    Hello.
    I’m booked in for 300cc unders on wednesday. Just wanted any advice on what to expect on the day and recovery afterwards. Excited but nervous at the same time x

    Hi Rachel. Where are you having your op?

    I literally had my op this morning at the London Fitzroy and the whole day has been lovely. The staff are all really friendly and attentive. The theatre staff were funny and took away any nerves.

    I woke up a little sore and tight but I’m already feeling better. Just waiting to see the surgeon now so I can get signed off to go back to my hotel.

    Good luck on Wednesday. Feel free to stay in touch x

    Hi Victoria.
    I’m having mine done at the Nuffield in Bristol.

    So glad that you have had a good experience. Have you had overs or unders?
    Good luck with your recovery. I hope you get signed off soon.
    I’ve got to stay in over night on Wednesday

    And thank you xx

    Hi Rachel,
    I had dual plane and stayed in overnight too.
    I didn’t have much pain at all more just bruising on my ribs but everyone seems to have had different recoveries on here.
    Just make sure you have your painkillers and zip up clothing and I found a pregnancy pillow was my saviour!
    Good luck. Xx

    Hi Rachel, I had dual plane too so over and under. I feel a bit tight and bruised but no pain. I’ve not taken any painkillers yet and I woke up from surgery at 10:30 this morning. I’m going to take a couple of paracetamol before sleeping to try and get a good night sleep. Xx

    Hi Rachel. The pain has been totally manageable with paracetamol. I have been taking two in the morning and two at night and that’s been enough for me.
    Sleeping hasn’t been too bad. I’ve just propped myself up a bit with pillows and my v pillow. I’ve slept better than I thought I would xx
