Can I still have a tummy tuck if I've had acute pancreatitis in the past due to gallstones?

Asked By:SimplyCassy in Central Valley, CA

Back in 2011, I had surgery due to my gallstones causing pancreatitis. The night before my gallbladder surgery, I had surgery to open my ducts. After surgery, I was discharged because my pancreatitis levels were back to normal. Fast forward to 2020, I now want a tummy tuck. Do you think having short term pancreatitis 8 years ago would effect me for ever having a tummy tuck?
