Have I lost enough weight for a tummy tuck?

Twoboystwogirls
After 4 pregnancies and two abdominal surgeries (c-section and hysterectomy) I am finally ready to do my tummy tuck! I am 5'8 and 183.  I have been a steady 170 to 180 for the last two years. I dislike my tummy so much. Will a tummy tuck make a dramatic change ? Or do I need to lose more weight first.
