Many thanks for posting your question. The challenge in someone with Ehlers Danlos, is that there is a fundamental problem with the connective tissues. In practice, this means that the stretching and elastic properties of skin and other connective tissues are not normal.This has two implications:1. The result of surgery may not last for as long as expected, as the tissues (in this case on the abdomen) may stretch out again 2. there may be adverse consequences on wound healing (such as delayed healing and infection risks)Whilst this is not something I routinely specifically ask about, I would certainly want someone to tell me if they had this diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis) during a consultation, as it would need further in depth discussion.I hope this helps - good luck
