(p90x) Lost 40lbs..am I ready for surgery or should I go for another 40lbs?

[p90xblackman]

I was 300lbs (now 265) prior to doing p90x. I have seen alot of difference in every part of my body, but not so much in the chest. Im on week 9 of the program. Think im mostly concerned with the fat under my arm thats not changing much. Will the surgery get rid of that as well?

(Baltimore MD recommendations?)

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Congrats on your weight loss.  I have had several patients do extremely well on P90X.

As for changes in your chest -- truth is, do not expect too much improvement.  The fat that is there may reduce a bit but you also have breast tissue, which does not respond to weight loss.

Best recommendation:  Continue with your weight loss regimen until you are at your best and most comfortable weight.  Then consult a gyne specialist to see what your options are for appropriate gyne surgery.Good luck!

Print out the Doctor's recommendation and post it where you will see it, preferably several times a day.
