I’m 55 years old I weigh 188lbs I have a imblical hernia. I was going to have surgery in Miami but the Doctor there said he can’t do it because it needs to be done in a hospital so can someone help me.
Answer: Surgery after a cervical fusion. Safety is always the primary concern with any surgery. Surgeries can be done in patients who have had cervical fusions. It would require a preoperative visit with the anesthesiologist so that they could evaluate whether they could safely intubate you for the procedure. Some ambulatory surgery center’s have this capability and some don’t. You may wish to check other options to see if it would allow you to not have to go to the hospital to have this done. Best wishes.

Answer: Cervical fusion If you have clearance from your provider you should be able to proceed with a tummy tuck if you are otherwise a good candidate. An evaluation by the anesthesiologist may be needed beforehand. Discuss the situation further with your surgeon.
