Rhino preparation?

Hi ladies,

Well in just over 2 weeks ill be having closed rhino with Dr G. Nerves have started kicking in… How can I best prepare? Ive brought a v pillow so far…

Thanks x

Hi Rosey 🙂 How exciting!! I had open rhino with Dr G & I was given such great advise from the girls on here..
– V pillow is great, I just propped myself up with the cushions I already had haha!
– Lots of mags, books & DVDs, as you’ll be out of action for a bit..
– Straws!! You’ll be surprised how hard it is to drink after your op lol :/
– Vaseline 🙂 Where you have to breath through your mouth for a while, you’ll get dry lips..
– Dry shampoo if you don’t already have any. It just makes you feel cleaner during the time you can’t wash your hair lol..
That’s all I can think of at the moment, but feel free to add me for pics & stuff xx

As above!
I’m 2 days post op and couldn’t have got through without straws and my V pillow – a god send was also a neck support for the journey home and a fleece for the car!
All the best if luck, I’m really uncomfy at the moment but its so worth it xx

Thanks ladies! I never considered straws! Xx

I didnt bother with straws! I just ate loads of ice haha. It was easier to chew rather than try to breath and swallow as its difficult.

Dont forget Vest tops and zip up hoodies as you cannot pull anything over your head.

Feel free to add me, Im nearly 2 years in May x x
