Nerves and last minute pointers

So my op is Friday, VERY excited but nerves are definitely kicking in now.
A few last minute things which I’m unsure on…
The nurse at my Pre Op didn’t tell me to sleep sitting up but I’ve already got my V Pillow anyway. Does anyone know how long they recommend you sleep upright for?
Also, was anyone given anti sickness medication during the op intravenously or is it just afterwards they give you something for it?

Think its around 6 weejs sleeping upright depending how ur feeling.

My ba is today and must be excitement or nerves coz I dont need to be up till 7, but I am awake already.

Blimey that’s early Laura. Good luck 🙂

Most people have said you sleep upright for 2 weeks, I’m asking the nurse next week when I get my strapping off I do not sleep at all! Lol and as far as I know you arnt given anything for sickeness unless you need it or ask I felt
Sick briefly after my op but that wore off on its own:) x

I slept quite flat last night I’m 7 days PO my back couldn’t take anymore sleeping upright! Xx

You need to sleep upright for 7 days PO to let the implant settle in the pocket but lots of us sleep upright a lot longer for comfort reasons. Good luck x

ahhh fab, thanks ladies. xx

Oh i can deal with 7 days.

Yer I was awake early Lucinda, cudnt sleep with excitement lol.

And btw dont be nervous at all, staff are amazing and u r well looked after.

Thanks Laura, that’s nice to hear
