Anyone know of a nurse I can hire for a couple days post op in TJ? Where do I look for one, etc? I do not want to stay in a recovery house, I don't like hospitals, and I just like to be left alone for the most part after surgeries. Although Im not going alone, I think it will be better if I hire a nurse for the first couple days until my companion and I are comfortable with drains, moving, etc.

Any suggestions?

which company are you going with? alighterme is only two days in the hospital and rest in a hotel

Your coordinator should be able to help you out or ask your surgeon directly. Good Luck- I have never heard of this before.

I stayed in a hotel and the nurses were there 24 hrs. They only came in to give antibiotics and change dressings. Who is doing your surgery? I don't think hiring a nurse would be necessary.

I'm using Dr Fuentes at Cosmed. I'm really really nervous. I emailed the patient coordinator this morning but haven't heard back yet. I've never had drains, even with vsg, plus I'm really scared of how painful this is going to be! Any advice or tips are appreciated!

Which hotel did you use?

Oh I didn't realize this was in the cosmetic surgery forum. Disregard my comment lol!
