Can previous hernia surgery be an advantage to getting a tummy tuck?

I have had numerous pelvic surgeries, which have left what I call, a complete set of "railroad" tracks in that area. Hysterectomy, c-sect, surgery to clear up endometreosis, and a hernia repair. The hernia was considered one of the largest my surgeon had seen, and there was a large mesh placed. My Q is, does anyone know if having that large mesh will be an advantage to me when I decide to go for a TT? (Haven't made that decision yet) Will having all those "railroad" tracks be an advantage or a hinderance in me getting an insurance approval? I'm thinking of asking the Drs who performed these surgeries to give me reports stating that the overhanging belly is detrimental to these scars and to the mesh. I was obese when all of these surgeries were perfomed. Am I making sense? Has anyone every heard of doing this before? Thanks you! :-)
