Is it ok to have a tummy tuck if I might have lupus?

Asked By:mslisa2010 in Montgomery, AL

Earlier in the year I scheduled a tummy tuck. Since that time I had medical issues come up and am believed to have Lupus, altho the last ANA test I had came back negative. The doctor started me on an anti maleria drug use for Lupus to see if my symptoms went away. I have been on the medication for a month now and several of my symptoms have gotten better. I don't see the specialist again until a few day before my planned surgery. Is it safe to move forward with my tummy tuck?
