What Are the Reasons You Might Be Turned Away from a Tummy Tuck?

8855anon
I have had 3 kids and have had this roll under my belly button for most of my life since I lost a large amount of weight as a teen. With my last child I also gained a small pouch above my belly button that time in the gym has not changed. I have been a stable weight of 200 for the last few years so I would like to just make the best of what I have. I am healthy, work out daily, and done having kids. Would a larger size alone make me an unacceptable patient?
