Recovered bulimic having a nose job. Is a month and three weeks enough recovery time for my blood tests to be ok?

Question

I was bulimic and using laxatives for one year. I have recovered and haven’t done either in one month and three weeks. I’m very healthy now and eat a very well balanced diet and take multivitamins daily. Physically and mentally I feel and look great (healthy). I’m scheduled for a nose job and I have my blood tests tomorrow. Is a month and three weeks enough recovery time for my blood tests to be ok?

Good nutrition, particularly protein balance, is important for proper healing from surgery.You should speak with your surgeon about your concern very open and candidly, and if necessary, he/she can order proper tests for you.Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search.

It varies a lot! In my opinion it seems you have a lot going on and there is no reason to undergo unnecessary risks for an elective procedure. Make sure you labs are perfect prior to surgery. Best of luck!

This is the purpose of pretesting. It will disclose whether your blood components have caught up with your recovery. Good luck!

Paul N. Afrooz, MD · Answer

If your condition had an effect that would show up in your blood work, such as electrolyte imbalances, there is a good possibility that it will have resolved in this amount of time.  However, the purpose of the blood work is to detect imbalances or deficiencies to ensure your safety prior to surgery.
