IBS and tummy tuck with muscle repair?

User Avatar

I have IBS-A and a mother of 5 and the majority of the time look 7 months pregnant due to flare ups even while on the low fodmaps diet. How will having IBS-A and a tummy tuck affect my recovery and will I likely have more pain with swelling after having muscle repair? Worried about a flare up during recovery and the bloating causing issues with healing.
