Morning guys!

I feel really low this morning, today I'm thinking I don't want me op, and thinking of ringing my hospital!

I'm worried now on what clothes to wear! I'm already stressing over money while I'm off!

What was all you lovely ladies wearing both in and out of hospital? The hospital where I supposed to be having it done want you out of night wear and in normal clothes! I'm thinking my jeans and leggings are going to be out of the question!

Thank you

    Cancelling the op is not an option! There is no way this pain will go away without it. Worrying about it beforehand is the worst part. Once you get there it is so much easier than you think. I am a complete coward & never been in hospital before but it was fine.

    I was told I could only wear nighties or dresses in hospital as they didn't want the hassle of having to help with putting trousers on. I couldn't wait to get home & cover up the awful stockings! Loose fitting jogging bottoms are ideal.

    Good luck, keep us all updated & try not to worry. It really will be ok.x

    I am 3 weeks post op and have been wearing leggings all the time and when I go out just wearing slip on ballerina shoes.  My partner did have to put my leggings on for me for the first couple of weeks as it was a bit difficult doing it with the grabber, but now at 3 weeks can do it myself lol.  Good luck with your op x
