Nerves

Well my lovely ladies I have 4 days to go and the nerves have finally set in yippee at least I now know I an normal.

Got 2 days off now so going to pack my over night bag apart for the basics what did everyone else take with them ? X x

I'm not staying over night with mine, it's an outpatient surgery. But my BA is in four days also. I'm getting nervous also. I'm just making sure I have everything ready for me when I get home to make myself as confortable as possible.

Hi rimiller mine is a day case swell but got a call today to say surgery is a half past one so bring my over night things just in case ...Yep gonna blitz the house and cook and freeze meals on Monday ..Good luck babe x x

Hi,



I'ts perfectly normal for the nerves to be kicking in hun and probably a bit of excitement in there to but you will be fine.



My v pillow was my best friend and great for the journey home in the car. Wet wipes were handy and make sure you have front opening pj's or night shirt.



Good luck x

Oh god bought new pj's but got vest tops didn't give it a thought best go shopping tomorrow thanks for that x x

Nerves are normal, it wouldnt be if you didnt worry, although im not quite there yet...enjoy the experience.

We are going to be surgery at the same time. My arrival time is noon and by surgery is scheduled for 1:00. My ps said the surgery will take about 70 minutes.

Ooo...so soon!I think nerves are deffinitely normal!Will be wishing you both good luck :) x

well entertainment wise, u prob only need a couple of mags as u wont be able to concentrate on the tv or even a book! some mindless celeb gossip is prob ur best bet!
ooh mobile phone charger!!! m some chocolate! he hye xxx
good luck hun, the time is to get excited now, its the best day EVER!!!!

Oooooh I am well jealous! Would love to do it again :)



Enjoy it, make the most of every moment and just relaxxxx!



Sounds like you're all prepared, make sure everything is about waist height for when you get back home...



Don't put clothes away in drawers or wardrobe's that are hard to open - you don't have much hand strength!



Get some panadol to have in between your prescription meds during the day...



Take all the drugs they offer you in the hospital, don't try to be a superhero and end up needing to be tranquilised with a litre of morphine and two nurses holding you down...



Make sure there's lots of random snacks to eat when you get home...



Wear proper underwear when you go in for surgery in case they don't give you underwear to wear (g-string = embarrassing!)...



Give your hair a triple shampoo on the day and dry it off nicely, it's going to be a while before you eash again... Ask the nurses to tie it up before you leave...



Have a sad movie waiting for the day after your operation - I have no idea why but I had tears streaming down my face on the second night (it's a side effect from the GA) so just hire a good soppy movie to get it out of your system!!!!



Sorry I am rambling on now, GOOD LUCK, ENJOY!



Thinking of you,

BKOZ been following your journey are your new boobies look fab ....... Thanks very much for the advice x x

Thanks lovely & you're most welcome. It's such a joy being able to share the experience and go through it with everyone on the forum.



Not long now! Just go along with the flow and before you know it you will be a few days post op and giving words of encouragement to all the pre op girlies.



Massive Hugs! Have a safe and enjoyable experience xxoo

* I just read my post before, when I said take panadol in between your prescription med's I don't mean on top of your prescription med's!!!



The ones the clinic give you are brilliant but as they don't give you a lot I saved their ones for night and first thing in the morning and during the day took the less strong ones I bought myself to make the good ones go further...



Definitely not reccomending a double-up on medication! You will be all woooooooooooht if you do that

I've been wondering the same thing!!

All such good tips in this thread too... Will have to jot some down so I know what to pack!
Thanks ladies x

BKOZ your very prepared and organised individual, I would love to be like you...you seem to be very Knowledgable. That bra your wearing does look very comfortable!....



Scissorsarah- I would love to be so close like you, my nerves are kicking in already and i have over 2 months to go!!...just make the most of the experience and enjoy every second, especially being waited on hand and foot, I know im going to use my hubby ALOT got my bell at the ready hehe!

Aw thanks Welshvicci, very sweet of you. It's nice to share pointers to hopefully make others journeys enjoyable :)



A few people have asked about this Bra, so I just checked it out. I got given it from my docs so I didn't buy one online, but;



The brand is - Amoena

The model is - Frances



This is a link I found - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]



I am wearing the EU 70/75 A/B (keep in mind I am impossibly small around the waist, they said I am the smallest person they have had in) and this bra is getting loose on me, I need to tumble dry it to snap it back a bit now and the cup's seem to big as well (which totally sucks - A/B??!!! Wha...???!)



But it is beautiful, so comfortable, doesn't dig in.
