Is a tummy tuck a good option for PCOS? I cannot get rid of my belly.

Asked By:LakeMom2009 in Charlottesville, VA

I have PCOS and while I exercise (both cardio and strength 3-4 days per week) and eat a helthy , balanced diet, I cannot get rid of my belly. I have lost inches at my hips but have lost almost nothing in my "spare tire". My legs, arms and back are incredibly toned and the excess weight in my stomach not only makes me self conscious but also causes back pain. Is a tummy tuck worth it given that with PCOS, any weight gain, even minor, will accumulate within the tummy?
