Are u a day case or are u staying over night? Take things keep u occupied, book or mag, mp3? Some places ask u to remove nail polish b4 surgery, so check on that. They should have given u a list? Take something easy to put on after surgery, for when u go home. Front fastening tops. Hair band tie hair up. Cant think of anything else other than yr usual stuff, toiletries. Good luck x

I took a large carton of pineapple juice. (Aswel as all my other things) after youranasthetic u will be extremly thirsty. Water is good but i couldnt eat afterwars so the pineapple juice was perfect x

Don't panic hun xx

I hardly took anything haha xx

I would suggest - Toiletries, pj's, dressing gown, slippers, book, laptop/ipad, phone and a book xx

Good luck xx

I did my bag the night before so I was busy doing something and nerves didn't hit me!

I was a day case and I took with me, v pillow, button up pjs, dressing gown, toothbrush n paste and lip balm which was my saviour! My lips were so sore.

If ur a daycase just prepare for an overnight stay just incase xxxx

by **kay** 28th March 2011, 3:49 pm

Good advice from LB there xx I was supposed to be day case and was only prepared for day and then they changed me to overnight so the OH had to dash to Tesco for supplies xx

Hey hun, woooo hooo bet your excited.

I was waiting for ages when I was at the hospital before my op, so I recommend taking magazines, and stuff to keep you entertained. I had a tv in my room so that helped.
Also button up pjs, slippers, deodorant, I also took feminine wipes for the next day, and your obvious toiletries. A zip up or button up top to go home in is a good idea. Also a pillow, i have a v pillow and forgot to take it and all the had there was the 1 pillow!! Other then that maybe some of your fav drinks, cartons with straws are good to make it easier for you drink.

Good luck hun. xxx

Good Luck with everything on Wed!!!!

by Lolo 28th March 2011, 8:46 pm

Thanks girls that's some great advice! And thanks for sharing that link with me cookie!!

Im a day case and never really thought I would need to stay over night but I suppose its best to be prepared!!

Also I think I'm naive in the sense that I expected to maybe hang around for no more than an hour before surgery!

Sampowell were you told you couldn't eat or was is the effectof the anesthetic? I will be purchasing a carton of it tomorrow!!

Ee I'm dead excited, Wednesday can't come quick enough!! :D

Hello hun

I was a night case, so I took button up pj's slippers, dressing gown (to cover you bum when walking to surgery lol), mints, toothbrush, magazines, grapes, arnica, zip up hoody baggy joggers, no jewellery, no nail polish, face cream, deoderant, toothpaste, phone charger as well.

Good luck xx

by Lolo 28th March 2011, 9:19 pm

I may sound stupid here but what is arnica? :/

Herbal tablets to help with bruising :-)

by Lolo 28th March 2011, 9:31 pm

Ooh really!? Are they expensive? Where can you get them from? Did they work for you? I've not really thought much about the bruising!

Sorry for all the questions Haha xxx

by sharonk 28th March 2011, 9:48 pm

Holland and barrett hun, nah no too expensive if u get the cream too yeah it helps quite a bit well worth, u won't be able to ise the cream till after you dressings are removed :-) xx

by flowergirl 28th March 2011, 9:56 pm

I'd also recommend buying some button up shirts for the days after cos you'll struggle getting things over your head.
Good luck!

by Lolo 28th March 2011, 10:11 pm

Where did you get your button up shirts from? I'm hoping I can get cheap ones from Asda or something as I wont wear them once I'm healed!

Xxx

by flowergirl 28th March 2011, 10:21 pm

You know, like those checked ones which are in the shops right now (God, I sound really old)! lol! I think New Look do cheap ones x

by sharonk 28th March 2011, 10:26 pm

Lol I was a tramp I just wore my sports bra didn't bother with tops wasn't going anywhere haha, but I now the ones u mean (primark) do them :-) xx

by candycain 29th March 2011, 7:03 pm

The things I found best to have were. Button up shirts. (A must)
Put things like pain killers and a few bottles of water by your bed and on your coffee table so you won't have to get up. I found the pain killer made it impossiable for me to focus on book. I slept alot. This is a good thing.

Get yourself some high fiber snacks!! The belly bloat is awful! it was worse than the sore boobs! My husband wound up running out and getting me laxitives and supositories, and prune juice and hemmroid cream!!! It was awful! I would definitly recomend the high fiber and prune juice from day 1 so that you don't wind up in a very uncomfortable way!
I know it is scary but try really hard to relax! Best wishes!!

Ooh good shout candy, I was soooo bloated for 5 days I had aloe vera juice which didn't help so my bf went and got apricots and they worked really well along with beans on toast haha. :-) all good now just....

by POTCHIE123 30th March 2011, 11:47 pm

I hope everything went well.
Enjoy the new you.

by shell143 31st March 2011, 6:12 am

Hey lolo... How did it go? I also had mine done yesterday. :)

by Lolo 31st March 2011, 7:06 am

Thanks for the best wishes, girls.

Shell everything went well with the op. Yesterday I was like key this isn't that bad! Then I came home at tea time and just the moving around made me sore. This morning I couldn't even get myself out of bed so I got a little frustrated and upset.

I also had a funny turn where I burned up was gagging to be sick and sweating like mad!!

How did your op go? How are you managing with things. Your lucky u had overs, they say they are better for healing?

I also had the hot flushes and nearly threw up when I tried to eat a banana...

This morning my left bum cheek is in soooo much pain from sleeping upright...

I can't stop looking at them in mirror even if I am a bit skeptical of how pointy they are... There isn't too much pain... I jut feel a bit stretch out and they feel numb...
