I didn't take anything unusual in,but did take far too much!
Take just what you need,you will honestly sleeping most of the time.
The best thing I took was soft bra's(so wounds don't get rubbed by wire)
Nighties,pjs bottoms may also rub on wounds and dry mouth spray was best things I took x

 

[holliepop]

thanks for the advice emma louise i,ve bought nighties i usually wear pyjamas but thought they might rub x

Nothing funny but the best things I took were dry moth spray, lip balm, hand cream, ear plugs and a big soft pillow to hold on my tum on the way home ! I took face and baby wipes too though the hospital actually provided a large pack of wipes.

Thing I forgot was lip balm coz never usually use it. My sister had to bring some in & how I needed it.

 

[holliepop]

never thought about a pillow or lip balm x

I'm making a list and pillow is at the top, just in case hospital ones are in plastic underneath that crisp cotton covering!! Otherwise minimal - well that's the plan xx

 

[holliepop]

THe nurse at my pre op said pjs would be betta than a nighty cos when they come to look at your wounds you only have to lift everything up whereas with pj's is only the top to lift. as long as they elastic waist n not too tight you will be fine, only used my nighty after he op for the first visitting then went into gym jams, personally found it ok. xx
