Any pre-op advice would be massively appreciated xx

So I can’t believe it’s only 12 days away and my life is going to change forvever. Been dreaming of having the op for years. I’m going under the muscle so I’m aware the recovery can take longer. Any advice or suggestions would be fab. Thanks in advance xx

Put everything you will need within reaching distance twisting and reaching is a no go, buy a v pillow i got one for £12 from asda. Buy tops that zip up as its very difficult to get anything over your head. Hope that helps x

Just make sure you take it super easy, make sure people help you getting up or reaching for anything as you cant move your arms much, get a neck pillow to help you sleep while basically sat up, and if you find it really painful like i did, don’t lose hope cause it improves very fast! Im now 10 days post op & back at work and driving etc. Good luck xxx

Thank you both. I have zip up clothes, have the v pillow sorted and got my mum looking after me for a week. I will try to stay strong, thanks again xxx

nice, thanks!
I’m also having my op in 12 days and getting right now my v pillow! xx
