Should I stay overnight after Tummy Tuck? Are they trying to get more money?

Just want to say you are absolutely gorgeous.  Congratulations on your weight loss.  I am getting an extended tummy tuck and breast lift with implants in November, and will be staying overnight at the hospital.

I would stay if you can swing it.  If for nothing else than a little extra rest, and getting the nurses to teach you and husband how to best care for your drains etc. when you do get home.

Best wishes

Going home in less than a day in totally ok, it's done all the time. If you have any issues at all after the surgery DO NOT 2ND GUESS an extra day in the hospital it won't hurt a thing better safe than sorry.

Good luck

Thanks for the compliment..I really appreciate it!!

For my TT and implants we stayed overnight at a hotel.  Granted we had to drive 4 hours for my surgery so they wanted to make sure everything was ok the next day before coming home.  It also wasnt done in a hospital.

What I've learned the most through weight loss and plastic surgery is everyone is different.  For me, I had a TT and went home the same day.  I did go home with a pain pump that lasted 3 days and then I had pain pills to take after that.  I was 58 when I had the TT.  I had no problems with pain or the recovery.  I had someone stay with me the first night and after that I was on my own.  My suggestion would be to get in the best shape you can - exercise those core muscles.  Good luck.

Well, ok guys I have decided to do the overnight stay! Whew!! God will bless me with the money I know He will!! I am still very excited and can't wait to see my new tummy!! Thank you all for your kind words and information. It is better to be safe that sorry!!! To God Be The Glory!!
