    Soo my op is next Tuesday and I haven’t received my admission time yet is this normal?? The only thing I have ready is a macom bra which I’ve bought until I can get measured afterwards, what else will I need girls?! I know there have been loads of these posts already but I can’t seem to find any sorry! I’m so nervous panic mode is on now xxxx

    I got my admission time 2 days before my op, i called the hospital myself. On the day i took with me
    Macom bra
    Dressing gown
    Slippers
    Zip up top for the way home
    Comfortable trousers
    Snacks and drinks
    Id advise getting some laxatives for after because the pain relief will block you up.
    Get a v pillow for night time as you need to sleep propped up.
    Some comfortable clothes for the week after surgery. Thats all i used. Hope it helps 🙂 xx

    The receptionist from the clinic rang me hun two days before with my date.

    All I took with me was a dressing gown, slippers, bra and a book which I didn’t get to read as I was pretty much seen to straight away. I do however recommend buying a v pillow for sleeping upright as its not the best position to sleep. Good luck x

    I’m also Tuesday, just getting last minute bits organised. I got two oversized night shirts that button up the front from bhs for only £8! Will be easy to get on and off 🙂

    Think I’ve got everything otherwise? Have you ladies been taking anything? I’ve been advised arnica tablets and vitamin c tablets so have been on them. (I’m not with may though)

    @emmadd thanks for that I’ll nip to BHS this week Ive been looking for some of those 🙂 I’m gonna start taking vitamin c from tomorrow as I’ve come down with an awful cold so want to be back on my feet by next week! Are you supposed to take arnica tabs before surgery? I thought it was just after, I’ll get some of those too xxx
