Asked By:Graceful771 in Pittsburgh, PA

It was discovered I had pseudotumor after a rapid weight gain in my very early twenties. I am now 37, a healthy weight and have not seen a neurologist since my VP was put in place. I want to have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation, am I even a candidate for these procedures? I am not and have not been under the care of a neurologist in over a decade. I have never had an complications.
