Can steroid injections help with serome if injected right into the seroma? What is the risk in having that done? Just to make clear that I refer to post op injections.

Unless there is a reason not to (you would need to ask YOUR surgeon), I always encourage all my patients to switch to a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory as soon after their procedure as possible. They work surprisingly well and post-operative bleeding has been a NON-ISSUE in all of them.
A tummy tuck is cosmetic surgery, so Medicaid would not cover it. You can ask a bariatric surgeon about the possibilty of insurance coverage for the gastric by pass.
It certainly falls within the range of what belly buttons look like. If you wanted a more open look, this is easily achieved and can be done under local anesthesia.
