    Can anyone help me with some advice my op is 18 days away (eek!) I’m starting to faff about what I need to take with me and clothing I need and will be comfortable in post op, I’m staying in overnight as I’m having breast augmentation mastopexy.

    Any advice welcome

    Hey, take as little as you need due to COVID and because it just makes it easier for yourself. I took a pair of loose joggers and a zip up hoodie (didn’t bother with a top it’s just extra to navigate with) and then you’ll need slippers and button up pjs. You might want to take your neck pillow too

    Hey! Thank you, great shout on the zip up hoodie and no top to navigate!
    Will I need slippers and Pjs for the hospital! The nurse on my Pre op said I don’t need pjs that I will stay in the gown? I’d rather be in pjs to be honest!

    Pillow of the hospital too? Will they not provide what I need? X

    Yeah you will probably stay in your gown but I’d take slippers as you walk down to theatre in them.

    You will have ordinary pillows yeah but you might want to take your memory foam neck pillow as it really is a game changer

    I’ve bought a comfy lounge-wear set from Primark with a front fastening top, an oversized zip up hoodie, slippers and fluffy socks. My op is Tuesday next week and I’m so so excited now. Do you have a v-pillow? You may want that if you’re staying overnight. I’m only a day case so I’m just taking what I’m wearing and my phone and airpods. I have everything at home ready to go. Just want it to hurry up now 😂

    @Vanda how exciting! I’m overnight as I’m having an uplift too. Now it’s getting closer I’m getting nervous/excited!

    I don’t have a V pillow yet but will get one. I wasn’t sure if the hospital would allow me to take it in due to Covid. I have to take my clothes in separate bags due to Covid?!

    Let me know how you get on, where and who is doing your op? X
