I had the gastric sleeve surgery in 2013 and ended up with a picc line and a peg tube. I suffered from extreme dehydration and vitamin deficiencies. I lost 140lbs the first year and 50lbs the next year. I was left with severe sagging. I recently got a fleur de lis TT. I felt it was necessary because my skin hung so low; my stomach covered my vagina. As well as new self esteem issues. I want to start a family and was wondering about possible risks or complications with pregnancy due to the TT

Looks like a tummy tuck will help you. Involves removing skin, tightening muscles and moving belly button. I use IV sedation anesthesia for safety, but general anesthesia is fine as well. Good luck.

As you increase your activity after a tummy tuck, it is normal for the tissues to swell, especially near the incision. As long as there is not a large fluid collection, there is no need to drain it. I recommend wearing light compression during the day (spanx/girdle) as this will help...
