    Itl be over so fast Hun just relax and enjoy the day it flies by! Take some magazines & your phone charger and a few bits to eat when you come round they give you tea & toast but I took some dark chocolate for my iron & sugar it was amazing haha! Plait your hair too if it’s long saves so much hassle trying to do it for a few days coz at first your arms are pretty useless! Xxx

    i would pack for every situation eg staying overnight or day case just incase your situation changes. i like to have some magazines, books and my iPad with me and lots of snacks and water! i find sipping water calms me and helps with sickness which you may get after the op. try not to worry too much, just enjoy the day! and have lots of naps! naps make everything better 🙂 xx

    i panicked so much about forgetting something. i was on this forum looking for posts like this on the morning of my surgery making sure i had everything lol in the end all i needed was my sports bras and having chocolate helped me a lot! i felt so sick when i come round but felt like i needed something sugary to eat so may be worth taking some? i used my phone charger and that was about it! xx

    Hey summer I had my operation yesterday and felt exactly the same as you but all the nurses and people are so nice and know what there doing! It will go so quick!! Just bring loose clothing with you phone, charger maybe a over night bag just in case, also I brought some chocolate and sweets for after, I also brought my tablet to watch Netflix because u might be sharing a room with someone else! Also whoever drops u home just tell them to go slow on the bumps haha!! Let me know if you have anymore questions xxx I got 275cc btw
