My surgery is in two days, nervous what is the best supplies to buy? Is using a diuretic good idea? Do I need to buy a faja? I haven't yet!

I flew in yesterday, and staying at the Best Western by the airport for 2 days then I'll be staying at new way life recovery house. So far setting everything up with Spectrum and trip details has gone very well. I posted a before side pic, oh lord can't wait for it to look much different soon!!

So far Spectrum has been great! Has anyone gone in prior to their preop appt? I am curious about implant sizing and wondered if I can stroll over to get prescriptions n such?? I'm here now and anxious/nervous!! Ahhhh! My flight went well and I'm staying at Best Western by airport 2 days the going to A new way life Recovery House.

I will be going two days before my surgery. Try to enjoy as much as you can.

I don't think i would use a diuretic....maybe later on after you heal a bit....compression is best to reduce swelling. So a faja and maybe some compression sock for the flight. Definitely have loose clothes. Like a maxi dress. Ive seen people buy those big maxi pads to help soak up blood from lipo...I would grab wet wipes...possibly flushable wipes because if you get a tummy tuck, cleaning yourself may be difficult. You might grab some stool softener so you don't strain to go after. You'll want a pillow or boppy. I haven't had my surgery yet, but ive had three c-sections, so I know what its like to be cut open. Dermoplast spray will help with incision pain after bandages come off. Hope this helps! Good luck!!!
