Sounds like you have it all sorted Tinky - good luck on Friday
 
take a b4 pic BEFORE YOU GO, there excellent to have as you progress with the weight loss, lots of people forget and wished they had a b4 pic, take 1 from the front and 1 from the side. X
 
Buy some laxatives before you go so you have some in the house. You will need them! Good luck x
 
plenty of pillows for your bed at home as you will probably feel far more comfortable sleeping sitting up for the first couple of nights......

I would also suggest dry shampoo for use at home as you cant get your wounds wet for a good few days and its very hard to wrap clingfilm (as often suggested) round yourself before you shower so if you (like me) cant afford to pop to the hairdressers every 5 minutes it does help you feel better.


Boots do own brand self adhesive wound dressings in packs of 5 (for 5 wounds lol) and they are cheap as chips so good if yours start to come unstuck.

its really hard to put your shoes on as you cant bend at all and also a non underwired bra as the top wound is close to where the bra goes

and remember you will be just fine and on Saturday you will have joined us on the loosing side :D
 
Yeah, non wired bra - good point. x
 
Thanks everyone
see u all on losers side really soon.xx
 
looking forward to you joining us losers on your return x
