I'm 55 years old and beside high cholesterol (which I'm taking medication for it) and back pain, I am healthy. I have scheduled a breast reduction and tummy tuck surgery on Jan. 8th 2013. My family wants to travel for a week within the State we live in and returning one week before the surgery. I am worried if I get sick or my immune system weakens. What do you think? Is this a wise decision? Also what should I avoid or do prior to surgery to improve the outcome? Thanks. Melody 55
