Has anyone who has had LAP RNY and Reconstructive Surgery ?

I went for a second opinion plastic surgery consultation today at 2:30 p.m. Even though I am quite happy with the first surgeon I went to and will be returning to him January 30, 2003; I heard it was always good to have second opinions and speak with several plastic surgeons after all your life will be in his hands. Anyway this surgeon I went to today came highly recommended from Internet searches and people online. His office was very nice and inside a hospital building. He had several degrees displayed and the symbol for the American Plastic Surgery Association on the wall. He was nice and willing to answer any and all questions I had. I changed clothes and slipped into a paper gown and lil blue thong for my inspection/consult. He was grabbing my skin and looking at me and analyzing my problem areas. He told me what I already knew needed to be done. Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, Thigh Lift, and Breast Lift. The part that I did not like was the way he said he would have to cut my stomach. He said I would have a cut from breastbone down to pubic and then hip to hip as well for the Tummy Tuck. I wanted to leave his office from that point, but I stayed to hear what he had to say. After all it was a free consult and all I was out of was parking money. I had LAP RNY to avoid a scar from breastbone to pubic area for a reason. I have had other PS consults and they all said hip to hip would make me nice and flat. I would not be a super model, but I do not expect that. Can anyone who has had LAP RNY and reconstructive surgery tell me if they were cut from breast bone to pubic and then hip to hip as well for their tummy tuck. I will not be using this guy, but I just want to get input from you all who had LAP RNY and a tummy tuck.
