Hi Alison, I did not need to do the diet as I only had a few days notice I just ate healthy but I can imagine as soon as someone says "you cant have that" you would want it, its human nature but not long to go. My best mate came with me and she was able to stay as long as she wanted. I was in a private hospital paid by the NHS so I would imagine its the same elsewhere there are a few on here that have been "done" at Hope though and I am sure they said family stayed with them too....good luck chick its a brill start to the new year and in a few months you will get such a buzz at how you feel. The feeling inside is like you have been given something really special (well thats what it feels like for me lol)..xx

My hubby was only able to drop me off since I was first for surgery and they took me to get ready almost as soon as I walked in. He wasn't able to return until visiting hours but I hardly noticed since mostly you want to sleep after surgery. Oh, and don't wear toe polish, they will probably have you remove it!

Best of luck my dear and I am glad your day is almost here!
