnancy or plastic surgery 1st?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am 35 years old, and my husband is 40. I had my LapRNY on 9/6/02

and have lost about 157 pounds (from 383 to 226). I am 5'6 " tall. My

bariatric surgeon has said that he'd like me to get down to around 200

before having plastic surgery (which should get rid of like 30 more

pounds), so I am starting to look into it (I have a consultation on

2/17). I will need my arms done, breast lift & possibly implants, and

also a lower body lift, and my inner thighs done.

I had a miscarriage in 2001, and I have a fairly large uterine fibroid

which *may* have caused it.....others causes could have been that I

weighed 350 at the time, or that it just plain wasn't mean to be (they

never did find a heartbeat for 11 weeks).

Anyway, all babbling aside, my question is this.....should I have my

PS done first, or get pregnant first?

I *was* thinking, primarily due to our age, to get pregnant first, but

after thinking about it more, I don't really feel mentally ready to

try again yet, and I'd really like to get " fixed up " first, because I

feel like I've come so far, and I don't want to stop now!

If I have plastic surgery first, how badly will pregnancy mess it all

up? Surely it can't get as bad as it is now (LOL).

I hope all of this made sense, and that someone has some

advice/answers for me.

Thanks a bunch, in advance!
