Tubal Ligation and Tummy Tuck

N
NicaBlueFeb 28, 2016

Hi am 38yrs old...I had my tubes cut, burned and tied almost 7 years ago. I have missed my period for this month which is February. And I am regular, have never had an issue with my menstrual cycle other than being a few days late every now and then.. Is having a missed period normal? I am concerned because I had a tummy tuck done almost 2 yrs ago and really don't wanna lose my flat tummy..Id appreciate any advice..Thank you!
