Do I need to disclose to a cosmetic surgeon that I used to suffer from bulimia before going in for a tummy tuck consultation?

Asked By:EmmySha in Ontario, CA

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?
