Wanting a tummy tuck but have terrible IBS and bloating.

October 23, 2016
Asked By:thuah in Pittsburgh, PA

I have had four children and I have a bit of loose skin. I previously had a nissan Fundoplication because I was aspirating and had terrible shortness of breath. After the nissan I developed a worsening of my IBS. It is so bad that I am on antidepressants to release serotonin in my gut. Every night my stomach bloats but I am no longer in any pain from this. My Nissan was 18 months ago. I am worried that with a tummy tuck that my stomach will not have room to bloat and I will be in pain or worse.
