Asked By:missgetmeback in Houston, TX

I have been in the site for about two weeks and finally joined today. I haven't actually picked a doctor yet but i do have one in mind. I just can't decide on whether or not I want to fly after my surgery. So my question is how safe is to fly after a tummy tuck and how long should i wait after my surger. If anyone can help me out with this i would really appreciate it.
