Removing a Fibroid Along with a Tummy Tuck After Complicated Previous Surgeries?
MarinaResidentAug 10, 2012
I'm a 47 y/o with a 26 BMI. In 1990, I was in a car accident, suffered internal damage (+lots of other damage) and have an "emergency" scar from pubic to sternum; in 1992, I had my third child, who was breech so C-section. Now I have fibroids - 11 cm/penduncullated (sp?) and causing a lot of issues: chronic anemia, heavy bleeding, weight gain, etc. Depressed. Will any doc give me a tummy tuck AND remove the fibroids (w/o hyster) considering my history? And does removing them cause weight loss?
