out-patient TT and lipo?

mine is scheduled for 1/6 -- I've been told I will hang in recovery for a few hours post-op, then go home.  Freaking a little.

Any words of wisdom for BTDT vets?

I had mine on 12/3 and was home by 3 in the afternoon...surgery was at 8:30 and live 1.5 hours away.  I needed some TLC at home and DH and my mommy were there to help, but it was ok.  Wishing you all the best!! I am VERY happy I did this!

I also had outpatient surgery for both BA and TT at different times. Don't freak, home is much more comfortable than the hospital!

You'll be fine........... seems more and more I hear about Surgeons doing it as an outpatient procedure.  Freaked me out at first but now I'm kind of used to it.

If you were having the whole LBL done at once and lipo then I'm sure they would either do it at the hospital or keep you at an after-care with 24hr nurses.

Don't worry, you'll be fine...take the meds on schedule and you will be just fine.

Best wishes.
Post to let us know how you are doing.

I had an anchor tt and BA/BL done outpatient.  I went in at 7:00 and with the 1.5 hr drive home I was home by about 5:00 I think (hard to say I was heavily medicated).  I preferred being away from the hospital enviornment.  I had my own recliner/bed/toilet and my own germs... I had plenty of antibiotics and pain meds to help me thru it. I think you'll be fine... and glad your at home when its all said and done... good luck!
