Tomorrow at Preston!

I’m in tomorrow at Preston and my admission time is 09:30. So excited now, just hope I sleep tonight! Decided to go for the 385ccs if my surgeon agrees which should take me to a DD. I don’t really want to go any bigger.

Anyone got any last minute advice or last minute ideas of what I should take with me? How long do you think I’ll be in before I go to surgery/get to go home?

I’ve got the following in my bag so far:
– 3 bras (2 post surgery ones in different sizes & a zip up sports brain DD)
– my laptop with loads of films on incase I’m waiting ages!
– mouthwash for when I wake up (I’ve got dental hygiene OCD)
– a protein bar & Lucozade for when I come round & am allowed to eat again
– cushion for the car journey home

I’ve already bagged up my old bras to go to the bra bank. Any ladies who’ve had their op and want to get involved there is info online; http://www.againstbreastcancer.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/recycling/513/bra-recycling/.
Some charity shops won’t take old bras but we’ve got a bra bank in my work which is always brimming full of useable bras!xx

Good luck sounds like ur well prepared.

I think that’s everything… I had about a two-three hour wait between getting there and going into surgery but most of that time I was doing paperwork with the nurses, meeting the anaesthetist and meeting with my surgeon again, I had my cannula put in early as well so they could give me something to make me relax as I was quite anxious which really worked. You aren’t supposed to take food in and they brought me some toast and tea in when i was normal again from the anaesthetic, they make sure you can keep your food down and after you’ve been for a wee then you can go home, it’s about three hours after surgery. Oh I think it was five pounds as well for wi-fi. Good luck, let us know how you get on 🙂 xxx
