Im currently on antibiotics and not in any pain, just extremely bloated. From the ct scan, the size of my appendix is around 7-8mm. I dont have an active infection. My gastroenterologist tells me that an appendectomy is my choice. Should i go ahead and get it done before my ba? Or would it be okay to proceed with my ba? I was also planning to do tummy lipo together with the ba, will that be possible as well?
