I haven't purged in over a year and am very healthy. I am scared if I do I will be turned down for surgery but want to be honest. Will they operate on someone who is healthy weight but is a former eating disorder sufferer?
Answer: Best to be honest with your surgeon Your current physical and mental health are more important to consider than your history with bulimia. If you are generally healthy physically and mentally at this moment, then you’re still a possible candidate. However, for the sake of being honest and open, you should still let your surgeon know regardless.

Answer: Do I need to disclose to a cosmetic surgeon that I used to suffer from bulimia before going in for a tummy tuck consultation? Yes, it is important that you disclose all of your past medical history with your plastic surgeon. It is likely that the former eating disorder will not prohibit you from proceeding. Best wishes.

He will be glad to help you and discuss your options, your previous history of bulimia won´t affect the decision or the surgery. Best Regards

Answer: Tummy Tuck A tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure and you should discuss and disclose a complete medical history to your surgeon, as you would for any general anesthesia procedure. A past history of bulimia should not affect the outcome.

Answer: Do I need to disclose to a cosmetic surgeon that I used to suffer from bulimia before going in for a tummy tuck consultation? Good day, Ideally its important to disclose all pertinent information to your surgeon, however they can not refuse you for this reason alone. If you are healthy, and eating well, a good healthy and safe weight, then there should be not reason to refuse you. What's most important is that you do not take on your old habbits because the vomiting post tummy tuck can undo the sutures that are below the skin and given and undesired result. Also a proper healthy diet is imperative for wound healing. Thank you
