So ive managed to get a last min date change in thanks to my pc Hannah who is fab and I can now have my op on tues instead of in a months time eeek! Do any of you have any advice need to know what to pack as im having open ill be there overnight! And OMG it feels like only yeasterday I was at the beggining of my journey now ti,e has gone soo quick n its happening! xx
Oh wow lucky u wish I was having mine done whose ure surgeon babe? Pjs clothes to come home in pref front opening tops so u don’t pull it over face wash bit cough sweets toiletries mags xx
Thanks hun I literally went blank when thinking of what to take! Mr Gonschoir, cant wait….then hopefully get my boobs oneday. There will always be something ay lol. Are you going to have it done? Did you always know what you wanted done or did it make you want it after your boobs? Ive always wanted boobs aswell but i think if i get them ill prob find something else xx
good luck.
I’d recommend taking a bottle of water for journey home, I didn’t take one n nurses gave me a cup of water…kept spilling it everywhere…I was so thirsty after op n was constantly needing to drink. Also v shaped pillow will make you feel a lot more comfortable. Ppl recommend ice packs, arnica tablets/cream but I never used them xx

Hey, I’m having mine next thurs with Mr G at BMI, Fitzroy Square and
was going to post the same question
You getting nervous now? Which hospital are you at?
Hope all goes well x x x
Ah thanks girls. Im at Fitzroy too im surprised but im not nervous massively excited but a bit anxous about the recovery! How about you?? Xx
How exciting, good for you!
Take throat sweets and lip balm as you are so dry from breathing through your mouth (worse part of the whole thing!)
Also, blow your nose before you go in as you won’t be able to after x
yeah thats true nothing worse than having a dry throat and craving a drink! Like when you wake up after a heavy night and crave a drink in the night eugh hate that lol. I havent got a cold but my rose has been a bit runny..this will be ok wont it? :S hope so!! xx
I’m most worried about the anaesthetic…never had one before and heard it’s horrible when you wake up?! I’m going down on my own and my boyfriend’s picking me up the next day so won’t have anyone to hold my hand ;-| Sure the nurses will be on hand though!
As for the recovery I’ve booked 2 weeks off work and then I’m on restricted duties for 2 weeks after that. Aslong as the bruising has gone I can put up with the swelling. Cast off day’s gonna be exciting!
Let me know how you get on honey xxx
Ahh ive had a few and really dont remember much so they must of been fine just felt a bit disorientated! Same here my boyfriend is picking me up the next day, n im going down on the train.
Cant wait for cast off day! Yeah will do well be in the same boat so ill let you know how it goes!
