Belt lipectomy after gastric bypass weight loss surgery
This is way too much surgery for one day. The physiologic assault of a belt lipectomy is greater than any other surgery performed by plastic surgeons except for maybe reshaping of the skull bones which involves exposure of the brain. Without photos or an examination I have no idea how much skin and fat will be removed by the belt lipectomy. If the amount is significant you should keep in mind that a lot of blood will be removed in that skin and consider donating your own blood for...

What is too much cosmetic surgery for one day?
I am assuming you are thinking of this as a one day surgery. If so, I would encourage you to re-consider and realize that once an elective cosmetic surgery exceeds 6 hours in duration, the risks and complications rise. In the combination you describe, blood clots would be a real potential issue and these can be fatal. I'd advise that you stage the procedures.

Multiple Procedures at Once
This is too much surgery in one setting. A belt lipectomy is invasive enough and if it's a single surgeon can take 5 or 6 hours. Not only will your risk of complications go up, but I also feel that the quality of work tends to diminish when so many procedures are being done in a limited amount of time. I would recommend having the belt lipectomy in one stage and the mastopexy augmentation in a second stage.
Hope that helps and good luck!

Mulitple procedures
While you possibly can have all these things done at the same time, it may be a positioning problem for you.. Also, with all these procedures the complication rate goes up.

Too much surgery
The combination of the hysterectomy and other surgeries is associated with high complication rate . Pelvic surgeries have high potential for deep vein trombosis and adding multiple long surgery is not safe. Please do not push your surgeon to do all of the mentioned surgeries at the same time.

Multiplle simultaneous procedures.
This is an extensive operation and does carry numerous risks and complications which should be fully discussed prior to tproceeding with the surgery.
+1
Staged procedures
I would recommend staging the procedures to minimize the risk. The longer the procedure the higher risk of blood loss and venous clotting.
You can achieve good results by spacing the procedures in at least two stages.
Good luck!

Multiple Procedures Increase Operative Risks
I agree that you should undergo the belt lipectomy as a single pricedure. This alone is a very time-consuming operation. Combining it with a mastopexy with implants or a Brazilian lift would definitely increase your risks, especially of those of a thromboembolic nature. It would also make your recovery much more difficult.
+1
Staged procedures
I always encourage weight loss patients to stage their procedure according to desire and PS recommendation. Having all of those operations certainly does increase your risk of complications, some possibly life threatening.
I would recommend that you discuss this with your PS and get your operations done in a staged manner.
