Hi girls,
I am having my BA in 11 days and I’m stressing that Im not prepared enough, does anyone have a shopping list of things I need to get. I already have arnica tablets and a v pillow.
Many thanks

Sports bras
Joggers n loose clothing to go home in
V pillow
Arnica tablets
slippers/slipper socks
hair bobble with no metal
Light dressing gown
Antibacterial wipes
U need to take slippers with u, a bobble without metal in u need anti bacterial wash, sports bras, snacks, wipes, front opening top and things to keep u occupied i also found straws useful and take ur v pillow for journey home x
All of the above and I would get some ice packs or just buy ice and zip lock bags to put it in, found it really helpful for the pain. Do you have someone looking after you for the first few days? If not then put literally everything you’ll need at home at a level where you don’t have to bend down or move your arms up! Good luck hope it goes well 🙂 x
Aw that’s nice of your mum! I’m 8 days post op and can do almost everything normally again, everyone is different but I found by about day 4 I could move my arms enough to get myself dressed and I was walking around the house and garden quite easily so it’s really not that bad, you’ll be absolutely fine 🙂 x
That’s brilliant news, are you pleased with them? Did you experience any bloating or weight gain after your op I keep reading horror stories. Just added you hope you don’t mind x
