    Hi ladies!
    Can’t actually believe it but after 3 years I’ve eventually booked my surgery for December with Dr Mounir.

    I just wanted some advice / opinions please!

    Would you recommend staying at the hotel 2 nights? (Before and after surgery) (going to Preston from newcastle, so it’s quite a drive)

    Also would you recommend the MYA bras or a different brand?

    And has anyone had surgery when they have a small child?
    My little boy is nearly one, I’m a little worried about healing time and being able to pick him up etc. I have loads of support and help, but I don’t want to feel useless over Christmas!

    Is there anything you’d recommend taking to the hospital aswell?

    Thank you !!

    @staceymlx thank you!!
    I’m going to book both nights and just see what time my op is. If it’s early I’ll stay over before hand 🙂

    I’m on my own with my son now, but my mam has offered to have him over night or stay here, coz I won’t be able to pick him out the cot for a while!

    Thanks xx
