Full amount paid! its all happening!

I just called up and made full payment. with 5 weeks and 2 days to go its all I can think about! I lay awake late at night, scrolling through the forum pages reading peoples stories and browsing pre and post op pictures because im just so excited to finally have them for myself 😀

I have ordered a Macom bra and a two pack of High insensity sports bras with the plan to get measured for a shock absorber or the M&S bras afterwards. Ive already got a V pillow what else do I need? 5 weeks seems so far away but I go to vegas this weekend for a week then when I get back have a friends wedding reception then my daughters birthday and before you know it it will be boobie time!

Congrats hun! Not long to go at all those 5 weeks will fly by trust me.

Make sure you have some ibuprofen spare, front opening tops and easy to pull on pants, plenty of bendy straws so you can minimise arm movment and lots of fruit and veg. That helped me a lot when I was in my first week of recovery I think it stopped me getting constipated like a lot of the other girls did. Baby wipes are a big help and so is dry shampoo.

Don’t go too crazy buying too much before your op. I did and now have stuff I never used because turns out I didn’t need it. I have arnica cream and tablets and dulolax lablets that I have never used

Hi all,
I have the op May 22 .. Nearly 5 weeks .. I haven’t bought anything yet ..lol so thanks for the tips ..I just keep putting socks in my bra and walking around so as to use to the big change . best of luck x

Oh my god how exciting is that!! The countdown can officially begin!! I saved my list etc so have a read – I used it all.

Bio oil (or equivalent) x2 a day religiously to stop stretch marks (Boots have Bio oil on offer)
Take Arnica 30c tablets 5 days pre op and 7 days post (1 pack from Boots should do!)

Day before op – shave or wax all areas!
Remove all nail varnish from hands and feet

On op day you need:
Shower with Hibiscrub (from Boots in the first aid aisle) an anti bac shower wash
Take a hair bobble with no metal in if you have long hair (or put hair in a plait)
Take out all metal piercings (replace with plastic ones if necessary)
Your Macom or sports bra
Dressing gown
Slippers
Ipad/magazines/phone charger (could be a looooong day!)
Energy drink and snacks for after
Zip up hoodie or something to wear which you dont have to put over your head for going home
Pillow or cushion for the way home to sit between your boobies and the seatbelt!

After op:
Lots of front fastening tops
Bio Oil (only on tops and sides of boobs, avoid incisions!!)
Arnica tabs for 7 days ish post op
Senna tablets for the bloat/constipation (prepare to look 4 months pregnant for up to a week!)
V Pillow
Dry hairspray as you wont be able to wash your hair!
Anti bac baby wipes (due to not being able to shower for 7 days)
Lots of protein rich food or shakes to aid healing
Reuseable ice packs (godsend for the top of your boobs!)

On the day, take any pictures of the boobs you like, just to jog the surgeon’s memory like I did, especially if you’ve been given a choice of sizes!

Keep us posted xx
