exactly one month to go!!

by g0902 5th May 2013, 11:39 am

So it is exactly one month to my surgery date today - woooo. Time has went by so quickly so hopefully this final month goes even quicker!
Just wondering if there is anything i should be doing at this stage to prepare - i am off my pill, got some sports bras, sorted time off work and organsied lifts to and from the clinic.. anything else i should buy or do girls? :)

Up at night* sorry phone is a nightmare! x

Yer i was going to say the V pillow! The girls say there great to help you sleep and get comfortable but also on the journey home to make sure the seatbelts not squishing you!
Exciting times! :D x

by g0902 5th May 2013, 1:28 pm

Had a look there at that Argos one.. All 5* reviews on it so i have reserved one to collect. £10 is brilliant and be well worth the money if it helps get a good night sleep. :-) ahh i know!! So excited, cant come quick enough :) xxx

I've got the Silentnight one, picked it up from ASDA for a tenner. Its so so so comfy to sleep on in general, and is really great for keeping you propped up the first few days when you have to sleep upright. xx

by g0902 5th May 2013, 1:46 pm

I will have a look at that one too then! Im sure they all do a similar job. Thanks for the advice girls :-) is there anything else im missing? Im only a day case xx

by Ktwin2 5th May 2013, 1:54 pm

Everything is there for you when you get to the hospital. They provide slippers and you don't need a dressing gown, the theatre gown will cover you fine if you tie it so the back isn't open. There should be a tv in your room for passing the waiting time so really just your phone charger (you don't want your phone dying).
Oooh and plan an outfit that will be easy to get on when you leave, some kind of button up top because you won't be able to lift your arms too much, and nothing difficult for the bottom, nothing that needs to effort to get on so maybe no skinny jeans? xx

Definitely a V pillow! I can't sleep without it. (I also have the silent night one from asda it comes in a carry case and has a pillow case so it's quite good!)

Also I'd recommend getting some button up pjs and dry shampoo! Life savers for the first few days

I moisturised my boobs every day up until my op but aside from that you sound all set! How exciting! I'm sad my day has been and gone xx

by g0902 5th May 2013, 7:52 pm

So many things i wouldn't have even thought about. Button front pjs will definitely be next on my list along with the V pillow. Might get myself some loose tracksuit bottoms too to make it easier to get dressed. Will head to Asda to have a look for the silent night pillow theres one nearby me.

Were u advised to moisturise? I read something on a forum about avoiding products? Ahh how did ur day go hun? Cant wait for mine to wake up with boobies. Starting to get nervous though cant believe its actually happening! :-) seems surreal xox

by Lisa34 5th May 2013, 8:11 pm

Bio oil is good for the boobs pre BA! But you won't be able to use it for about 6 weeks after your BA. Definatly button up pj's, blouses etc. and frozen peas, a great help with swelling, and the sunburn feeling x this month will fly by huni x

by g0902 5th May 2013, 8:16 pm

Oh really? I have some in the house so might start that one tonight! Is that just for when skin stretches post op?

Have loads of hoodies etc which may also do the trick but button pjs are definitely my next purchase - gets me excited buying stuff :-)

Ahh i really hope so. Mixed emotions of nerves and excitement! Xx

by Lisa34 5th May 2013, 8:29 pm

Yeah it just helps to condition the skin, and helps avoid stretchmaks! It's a really exciting time, I felt everything was real when I bought stuff! Best thing Ive ever done. Enjoy it huni, it's over so quickly x

by g0902 5th May 2013, 8:39 pm

Sounds good. Will definitely start. Is it ok to use right up until day of op?
Buying my first sports bras was brilliant and i still remember the nerves when i booked my first consultation in January!! Cant believe its just round the corner! :-) xxx

by Lisa34 5th May 2013, 8:51 pm

Yeah just don't use it on op day! Who's your surgeon? And what size are you hoping for hun? It really is so exciting, and when you get to 6weeks post op you get the excitement of buying your first proper bra lol! X

by g0902 5th May 2013, 9:02 pm

I live in northern ireland so you probably wont recognise the name but hes called Stephen Sinclair works from the Fitzwilliam Clinic in Belfast. He seems to be a fab surgeon have spoken to a few girls who had him who all had good experiences :) im having 300cc and hoping for a full C... Hopefully. Im a 32a/aa now, 7st5 and about 5"6ish.

Seriously cant wait!' I have a holi booked at very end of august .. I know ill have to keep them out of the sun and wear tankinis etc but i just cant wait :-) xx

by Lisa34 5th May 2013, 9:19 pm

Aww it is a fantastic experience! I would definatly do it all over again! I had 325cc anatomicals. And I love them! Have you got someone to look after you for the first few days/week?

by g0902 5th May 2013, 9:42 pm

I think i saw your picture trail a few weeks ago and they looked amazing. would be delighted if i got results like yous. your avi is also looks fab!! :)
Im having 300cc anatomicals too! What size were you pre op and post op? :)
My mum has taken the first week off to give me a hand. She used to work in a cosemetic surgery clinic as a nurse for patients post-op. So she will be a great help!! Have a few weeks off work too which should be plenty of time to recover

I got my button up Pjs from Sainsburys for £12 and they're super comfy and quite pretty too lol! I ordered my V pillow online to collect from Asda it was only £7 and was in store to collect the next day exactly one month to go!! 3965254117

I wasn't advised to moisturise but I saw a lot of ladies on here were moisturising just to try and help the skin become more supple before the op. I used bio oil or cocoa butter every day for about 5/6 weeks and the skin was really soft in the end exactly one month to go!! 727661855

My day was soooo nice I was really really scared as it was my first ever op but the staff were amazing and I would've stayed another night in hospital if I could it was that nice lol. Make sure you enjoy every minute because it will soon fly by!! xx

by g0902 5th May 2013, 11:31 pm

I need to go on a wee shopping spree to buy all these bits and pieces. makes me more excited when buying though :) I had a wee look there at the V pillow on Asda, going to order it tomorrow to collect at the store - can't argue with £7!

I have some bio oil in the house so starting this tonight :-) thanks for that suggestion :) my surgeon hasn't really given any sort of information regarding moisturising or even a V pillow!

I am in the same boat. its my first ever op too and absolutely terrified of the GA :( glad to hear you were looked after! i am only a day case, my mum is a nurse though so she is going to look after me. :) Really can't wait now.. getting so close

xx

by Ktwin2 5th May 2013, 11:42 pm

Ive started using bio oil as of today and I'm 9 days post op, I'm just making sure it stays well away from my scars x

by g0902 5th May 2013, 11:42 pm

congrats on ur boobies hun! how was ur surgery day? :) xx
