I really wouldn't worry about tomorrow sweetie. Of all your BA journey this really is the easiest part.

The nurses are well aware that your skin will be sensitive to the dressings and will take their time to carefully remove them.

You don't even feel the stitches coming out either. It's all over and done with in about 15 minutes from walking in the nurses door, having a chat, getting undressed, stitches done and out the door.

There's nothing to to it babe. Xx
