    Hi all!

    Just wondering if any of you lovely people have any top tips about what to take into hospital. Any of you take in something that you couldn’t have coped without, or equally wished you taken something that you’d not thought of?

    Literally haven’t got a clue!

    Thank you! xx

    I look button up top to wear after op, you can take pj’s to wear in your room after surgery if you are a day case but if you are in over night then you will probley already have those on your list!! Take lip balm for dry lips and any magazines if you get bored and some deodorant, the hospital provide you with tv and free wifi so take a laptop if you want to aswell!!! thats all i can think of right now!!! :) xxxx

    Thanks Nikki! When did you all first wash your hair properly? Dry shampoo is a fab idea but my hair always looks grey with it!

    I washed mine on day 4, the dry shampoo is ok but after a while i had to wash mine!!! make sure you get lots on yogurts and ice cream in as its nice on your sore throat!!! mine was particularly bad though as i was developing a throat infection so it hurt to swallow food and ice cream was a dream for it!!!

    Also try and get a V pillow so you sleep upright for the 1st 10 days at least!!! Ive been sleeping on my bf’s recliner sofa because the i kept slipping down the pillows, whens your op hun?!? xxxx

    face wipes, metal free hair band if you want to put your hair up, dont forget your BRA to put on after surgeory, camera to take pics of your new boobies, make up, large sunglasses to hide behind as no make up before op if your vain like me lol, very comfy clothes to wear after, im travelling from cornwall so im def taking a duvet for the long journey home and my V pillow.

    Hope this helps, best of luck xx

    Brilliant! Loads of fab ideas – thanks all! Op is on Monday, but it’s for rhinoplasty not new boobs! (Think my profile says breast enlargement but don’t know how to change it!)
