Thank you for sharing your question.  Assuming you are an otherwise good candidate for surgery, you should be able to have a tummy tuck performed without major issue.

Dear zukeishag,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Photos would aid in our evaluation, but based solely on your brief history, there does not seem to be a contraindication for a tummy tuck. 
Best wishes,
