Would AHS cover Abdominoplasty/Diastasis recti, or any part of the necessary surgery to fix damaged muscles? (Alberta)

Also have bladder prolapse that budges out but I don't qualify for surgery. I would love to be able to exercise, no skin rashes, not pee myself, have non painful intercourse and carry a small child like a normal person in their twenties.
