Asked By:ruvimbo.dube in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am having a breast reduction surgery and liposuction on the abdomen and flanks this December. However, I am considering and planning on having a Gastric Sleeve. Would February 2023 be too soon to have another surgery? If not, how much time is safe and recommended for me to wait. I am 5'9' and 220lbs which puts my BMI at 32.
