Best form of transportation after Tummy tuck?

January 4, 2014
Asked By:AVA 07 in ATL

I know this is not at the top of the list of importance, but I truly want to know the best type of vehicle to ride in directly after surgery?I'm short 5ft.3in. It's the getting in and out of I'm most concerned about. I have a choice of a car, a pick up truck ( has step up bar), and a suv, which is a little tall, if I used the suv I would bring a stool,and it has step up bars and a handle to hold onto. Thank you in advance for you input.
