this time next week!!!!!!!!!!! what do i need???

Hey there everyone, this time next week i will be having my op or waiting, not got my admission time yet as only a week to go.

Any advice i should have? what is the best thing to take with me pjs or dressing gown and what else.

still need to book my hubby into a hotel, and still need to find a 32dd sports bra which is very hard to find unless i wanna spend £20 on one. xx

22ks- Wow, that is exciting! Are you a day case or overnight? I had mine last Wednesday at Highgate London on a daycase, my admission time was 9:30 but came about 15 minutes early, we were taken to my room about 9:30 by a porter. I went in the hospital with leggings and zip up top, but also brought with me a track bottoms and loose zip up track top which came in handy when I went home in the evening. The hospital will give you a dressing gown and you are bound to be on it until you get discharged. I took a book (but did not managed to read it), my blackberry came in handy while my hubby was on the laptop (there is a wifi connection), chargers for the electronics, bubble bath and the most important one was the V pillow. The pillow in the hospital is too flimsy.

hi i took dressing gown and comfy bottoms and a loose zip up top but just sat in my gown they give u before op and after u dont care so just needed my bottoms n top to go home , id buy a good sports bra if i was u cause your gonna live in it for next 6 weeks mine comes off for hand wash and goes back on , then slippers for walking down to theatre and some toiletries i was sweating so much before my op i had a little wash in my room to freshen up as u cant wear deoderant… good luck xxx

Ooh me too!Can’t believe how fast it’s coming round,I’ll probably be shaking with nerves!Good luck with your op x

22ks-oh about the sports bra, I got one, but I am not using it at the moment…I prefer using a boob tube with elasticated supports. My daughter got me one for £3 from sports world. I have my nurse appointment tomorrow so I’ll see what she suggests.

i would probably buy 34 aswell, as im normally a 30 /32, but the 32 is too tight on me and i feel like i cant breathe! im 1 week post op.

good luck!!

Hey keepmesweet, thanks for your advice, im a overnight stay wish i done the day case now tho so i can stay in the hotel with my husband but its done now. did you not live that far from the hospital? oh sugar im going have to buy a v pillow ha. how you feeling as you are nearly a week with some new assets xx

Hi lila, im going to suffer with no deoderant im always spraying myself so i will def be giving myself a wash over, i have just bought a 32dd bra off net so hopefully it will be here tomorrow or thursday. thanks for your advice xx

Laura1989, i did buy a 34d do you think this is ok? i did think with all the swelling etc i will need a bigger size. how are you feeling a week post op? xx

Thanks girls xx

22ks-I decided to do a day case as I only leave 40 minutes away from the Highgate London. The V pillow has been my life saver…sleeping is a nightmare until now. I will be 7days post op tomorrow and will be seeing the nurse at Holborn Clinic, hopefully without any problem. I am walking about more now as my bum has been too sore, but my right boob is giving me a ripping pain and when I lift my right hand it gives a painful sensation to my boob.Getting up even from upright was a pain. Between 1-100, I think I am about 40% better. Going to the clinic tomorrow will be exciting as I will be out of the house for the first time.

Don’t rush about and take things slowly. You will be out of breath for awhile and could not lift heavy things. While your at home, I suggest you have all your pjs or change of clothes ready at home for your hubby to assist you with…like button fronts.

If you aim to take a shower n the hospital, make sure you do that before your surgeon starts drawing on you. I aim to shower in there, but the surgeon has already drawn on me.

Goodluck and stay positive!

Hi keepmesweet, i have just been out anfd bought the v pillow so thats that done, well my husband is home that week i dont know if this is a good or bad thing i think he may drive me mad ha ha but he is going to take care of the kids so i got time to rest.

hope all went ok at the clinic, what cc did you get?

thanks for all your advice xx

22ks i got my bras yesterday from matalan. They were £6 each and there proper post-op bras there half decent aswell. I got my admission time today for next wednesday i am sooo excited xx

Hi tasha2312, oh matalan i never thought of that shop i dont suppose you know if they do 32dd it normally says on back of bra what sizes they do.
