Hello
I think perhaps the pain your wife is having may be the result of adhesions, or scar tissue that has adhered to the wall of the abdomen or other organs.
While any surgery is not without risk, I think that telling the surgeon before hand that she has had a tummy tuck will clue them in that maybe not as much air should be inserted into her abdomen.
By now the incision has healed, so I don't think there is a risk of popping it open.
There is a lot of give to the other areas of her abdomen that are still there, the sides and back side to stretch to allow the air to enter.
That being said, this is a good thing to write down these questions and actually ask for a meeting with the surgeon before hand so they can all be answered for you.
Part of the legal process of any surgery is what is called informed consent. Do not sign any papers until you have asked all of these questions and are comfortable doing so.
I wish I could help more, however, without knowing your wife and her anatomy, this would be up to the surgeon to examine her and discuss from there.

We are not looking for a diagnosis of her problem.
My question is simply, has this surgery been done in the past?
Has there been problems with it?
Is there any documentation to support doing it, or not based on the tummy tuck situation.
We had the surgery done and the surgeon could not do it because of the tightness of the tummy tuck. My question to him was, did you know there would be a problem. He had never done one with a tummy tuck before and had no idea what to expect.
Of course he told us of this revalation after attempting and failing to do the surgery.
Is there any documentation on whether there is a problem doing this surger after a tummy tuck????????????

Hello
I will do some more research for you. That being said, you had led me to believe the surgery had not been done yet. Had you said it had been attempted, and the surgeon was unable to do so, which sounds like the case (please correct me if I'm wrong), I could have done this research a lot sooner.
I will let you know if I find anything.
Perhaps another expert will be able to shed some light as well.

I asked the question late last week, we just attempted the surgery on Monday. Sorry to have misled, it was not my intention.
Thanks for trying.

No problem.
I haven't been able to locate any studies for you as of now. I will keep looking though.
