Can I have two surgeries done within a week or two of each other?

June 13, 2016
Asked By:Caroline899 in Connecticut, CT

I need to have laporoscopic surgery on my lower abdomen to remove adhesions from multiple surgeries and septic shock (went through alot a few years ago). I have also wanted to get a breast augmentation for a while now. Is it realistic to get these two surgeries done close to each other to minimize my time out of work? I will obviously talk with both doctors but wanted to know if this sounded crazy before I ask! Thank you in advance.
