    Hi girls! Just a quick query about how you’re all travelling?
    I live just over an hour’s drive from the hospital I’m having my surgery at, and it’s quite a straightforward journey but my partner doesn’t drive! I also have no one that can take me, so I’m having to look at public transport. It’d be okay getting most of the journey done by train, but I’d then have to hire a (very expensive!) cab for the last part of the trip. I’m also aware that the hospital won’t discharge me unless someone is with me, so this is causing quite a few problems as you can imagine.

    I’m due for surgery on the 15th of July so I’m having to think fast!
    Anyone have any ideas/are in the same boat as me? :/

    Hun you won’t be able to drive after. You’re not allowed to due to the general anaesthetic. You shouldn’t drive 2 weeks after the op either. I was collected by my boyfriend and there us not way I could have drive if I was allowed to. I was a day case. Might be different if you’re staying overnight but again they tell you not to drive for 2 weeks as the implants could move. They even told me not to risk getting a train. Not sure how much your cab will be but think about how much your spending on the op versus how much you wouldn’t want to ruin you recovery and new boobs. You will need a chaperone when you leave. I didn’t need one when I arrived xx
