nutrition reccomendations for plastic surgery

[Guest guest]

Hello!

I am fairly new to the group, and did a search of the archives but couldn't find

an answer to my question.

I have a patient who had gastric bypass several years ago, is doing well, has

been maintaining her weight for about 3 years now and wants to get a " tummy

tuck. "

Do you all have any specific nutritional recommendations, particularly post-op,

and then long-term?

Best regards,

I would be curious to know the response to this subject if anyone has any

information regarding it. Please share this information with me as well.

There were some studies published back in 2008.
