I Have Lupus, My Rheumatologist Has Given Me a Green Light for a Mommy Makeover?

I was diagnosed with lupus three years ago. I've lost 50 pounds in six months. I work out 3 to 5 times a week. I'm on a low dose of prednisone...5mgs. Three weeks ago it was taken down to 2.5mgs. My rheumatologist said I would be okay for surgery. She says once I get a schedule surgery date she would stop the prednisone. She says the plaquenil I take 200 mg twice a day would not effect surgery.
