Asked By:Punkybrew777 in Atlanta, GA

I am having Austin and tailors bunion surgery on my left foot (2.5 hr under general anesthesia). Taking off 8.5 weeks. Have decided to do breast revision (2 hr under general anesthesia) a months after the foot surgery. Now I just found out I have to have a leep procedure done on my cervix (1 hr under general). Is it safe to do all of these in 2 months? If I space it out 4 weeks each? I just can't afford to take any more time off from work.
