Yeah, I've had two sections. You'll need BIG pants that sit above your wound, you need to make sure that you've got a nightie rather than pyjama bottoms as you'll have a catheter in afterwards. Strange one now...some peppermint tea/cordial as you get horrendously painful wind from them pushing your guts around!

Thank you
