I have a large gall bladder incision and was told that a tummy tuck would not be good in my case

I have done tummy tucks many times in situations like this without complications, but an exam or pictures and discussion would be helpful.   I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Tummy tuck surgery in your case can be potentially problematic if there is a long transverse scar present after your gallbladder surgery (open).   If the longer scar is present,  potential problems with  blood supply to the abdominal wall flap raised during tummy tuck surgery should be considered. A limited undermining tummy tuck operation ( with the standard transverse incision) will be your best bet.  You may wish to post photos with your next question for more precise responses. When the time is right, seek consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience ( and safety record) achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.  Best wishes.
