Gastric Bypass Surgery Consultation
Dr. Greenberg will discuss your goals and your suitability for plastic surgery after gastric bypass with you in detail. Of primary concern is your overall health and whether you are a good candidate for these procedures.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Procedure
Gastric bypass surgery is performed by a qualified surgeon in a hospital. Dr. Greenberg does not perform this surgery but believes that early consultation with a plastic surgeon can educate patients on the changes they will see in their bodies and what can be done for their deformities with plastic surgery.

This can be extremely important in motivating patients during this difficult process. It is also an opportunity for patients to discuss future financial considerations about these procedures so there are no “surprises” when time for surgery approaches.

After Your Gastric Bypass Surgery
Dr. Greenberg will meet with you again to discuss your weight loss progress and your goals. Most often, plastic surgery may be performed 3-6 months after maintaining a stable weight. The success of these procedures is directly proportional to patient physical and emotional stability and realistic expectations of the possible outcome.
