Can I Have a Reverse Tummy Tuck After a Whipple Surgery & C-section? I Have Been Warned About Blood Flow Due to Scar Tissue.

gmelder
I'm 38 & had a Whipple Surgery in 04 for an abscess. I have had 2 pregnancies 1 was twins in 1/11 & have diastasis recti from the surgery & pregnancies. Almost weekly I get are you pregnant. I am only 5'2" & 115.I am very thin everywhere else. I have had other medical issues TM & Post Partum Cardio Myopathy. The Whipple Scar already runs under my breast so I have been told they would use this incision, repair the recti & hernia and close. Any additional thoughts or concerns appreciated.
