Shower/Baths & Preperations Started by: Leah Rodgers

I had a shower as normal the night before, it ended up being quite late so maybe 11pm ish. Washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner as normal and washed my lower half with body wash as normal but I didn’t put any body wash on my top half. No deodorant the day of surgery either! And made sure I rinsed my whole body from top to bottom with plenty of water afterwards just to make sure no shampoo was left anywhere on my chest area.

Don’t forget to bring that jacket or something similar with you, I know it’s nice weather at the moment but if you get discharged late in the evening, I found the combination of it being a little chilly in the evening and the effects of the anaesthetic made me shiver, which hurt. I wish I’d have thought to take a jumper or a cardigan x

Def take a jumper or jacket I wasn’t discharged until gone 9pm and I was freezing!

I showered that morning as normal and did my skincare routine on my face but didn’t put anything on my body. Don’t think bodywash is too much of an issue. I packed the same as you but also a magazine as I waited around for a while. and some snacks for after surgery because they took a while to bring the food and I was starving!
