Thanks

Hi odgemodge, have you started to take your vitamins yet? i started mine the same time i started my pre-op, you will need pain killers.. nurofen melts i use as they melt on your tongue.. you wont be able to swallow tablets after your op, i took a slim fast with me and a couple of cup a soups, i didnt have the slim fast and all i could manage was about 1/4 of cup a soup as that filled me x

Hey odgemodge eh wee post op dressings, loose clothing, pain relief the ones they give on discharge are discusting so i use nurofen melts but some here didnt like them i loved them em just have juice and cuppa soups for when u come home em my mind is doing a blank if i think of more il let u know

Hey,

Yes I started taking milk thistle last week! but my god they make me wee lots! did anyone else have that problem!

I Also bought the chewable multi vits from boots (silver bottle with pink label) They were on offer 3 for 2 so am fully stocked for 6 months!!! also thay have vitamin b in which will be good for hair apparently!!!

How big will the dressings have to be as i had a look in boots for wound dressings but there were 2 different sizes small and large but the large ones didn't look that large really and i'm not sure how big my wounds will be???:thumbdown:

Hey odgemodge the biggest scar i had was a inch and that was port scar the other 4were tiny less than half inch

My port scar is about 2 inches but the others are pretty small, lucky you flirty. How are your scars looking now x

I can just about see my scars if i look for them they are real pale white can hardly see them at all

Another thing odemodge is take slip on shoes or trainers as you wont be able to bend down and dont be afraid to ask for help in the airport if you need it x

How long did they take to get to that stage, mine are still purple(ish) but starting to fade x
