I am 23 and interested in a BBL. I have had crohns since I was 16. I have been on a Remicade infusion and take it every 6 weeks. I have not been hospitalized in almost 2 years. I have mild flare ups sometimes, less than often. Am I still a good candidate?

Answer: BBL with Crohn's Hello m.cokex, as long as you are otherwise a good candidate (ie, no other medical problems, acceptable height/weight, etc), and you don't have an acute flair of your crohn's, you should be ok to have a BBL. However, you would want your plastic surgeon to be in communication with your GI doc both to get the ok and to help manage your medication regimen in the perioperative period. You could probably plan to have the procedure toward the latter end of your injection interval. Hope this helps! Thanks, Brian

Answer: Being a candidate for a BBL My best guess is that your gastroenterologist might consider giving you clearance for an elective surgical procedure if this is something very important to you.
