    Hi Girls,

    I have my pre op with the nurse on 29/12, where I will get more info but now my surgery is only 5 weeks away I need to stock up on my post op stuff.

    I will get the Macom bra/sports bra and V-pillow after my pre-op with the nurse. I am going shopping tonight and need a list of things which I need to get to help me before and after my surgery!!!

    I have a few things on my list – Sleeping tablets, Arnica Cream, Laxatives, Bio Oil and Palmers Co-co butter, Antibac body wash – Is there anything else you will reccommend? Or any idea where i can get these from?

    PS; can i use bio oil, before and after my op ?

    Thank you
    xxx

    I think the scar sheets are what you use after you have strapping off, up to 6 weeks to protect them.
    Yeah entertainment, phone charger !!!! dressing gown for me, i cant stand onsies lol, fluffy socks for after, hair bobble (no metal), open fassening clothes and PJS.

    Antibacterial body wipes. They were a god send for the first few days not being able to wash properly. take some snacks like a Mars bar and some lucozade for after your op. You’ll probably be starving and they don’t give you much to eat. I only got toast and tea about an hour after then a sandwich later on. Make sure you have clothes that zip up or button up. Theyll be the easiest to get on for the first week. Good luck xx
