Hospital bag

Hi girls!! Iv got my op on Tuesday 5th April I’m so excited but getting nervous too!! I want to make sure I’m fully prepared and have everything I need. What do I need to take to the hospital and what is good to have at home.
Any help or advice would be great. Thanks xx

Are u day case or over night ?

Good luck with your surgery! I’m booked in for the 13th. Was going to ask the same question as you!

Hi girls I’m a day case, I go in at 8am xx

Ok I was a day case I took in dressing gown and slippers.. Something comfortable to wear home I wore a jumpsuit that zipped up at the back. Take 2 different sizes of bras in . The ones I took were to small had to rush out and buy new ones . I was a 34 a I had 325cc overs I brought a 34 c and a 34d . Had to go up a size and got a 36 d now fits fine. Good luck hope it goes well. Also for home get a v pillow and I’m going to get a neck pillow as im still finding it hard to sleep to much strain on my neck.. Hope this helps x

Thanks Cath that’s great Iv got a v shaped pillow and my kids have got neck pillows so I’m ok there. As for bras Iv got large sports bras and a 34c one. I’m a 32a and I’m getting 325c fitted do you thi k the sports bras I have will be ok xx

Yea they seem ok but get a 34 d aswell just to b safe. Leave the tags on so u can take the ones u don’t need bk. x

That’s a good idea Cath thanks for your help X

How are you feeling after yours when did you get yours done x

Hi
I’m feeling really gd apart from sleeping which is difficult I hate sleeping on my bk. getting sore neck bk and bum. It’s hard sleeping sitting up a bit. Got my neck pillow today so I hope that helps tonight. I had my surgery last sat and felt fine straight away could move my arms which was gd.. I was admitted at 7.30am was taken through to my bed by 8. Done my checks met the anesative (can’t spell that word lol) and surgeon . Was on way to theatre by 9 and bk on ward at 10. So for me was really quick no waiting around. I remember waking up and touching my boobs straigh away lol. Had no pain only just sore like wen ur due on. I was so shocked. Nurse checks on u every half hour . Felt little dizzy wen she sat me to put bra on but was ok once I ate a sandwich. Left hospital by 2pm and went to asda to get more sports bras (they didn’t fit either lol) took my pain killers for 2 days just to be safe didn’t really need them but just took them in case? It’s hard sitting around doing nothing looking forward to Monday get strapping off x

I’m not looking forward to the sleeping part at all but I’m hooping I have enough pillows to make me comfy, fingers crossed!! Did you get a better sleep last night with your neck pillow?
I hope I’m as quick as what you are I think the nerves will get to me if I am I can’t believe it’s just 2 more sleeps so much cleaning and preparing to do the next couple of days.
What time is your appointment tomorrow I bet you can’t wait to see them. What size did you go from and what did you get if you don’t mind me asking xx

I was 34a and got 325cc overs and I’m in a 36d sports bra at the mo.. Didn’t get much slee again starting to hate bedtime. If it’s not my neck hurting its my bk and bum from being propped up.. Appointment is at 6pm .. Can’t wait to see them properly.. Yea that’s wot I did all the cleaning housework and food shopping. And most of all washed hair and shaved pits and legs as u can’t do that for a while. X bring everything u need out of the cupboards so u don’t stre to much x

I had my op Tuesday I took phone and charger my sports bra comfy clothes easy to put on to travel home in I took two pillows in the car one to sit on and one to put In front of my boobs to hold the belt off me I also took a can of Coke witch really helped give me energy before I left the hospital just makes u feel human instead of a walking zombie lol good luck xx

Hi Cath, been totally rushed the past 2 days trying to make sure I have everything done!! Just one lot of washing left thank god, shopping and cleaning all done just need to pack my bag!!
I can’t believe it’s tomorrow ?? far too excited!!! I went to Asda before and got another sports bra in 34d and iv left the tag on like you recommended!!

Good luck for your appointment later xx

That’s good Cath I didn’t think you could shower for 2 weeks.

Did she mention anything about lying down so you can get some sleep.

I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonight with excitement, like a child before Christmas haha x
