    @ness318 Has definitely got it all sorted there. That’s pretty much what I took with me. I’d take ice packs if you can. I found these have helped lots! @imogencooper good luck to both of you ladies! I had my op on Saturday so if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them 🙂 xxx

    @ness318 I haven’t been without mine at the minute. I’m still applying ice today because they’re so swollen. I’d advise having some if you can. xxx

    @clairelk I’d suggest buying Macoms. They’re a God send! You only need to know your current back size and order that. The cups are adjustable so they’ll go with whatever size you have. xx
