Hi I am wondering if anyone has any experience with plastic surgeon Roy Puskas of Mount Laurel, NJ. I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck (on July 2) after losing 120 lbs from GBS and I want to know more about this surgeon and/or anyone's experience with tummy tuck after gastric bypass. Thanks!

Hi. I don't know anything about Dr. Puskas because I'm at the other end of the State. I had a TT in November after losing 153 pounds. It made a big difference in how clothes fit because all the hanging skin and fat will be gone. It is an odd feeling - best I can describe to you is that you feel very tight - which persists. I had a very easy recovery because the surgeon I used injects your stomach muscles with a local anesthetic so that really helped with the recovery since it made it easier to move around. Good luck with your surgery. Let me know if you have any other questions. Wilma

P. S. - Be sure to ask if has experience with other patient's who are post GBP surgery. Mine had experience and I still found that I needed to do some educating, i.e., they need to order sugar free liquids for you when you wake up. If you're not paying attention they'll give you regular apple or cranberry juice.
