Is it dangerous to get a tummy tuck with untreated/undiagnosed idiopathic intercranial hyertension?If yes what are complications

hollybelle55
I have been getting tested to see if I have idiopathic intercranial hyertension. I have ot yet gotten my results back but I have a tummy tuck coming up. It was fluke that I found out I might possibly have IIH and I'm still wanting to go ahead with the tummy tuck. I feel like if I had not found out I needed to be tested I'd still be going in for the surgery so is it really dangerous. Thank you in advance!
