I Have Been Put on Hormone Replacement by my Endo Doc Do I Have to Stop Before TT?

Yes, there will be best to stop hormonal therapy prior to undergoing tummy tuck surgery. Your endocrinologist will be a best resource when it comes to timing to stop the medications;  obviously, avoidance of thromboembolic events will be everyone's concerns/priorities. The use of compression stockings and early ambulation will be emphasized.

 Best wishes for a uneventful/successful procedure and recovery period.

Stuies have shown that use of birth control pills or hormone replacement can increase the risk of developing a blood clot in the legs.  There are no studies with tummy tucks that demonstrate a decrese of risk when the hormones are discontinued ahead of time. Not all plastic surgeons would instruct their patients to discontinue.  Since there is no harm in coming off hormones, only inconvenience, why not be as safe as possible?

Most experienced surgeons do not worry about the conduct of their surgeries; they have done hundreds or thousands of the procedures and are confident of the outcomes.

However every single surgeon fears blood clots.

So do everything your surgeon recommends to minimize the risk of blood clots, including stopping hormone replacement.

Although it is inconvenient, maybe you will be the one who avoids a blood clot by this relatively easy step.
