Surgery on Friday and don't know what to take?!

Hello lovely ladies, my surgery is on Friday and I have no idea what to take?! Can anyone advise me on what to take with? Anything that helps with car journey etc?
Thankyou girlies, mwah! XX

hey hun!

Im taking sports bra / macom..
open front pj’s, slip on shoes, zip front hoody (and clothes for bottom half- just leggings nice and easy)
ive got a v pillow and a usual pillow to put over my chest under my seatbelt.

I’m taking dvds and my laptop for entertainment.
im taking paracetamol and ibuprofen.

I’m taking arnica tablets and multivitamins to start taking post op.

I’m taking water, lucozade, and some protien bars and some chocloate! – plus straws to put in my drinks.

hope this helps xx

@ness318 Has definitely got it all sorted there. That’s pretty much what I took with me. I’d take ice packs if you can. I found these have helped lots! @imogencooper good luck to both of you ladies! I had my op on Saturday so if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them 🙂 xxx

You are a life saver! I had thought about some of those things but others I hadn’t even thought of taking!!
Thanks Hun!
When’s your surgery??…. Xx

Ahhhh that’s good to know! Ice packs…check!

I cannot wait!

@ness318 I haven’t been without mine at the minute. I’m still applying ice today because they’re so swollen. I’d advise having some if you can. xxx

I have added you both!
Thanks for your help!
Ahhhh good luck babe, I know exactly how you’re feeling

Think this is cutting off half of my replies but thankyou to all of your girlies for your help xxxx

You’re welcome! I’ve accepted. Good luck and keep us updated. What size are you both having? xx

I’m having 425cc, with teardrop implant going under the muscle!! I don’t know whether I’m excited or scared haha!! Xx

im having 350cc @hayleycx so a bit smaller than you!
where did you get your ice packs from?
i’m about to go shopping so i’ll see if i can get some!xx

Ebay! Koolpak reusable ice pack, about £3, they only did the one use ones in boots for £5 when I looked xx

no @haleycx i’m with mr mounir! thanks @tracyface
i’ll have a look now! you are very very organised!!xxx

Hi girls!! Where do you get your sports bras from? Am gettin 600/700. Hes not sure yet so dunno wot size to get? N where yous get pillows. Thankyoussss x

Straws have saved my life! I struggle to pick up a glass and drink from it so my boyfriend holds the glass with a straw and i just lean over! Xx

@clairelk I’d suggest buying Macoms. They’re a God send! You only need to know your current back size and order that. The cups are adjustable so they’ll go with whatever size you have. xx

Thanx hayley al get a cuple ov them. And some straws x

Thankyou dolls !! X
