Nine months after a tummy tuck you can do any exercise or activity that you desire.  Weight loss will need to be a stable and constant effort.  Don't try to crash diet or starve.  Try to figure out where you can live normally and maintain your weight. in a manner that fits your life style.

Once your weight is stable you can then do some body contouring to get the fatty deposits taken care of.

I hope this helps.

Best Wishes
