Hi
I had WLE and sentinel node op on 4th March, I hate hospitals and was very nervous of having an operation. I was in the ward from 7am and was last on the list so went down for op at 3.30pm and arrived back on the ward about 7pm ish but I still managed to get out at 10pm that night. lol. I had the option of staying the night but knew I would be better off at home.
Drink loads and loads of water after the op, it helps to clear it out of your system. And if you’re having blue dye your wee is a lovely turquoise colour.
Good luck, i found the lead up was worse than actually going for the op
I had an appointment for results 2 weeks after.

Also another tip which you have probably read on here is to make sure you have a loose comfy bra to sleep in. I made the mistake of thinking because I am small busted that I wouldn’t need to wear a bra at night but you do.
I bought some bra extenders from ebay when I got home, they just clip onto the fasteners to give you an extra couple of inches, they are great and very cheap

I did buy a couple of bras from Marks but they didn’t fit right so I ended up with just non wired very lightly padded bras but as I said you seem to need 2 or 3 inches more than you normally wear. I suppose that is due to the swelling. I tried going up a size but then they didn’t fit me on the cup - I’m small only 36 so I found the strap expanders on my normal size was the best way to loosen them for me.
A lot of people go for the sports bras.
Good luck

Hi
I got really cheap sports bras on ebay. I really needed them. I thought I would be ok without but every time I stood up gravity did its job and it was sore. I’m only a b cup so thought it wouldn’t matter.
wore them night and day so it was a good investment at £2 each. I got my results in just under 2 weeks.
the blue wee is funny and the green poo.
Your exercises are a must, if it’s sore do them half an hour after pain killers, take some wipes with you as hospitals are always too hot.
good luck,

Forgot to say, keep a cushion in the car, use it under the seatbelt. I felt every bump in the road on the way home and used the cushion for a few weeks after op. Looked stupid but who cares.
Hi fowey
I used the cushion for weeks. Just put it under the seat belt over my wound and moved it about until comfortable. Looks stupid and got a few stares at trafic lights. I had a second op and open wound so needed all the extra padding. If you have to stop quickly it can be very painful.

Hi I have just had my operation on Wednesday. I had to stay overnight in hospital due to low blood pressure. I get my results on Thursday just over a week later. I’m dreading the results. Yes the blue wee is very strange.
