A good night's rest is important before surgery. A sleeping pill is generally fine, but I don't recommend trying a new medication.
Make sure your surgeon is aware of your plan, but there should not be a problem. Many patients will use a sleeping tablet or a valium the night before surgery. Best wishes, and thanks for the question.
Yes, but make sure you don't oversleep and miss your surgery time. Your surgeon and anesthesiologist need to know what it was and when you took it. You'll catch up on your sleep during the procedure and recovery. Dr. Foster
As long as your surgeon and your anesthesiologist do not have a problem with it, taking a sleeping pill the night before surgery should not be a problem.

Most insurance companies will not pay for this repair. As stated, it would really have to be more of a hernia than a weakness....And even if they did pay, they are getting very savvy nowadays and would probably only pay for part of the surgery...
The garment should be covering the incision at all times, so if it slips off, then simply pull it over the incision again by holding on to the sides of the garment. Swelling can be quite prominent after surgery and can take a few months to fully subside. Wearing the garment and following...
Tummy tuck scars usually heal better than c-section scars. Having done many tummy tucks on patients with c-sections scars, I have noticed that the c-section scar tends to heal "stuck down" to the muscle that has been repaired with the delivery. When I perform a tummy tuck, I'm...
