Tummy Tuck with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - Possibility for Future Pregnancy, QOL Severely Impacted by DRA.

June 28, 2024
Asked By:Pieta22 in Rolla, Missouri

As a patient diagnosed with hEDS, 7 cm DRA + hernias, I am considering a TT. I have had this condition since my 1st baby, and now have had 6 babies 9-11 lbs. DRA, severe back and abdominal pain, nausea, and POP have significantly reduce QOL. I am in my 20s and may want another baby in my 30s, but believe a TT would improve my health. Have done years of PT. What outcomes may occur with a TT with hEDS +/- w/ future pregnancy after TT? Is there a chance of success? Open to revision in future.
