Hi @Priti98. It's such a horrible time waiting for surgery and wondering what exactly is going to happen. I had a double mastectomy in November with immediate implants (nipple sparing). I have some photos in the breast reconstruction group. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I recommend you have a few button up tops and pj top with buttons as well for your hospital stay and recovery at home. Will the hospital provide you with a drain bag and a mastectomy pillow? If not, have a look to see if there is a local charity in your area that would be able to provide you with items like that. All the best for your surgery and recovery.
