Does tightening up your stomach muscles help with the tummy tuclk

I am almost 1 year post-op and will be seeing my surgeon in July. We are going to talk about my tummy tuck (though I'm planning on doing it in 2001). My questions is I've been working very hard a getting my stomach muscles tighter, I've been working on getting everything else tighter too! I have a friend who had a tummy tuck and she had a really rough time, my understanding is they have to cut your stomach muscles, I'm looking for some feedback from anyone who's already had the tummy tuck and does it help or hinder if your stomach muscles are as tight as you can get them? I'm hoping to have mine tight enough that maybe the surgeon won't have to do as much cutting!!!!!!!! I am more scared and worried about this surgery than I was about my first one! Any words of wisdom and experience?
