Bowel prep & liquid diet pre surgery for tummy tuck?

October 21, 2015
Asked By:fitstar in Spain, ES

Read conflicting info on a bowel prep and luquid diet some days prior to tummy tuck as this will result in less food in my intestines so the organs and stomach will be flatter to help the surgeon pulling my ab muscles extremely tight?
