Is Tummy Tucking Safe When Suffering From Stomach Issues?

I am going to get a tummy tuck soon. I have severe stomach issues. I have diverticulitis, ibs and fatty tissue on my liver. The doctor said he couldn t get my stomach as flat as others. Is it going to be worth me getting this done with my stomach issues? I thought getting the tummy tuck would help some since I am overweight per bmi abd mt height

Dear- Tummy tuck is mostly a removal of fatty tissue from your abdomen,which will make it look flatter. However, this does not have anything to do with internal stomach problems, intestinal bloating and problem with digestion. It will look flatter but will bloat with food if you eat something that produces bloating,so you need to identify what makes it bloat and avoid it.There are vegetables as broccoli,cauliflower and lettuce that gives a lot of bloating.Avoid cabonatated drinks and lactose products (if lactose intolerant)
