Is my plan for plus size tummy tuck realistic and would I have good results? (Photo)

bumsanta
I have been researching the tummy tuck procedure. I am 33 years old and have had 1 pregnancy and birth and am at my highest weight ever including when I was pregnant. My current weight is about 240lbs and I am 5'9. My goal is to work really hard over the next few months to get my weight down to at least 200 lbs or BMI of 30 and then go for my tummy tuck consultation. Does this seem like a reasonable goal and can I expect good results? Would I be a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
