Would abdominoplasty be out of the question for me? (Photo)

Asked By:chubbybunny08 in Calabasas, CA

Would abdominoplasty be ok for me since I am 5'5 230 pounds? I'm taking enbrel by injection once a week. But since I was taking the prednisone I got the dreaded potbelly look going. I was always smaller but the prednisone ballooned me up and as hard as I try I always look like I'm 6-9 months pregnant. My body looks weird and I get rashes where I can pull my belly. When I sit it looks like I'm wearing a life preserver it's so embarrassing and I can't lose it at all. Would I be a good candidate?
