going in for TUG recon

Last reply: 16 February 2014 09:12

finally got a date for my reconstruction! going in Tuesday 25th for TUG recon (They take from my thighs to make a new boob) Has anyone had this? can anyone offer any last minute advice?

Also surgery is in Beaumont and their web page says no electrical equipment, does this apply to phones and tablets, or did anyone use these whilst in? I used both phone and laptop in Limerick and they had no problem with me charging them on the ward.

Can't answer re TUG as I had lat dorsi but I brought phone to hosp as was able to use it. That said there are sings up to say you can't use electronic equip as they interfere with equipment but I'd imagine you will be in a post surgery ward with minimal equipment.

Best of luck with the op. who is doing your surgery???
