 Looks like your quite a ways out. If your labs look ok ask the blood people. If they say ok go for it. If you labs are not ok take care of yourself first.

my 2cents worth

 Probably want to check with your surgeon on that. I've heard a range of absolutely no to after a year post-op.

I am over 4 years post op. Not 4 months. I would not do it. It is hard enough to make sure my tests come out good - in a med range..... just OK is not good enough.

 I know around here in Ohio they won't allow you to donate plasma if you have had surgery within a year.

My surgeon is one *****commends that we NOT donate blood, but she  never specifically mentioned plasma.  I would definitely not do it less than about 9 months out, though, since your body may have more difficulty replenishing itself because of your nutritional status.
