    I come home in a Range Rover and just had someone help me into the car. I’d also suggest having a pillow to put between the seatbelt and your chest! Helped sooo much when going over uneven road and bumps xx

    If you’re a day case you honestly don’t need much. I stayed overnight and honestly only used my change of clothes because I was so out of it I didn’t want anything else. I would take anything you need to keep you occupied for before your surgery incase you need to wait around, some easy clothes to come home in and maybe some snacks for when you come round if you’re a fussy eater. I come home in a tracksuit but loads of girls go home in onesies according to my nurse lol x

    I’ll be honest I’m not liking them at the min, there really pointy (which I know goes away) and I feel as though there pointing to the sides. I hope this changes! I’m in quite a bit pain, even on my belly which I don’t know is normal xxx

    I came home in a fiesta and it was fine, just be careful when going over bumps, doesn’t really matter what car you come home in aslong as the driver is careful and tries to man it as easy as possible x

    I’m actually in no pain as such I’m just tight and uncomfortable I put the seat belt over my head so it was like a lap belt. My boobs are soo far apart and like cones I’m hating them I know I have to give them time. The strapping doesn’t help the way I feel either! Hopefully not long before I start to love them

    Amy I’ve been told that aswell as I live 2.5 hours away. They like you to stay within an hour of the hospital incase something happens. I’m staying in a hotel x

    They tell you to stay close by just incase something happens over night but as long as you’re close by to a hospital in general I reckon you’ll be fine! xx

    Im at the London clinic on 4th May and live in Brighton so I’m staying in a travel lodge round the corner.
    It was like £400 extra to stay in their hospital and £137 for a hotel so no brainer.
    I wanted to go back home but tbh I think staying in a hotel a close by will be best as you never know how you’re going to feel afterwards.
    Sitting in a car driving back to Brighton sounded like a nightmare

    It’s because if anything happens the hospital will try and correct things and save the implant where an NHS hospital will just take them out if you needed to go to theatre for anything x
