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

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?

Thanks for your question, you need to be seen and have a complete evaluation before we can give you any recommendation, surgery itself can make your nose dry for short period of time or longer, incomplete reduction of blocking structure can also cause blockage of airway. good luck!
