Can I have an extended tummy tuck if I have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?

May 7, 2019
Asked By:sohappy101 in Jacksonville, NC

I recently put a deposit down to have a extended tummy tuck but found out I have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The doctor said his anesthesiologist would not clear me for surgery even if the cardiologist clears me. I’m assume because it needs to be done in a hospital vs their out patient clinic. Does this sound correct or is my dreams of a flat stomach gone?
