extra skin and fat

I am now at 187 and am 5 foot 6 inch.. my doctor says only lose another 7 lbs before tummy tuck but I feel I still have a lot of fat in my mid section. its still very thick and full.. has anyone else had this issue. If I lose what I feel I could lose in my mid section I would drop another 20 - 30 lbs which would put me at 150 before surgery for skin removal. then drop another 20lbs after that will put me at 130.. is that normal...

 I'm sorry but I can't help LAUGHING when u ask a COMMUNITY of FAT/Former Fat ppl if they have issue with the mid-section fat - very thick and full.........I say hell yeah....But not everyone has the money to fix it.  I think your body dictates how much will be lost (Of course how hard u work at it as well) but it can go either way.  I didn't make it to my goal weight but was happy and looking good at 175 for my height..my dr predicted 147 but it didn't kill to be where I was.  So don't fret if you don't make it to dr goal...or a certain weight - unless u want to..just be comfortable with what you can make it too. Relax.....lol

Ty so much... I didn't even notice that I did that LOL
