I made an apt. to have a mommy makeover. I take Vyvanse for almost 2 years. I did not see this medicine on the "stop one month prior" to surgery and called the clinic (3mth away). The coordinator will have the Dr. call me and she made it sound that this might be a no go: blood pressure/ EKG alteration. My primary Dr. gave me the clear. Now I'm wondering, do patients that take this or other similar medicine do what? What would the doctor have to say? Remember: no other health issues ever!

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have had. Surgery can be helpful to correct the concerns you have, but an examination and review of your medical history is needed to determine if you are a candidate. These procedures are considered cosmetic and are typically not covered by insurance.
Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! To answer your question, the travel restrictions that the surgeons you spoke with mentioned are probably due to concerns about blood clots. Overseas travel generally involves long plane flights with extended periods of sitting, which can put you at risk...
Your surgeon and his team are the best people to ask this question to. Every patient is different and has a different medical history. Holistic medicine is used in certain situations but nothing should be used without asking your surgeon, first.
