I saved my list etc so have a read – I used it all.
Bio oil (or equivalent) x2 a day religiously to stop stretch marks (Boots have Bio oil on offer)
Take Arnica 30c tablets 5 days pre op and 7 days post (1 pack from Boots should do!)
Day before op – shave or wax all areas!
Remove all nail varnish from hands and feet
On op day you need:
Shower with Hibiscrub (from Boots in the first aid aisle) an anti bac shower wash
Take a hair bobble with no metal in if you have long hair (or put hair in a plait)
Take out all metal piercings (replace with plastic ones if necessary)
Your Macom or sports bra
Dressing gown
Slippers
Ipad/magazines/phone charger (could be a looooong day!)
Energy drink and snacks for the drive home lol
Zip up hoodie or something to wear which you dont have to put over your head for going home
Pillow or cushion for the way home to sit between your boobies and the seatbelt!
After op:
Lots of front fastening tops
Bio Oil (only on tops and sides of boobs, avoid incisions!!)
Arnica tabs for 7 days ish post op
Senna tablets for the bloat/constipation (prepare to look 4 months pregnant for up to a week!)
V Pillow
Dry hairspray as you wont be able to wash your hair!
Anti bac baby wipes (due to not being able to shower for 7 days)
Lots of protein rich food or shakes to aid healing
Reuseable ice packs (godsend for the top of your boobs!)
On the day, take any pictures of the boobs you like, just to jog the surgeon’s memory like I did, especially if you’ve been given a choice of sizes!
Good luck Keep us posted xx
p.s. @charlie17 – I never got offered jam with my toast!! 🙂
