Brief Answer:
should be fine for Nov 14th
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
As long as you had no complications from the September 14th surgery and you are stable medically it should be fine to have a knee surgery on November 14th.
The tummy tuck is a fairly simple surgery with a short recovery time in most people.
If you are not feeling well or if you are sick in any way then that would be another issue.
Make sure that your doctor doing the knee surgery knows about the tummy tuck. As long as they are okay with it, it should be fine.
I wish you the best.
