    Hi ladies
    dmx and going flat ( AFC) oct 6 unless an earlier date arises. What items should I have for hospital stay? 
    Does hospital supply the chest binder? Do I need to supply drain holders ? Etc 
    Due to underlying health issues I’ve asked to stay in hospital 2-3 days bfore going home

    Hi there
    every hospital is different .
    mine didn’t supply drain holders or a pillow, others do.
    also some plastic surgeons believe in compression garments and others don’t ( mine didn’t)
    do you have a breast care. Ruse you can check this with ?
    I found a wedge pillow good when I got home to sleep on my back - I bought it on Amazon.
