Tummy Tuck while lactating, is it okay to pump and dump after the surgery?

Asked By:unicornmomto5 in Charlotte, NC

I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck next month and am still lactating. I have lost all pregnancy weight, my weight is stable and I am fine with not providing breastmilk for my baby after surgery. Is it okay for me to provide milk for him until my surgery and pump and dump the milk after surgery? I may not have the opportunity to have this much needed surgery in the future.
