Will abdominal Liposuction remove the fat so I can complete the sit up? (photos)

New York momma
32 y.o. 5’5 250 lbs. Looking for abdominal liposuction. I’m training for a law enforcement physical fitness exam. I have the core strength to do sit ups and crunches, however the fat is in the way and prevents me from touching my elbows to my knees (this is required for completing the exercise). I expect loose skin but don't want a tummy tuck at this time. Will lipo remove enough fat? Is it likely that I will recover and be able to exercise my core before June 11th when I'm scheduled to test?
