Over night case Started by: Jess

Sorry I don’t think I attached the image haha xx

Hi Jess,

I feel fine, no pain whatsoever! I started to stress out before the op but there’s honestly so need and the nurses are so lovely and reassuring. It sorta just feels like someone is slightly standing on your chest!

You’re also given a menu of what to eat in the evening but you can eat whenever you like, where are you having your op? If you’re staying in Fitzroy hotel I’ll send you a picture of the menu xx

I had 250cc in my right and 275cc in my left to fix my asymmetry, I think this is why I’m in less pain because the implants are smaller! Honestly the food choice was really good, it’s mostly light meals like sandwiches and salads as a lot of people feel sick after surgery, clearly I’m just a greedy pig hahaha. Wishing you all the best, good luck, you’ll be absolutely fine xx

Oooh also if u haven’t got one already it may help for u to get a backrest for ur bed from argos. I used it to prop all my pillows and v pillow to keep me at an angle for 4 weeks lool. Was about 23quid. I.founs it really helpful to get comfy and I slept great with it fxx

I defo used mine a lot and still do even tho I got the all clear to lay on my back flat last week. It just converts ur bed into a hospital one lool
I got wrapped up like a sausage roll in blankets and my zip up onesie and slept like a baby. I’d say the back rest and v pillow were my best buys. If ur partner is gonna be on hand for a few days u may not need it as he can help re position u.

It feels uncomfortable for me to lay totally flat cos I’m not allowed in my sidea until post six weeks. See how u get on the first night at home and if u can stay at an angle without toppling over.

Remember u can’t use ur hands to push urself back up at all.so practice tonight shuffling on ur bum. A girl I met on here got really bad back ache and had a lot of trouble I reccomended the back rest to her and she said it really helped but everyone’s different.

I was pretty much alone for most of the day til the evening so I needed something to keep me in the correct position.

Another alternative would be to get a really dense hard pillow like the memory foam ones o think primark do them for 8 quid
U could place tht at the Base of ur back and prop the other pillows on top of it. The main objective for the first few weeks is to not lay on ur new girls or apply any pressure to ur hands/chest muscles. Hope tht helps fxxx
