Mine is going to be out patient as well. I like that, bc I hate hospitals. And it's only going to be ten grand, not forty. And it's being done at a center of excellence. My parents are both doctors, and apparently it's far more common to have it done out patient. I'd say just find a surgeon who you feel comfortable with, that's all that matter! Either way they do it, in patient or out, cheers to great safe results!
