Go to your GP and ask for him to refer you to a Plastic Surgeon on the NHS. From the description of your problem, you are a good canditate for abdominoplasty, and a decent surgeon would not refuse you the operation (unless you have a lot of medical problems). The only two things that would stop it going ahead would be if your BMI was over 30, and/or if you smoke.
Abdominoplasty is performed on the NHS for 2 reasons - excessive scarring and loose skin from previous surgery, and on people who have lost a significant amount of weight and have a fold of skin that won't shift by exercise.

No.. However i didnt think they offered them. I know you can get breasts done on NHS if there is a reason why youneed it done aka non cosmetical.
I know that some children who are obses are getting tummy tucks done.
