I just found out I need to have a hysterectomy due to a fibroid tumor that is prolapsing through my cervix. I asked my gynecologist if he had ever had a patient who had both procedures combined and he said that he had and they had good results. He coordinates with the plastic surgeon and as long as there are no complications (such as excessive bleeding) everything should go well. I was just wondering if anyone had ever had both procedures performed at the same time? I know this would save on the cost of the tummy tuck since you would already be covering the anesthesia and OR costs with the hysterectomy, not to mention only going through recovery for one surgery instead of two. I am still about 30lb. from where I want to be and am wondering if it is too soon for a tummy tuck?
