Hello,
You have already had multiple surgeries. Whether you are fit for a tummy tuck or not can be decided after a physical examination only. You should be in good health to get this surgery done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
