My question is, as long as I am medically cleared by my cardiologist. Which I have been and have a letter from my doctor. Cleared for up to 8hrs surgery. As long as my blood work shows I am in good health, I am not anemic or have any other issues other than low Vit. C ever so often. No other medical issues. Weight loss helped with the issues I had. Then I should be able to get these surgeries without having to do it at a hospital? Still having a hard time finding a surgeon to do them though.

Answer: Do I have to have surgery at the hospital Safety is always the number one priority in surgery. You have done what you need to do in terms of getting clearance from your specialist and lab work. Each surgeon will have to determine if based on your medical history and the procedures planned if it is safe for you to have the procedure in a surgery center or if the hospital is recommended. I caution you not to look only for the surgeon who will agree to do this in a surgery center. If several board certified plastic surgeons feel it is safest for you to be in a hospital setting, there is likely a reason for it.

Answer: Tummy tuck There are a variety of ways of doing a tummy tuck. The technique I recommend uses mesh to reinforce the repair. Consequently I like to keep the patient overnight to make sure they do not have any problems breathing. Depending on the type of tummy tuck performed, it is possible for you to go home. However, if it is a tummy tuck with marked increased abdominal pressure then you may need to hospitalized overnight.
