Asked By:lisalaw4 in Little York, IN

I'm scheduled for liposuction of Abd/flanks/back/inner/outer/ and front thigh. My internal medicine MD thinks I might have colitis and wanted to treat me for 7 days of Flagyl. Will this interfere with lipo. I've been afebrile the entire time and only had diarrhea for 1 day. Do you think this might interfere getting lipo?
