is an overnight hospital stay after surgery REQUIRED? I had a consultation and the price of the tummy tuck is affordable, the anesthesia is also affordable, but the doc wants me to stay in the hospital overnight and the price of the hospital stay is so NOT affordable! So now, I can't afford the tummy tuck. Should I consult with another doctor or are all the doctors going to make me stay in the hospital overnight? Can you guys tell me your experiences? I would really appreciate it!
I had a tummy tuck and I stayed overnight which I think most people do, I did have one friend who went home. I think it is better to stay one night because you will be to uncomfortable to go home. I just had breast augmentation and a lift Saturday and I was miserable on the ride home.
Not all Plastic surgeons require you to stay in the hospital. I had my surgery done in my PS's surgical center...and then went home after I stayed in recovery for a few hours. It wasn't so bad...although I am not typical when it comes to pain..I had none. I had a BA,BL,TT with lipo of inner and outer thighs and flanks on 7/8/04. I am extremely happy with my results.

Thanks for your responses. I've decided to bite the bullet and have the tummy tuck anyway. I'm scheduled for March 28th and I'm so excited....and a little nervous. Wish me luck!!!
