Has anyone had a tummy tuck then later had their gallbladder removed?

Pending insurance approval I'm scheduled for an extended TT & brachioplasty on June 30th. Problem is, I now need my gallbladder taken out. It's not real bad at this point. My plastic surgeon would be willing to let a general surgeon come in and remove the gallbladder during the plastics, but he did say it would limit the amount of liposuction he could do, since gallbladder removal stirs up bacteria. What if I were to wait and do it sometime down the road after the TT? Would lap gallbladder removal mess up my plastic surgeon's hard work? Appreciate any feedback. - Anna
