New pics!! 3 weeks PO..Spanx? Feeling lumpy and bruised... Still! - Boston, MA

I am a mother of 2 children and ever since the birth of my daughter (now 6) I have been longing to have this extra skin REMOVED! I have been on this website so many times but never got the courage to move forward. One question I have that I can't seem to find the answer to, is how important is it or is it worth it to have an overnight hospital stay following your tummy tuck? I really feel like this time I am going to do it. I work hard, eat right and it is just not paying off!

I have been to one consultation 2 hours away and I have another consultation in a few weeks. My question is how do I pick? The man I had the consult with seemed nice enough and definitely gave me good hope on how much change I will see. The price was right too. The negative is he is 2 hours away and the surgery is not in the nicest town.
My consult in a few weeks is with a woman who has a lot of the same positive reviews as the man, is an hour closer and from what I understand the the facility is beautiful. The price will probably be an extra 2-3 thousand from what they said over the phone.
I don't know how to decide?! Do I go with the woman who is closer, in a better part of town yet more expensive or to the man who is farther away, not the nicest facility yet 2-3 thousand cheaper...

So, I finally paid for and booked my surgery with a surgeon who I like very much! She had so many pictures pulled of past patients who had similar body types so I could get an idea of what to expect.
I am getting lipo done on my flanks, parts of my stomach and inner and outer thighs. My surgery is 10 days away!! I am not staying overnight but my best friend happens to be a nurse in a post surgery unit in a hospital and will be staying over with me on my first night. I am just so nervous because I have never had surgery of any kind nor have I been under general anesthesia. BUT I am so excited to put this behind me.
