    So my op is Friday, VERY excited but nerves are definitely kicking in now.
    A few last minute things which I’m unsure on…
    The nurse at my Pre Op didn’t tell me to sleep sitting up but I’ve already got my V Pillow anyway. Does anyone know how long they recommend you sleep upright for?
    Also, was anyone given anti sickness medication during the op intravenously or is it just afterwards they give you something for it?

    Think its around 6 weejs sleeping upright depending how ur feeling.

    My ba is today and must be excitement or nerves coz I dont need to be up till 7, but I am awake already.

    You need to sleep upright for 7 days PO to let the implant settle in the pocket but lots of us sleep upright a lot longer for comfort reasons. Good luck x
