Can I get a high BMI tummy tuck if I have congestive heart failure?

Blackgirl718
I’m 38 and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure almost 2 years ago. Since I’ve been taking meds, I have no complications. No shortness of breath, no hospitalizations, NOTHING! It’s been a breeze. However, I’m 5’3 and 258 pounds. I have a high BMI. I originally wanted a BBl, but a tummy tuck would work for now. I’m small at the bottom and big at the top and I hate to! I want this stomach gone now.
