Hi Sam I had my op on Friday past, had to be there for 10.30. Did not have my op until 3 pm. I have to say the days before I was so nervous. But on the day I was fine no nerves at all. The staff were fantastic, they explained everything and looked after me so well. They will contact you the night before to run through all the details of what you need and don’t need. Did you know you can get herbal tablets to take before to help reduce the bruising. If you can get them.
