Need Help - I need a tummy tuck early post-op

My start weight was almost 500 and I have lost about 120 in the past 4 months. I have a very large pendulous abdomen and now my skin has less fat but is hanging more. Any time I do a lot of walking (like on the treadmill) I get a rash on my legs. I've always gotten rashes under my belly, but now its primarily on my upper thighs. This weekend was so bad I could barely move at times - the rash even bleeds! My question is: Should I look into getting some of this removed now? And what are my chances? I know I'll need a tummy tuck when I'm down to the 200's but I am in such agony - I don't know what I should do....your help...PLEASE!!
