Would a tummy tuck affect a future gall bladder surgery or other abdominal surgeries? (Photo)

Asked By:16huck in Spokane, Washington

Hello! I plan on having a tummy tuck with DR repair next year. I’ve had a couple gall bladder attacks in my life ( one of them I didn’t eat for three days and had a fever of 102). I’m healthier now and haven’t had a full attack, but my RUQ does have a dull ache at times. Makes me wonder about how a tummy tuck would affect things if I needed to have my gall bladder out one day. Also, how does it affect other abdominal surgeries? What if I had a ruptured appendix or sustained abdominal injury in a car wreck? Thanks!!
