My surgery is set for this Monday, June 16th. In getting ready I know I have to buy that special soap, get my prescriptions filled, have enough pillows on hand and ice packs. Is there anything else I can get now that I may need? Also, what type of bra is recommended...or should I purchase...I know a sports bra but is there a type or brand that may be better or recommend over others?
