Hi, I have Crohn's Disease but I really want to get a full tummy tuck. My Gastroenterologist recently told me that I have a significant area of my intestines that are scarred. Therefore, in the future I could end up with a blockage and/or need more surgery. I'm not currently taking any medicine that suppresses my immune system (I recently was told to start taking Imuran but I declined) . I'm currently taking Pentasa. What are my chances of being able to have a tummy tuck surgery?

Answer: Crohn's Disease patient as a potential candidate for a tummy tuck Thank you for your question. You have to have clearance from your gastroenterologist before a having tummy tuck, because he or she knows your situation & if there is a possibility that you might need surgery in the future, he would not recommend tummy tuck .
