Thanks hon, went well. Couldn't believe how much blood they took though, about 6 tubes! ECG, MRSA swabs - this is my 5th operation and never had this before. Found out I'd lost 6.2kg and I'm only 155 cm tall - no clue what those measurements mean though, I'm still in stones, feet and inches.

 

[Tobi]

Blimey! Well, better safe than sorry I suppose!

Well done love, you lost a stone! Yay yay yay for you xxx

How you feeling now tobi? I've started packing my bag I've been going threw your list and have some questions on opp day I have pjs but the top is a vest top would this be ok or do I need a baggy one? And what's arnica cream? Do you wear a bra in surgery? I've brought windeaz but there the tablet ones I think not the chewy ones are these no good? Hope your getting on ok xxx

Hi hon, good luck with your packing, I really enjoyed putting my stuff together

I would recommend a thin, soft, baggy tshirt. This is what I took with me to the hospital but I did try a vest top at home yesterday, didn't like it. Glue starts cracking and flaking/peeling after a while and it started to catch it so I'd rather stick to baggy tops for a while.

Arnica is a herb or flower or something, used to heal bruises. It comes as a cream or tablet, I got these:
Boots Arnica Bruise Relief - 30mg - Boots and Boots Arnica 30c - 84 Pillules - Boots

You don't wear a bra during surgery but can do afterwards if you like. I wore one on the next day, didn't afterwards. Freedom to boobs!

I don't know the other Windeze ones, I got the chewable ones but in the end I find Deflatine to work best and quickest.

Hope it helps and wishing you best of luck with everything, please do keep us posted! xxx
