    Hey girls!
    My op is now in 16 days!!!!! I’m so flipping excited. Never thought this day would ever ever come!

    As it’s a short time away can anyone please help with these questions.

    My pc recommended taking vitamins before hand and I can’t remember what they are called.

    With smoking!!
    So I’m a heavyish smoker. When I went to see the nurse she said I need to quit 2 weeks prior surgery as if they nicotine test me to they can turn me down for surgery…. is this true?? I know about the risks smoking and healing etc but I am such a moody cow when I stop smoking. It’s unreal. I can’t just quit with no nicotine what so ever!

    Also, I bought the Macon bra. I’m a 34 A and I got a small , is this correct?

    Thank you girls!

    Hi Violet, bet you are so excited!!!! The vitamins they say is Arnica tablets, they help with bruising etc.

    Smoking, I too smoke and cut down massively, but never quit, even the day before I had one, but I did cut down massively. They did not do a nicotine test on me, nor did they ask about smoking on the day of surgery however that doesn’t mean to say they wont on you. So be careful.

    MACOM Size small will be fine, at first with swelling it will probably feel really tight, but over time you will find it starts to feel looser. I would recommend 2 bras at least so when you wash your macom you have another to wear. M&S high impact sports bras are good or Debenhams high impact. ( look on ebay or amazon, you can buy them new, for much cheaper)

    Good luck on your Journey xxx
