I'm a vegetarian and I plan on getting a tummy tuck, will that effect my healing process and cause me to heal slower?

Thank you for your question. Being vegetarian should not affect your healing. As long as you continue to eat a balanced diet with protein, you should be able to recover and heal fully. Good luck to you. 

Being a vegetarian would not slow your recovery. It is important to have enough protein in your diet but this can be accomplished without eating meat products. Best wishes.
