What are your thoughts on getting surgery after suffering from a pulmonary embolism?

I developed PE possibly from prolonged birth control. I am really interested in getting a tummy tuck, I have had elective surgery before however this was prior to be diagnosed. What are your thoughts, is there a safe way or should this be avoided altogether? 40 y/o female with a BMI of 31.
