    So I’m booked in for my op on the 19 July and I’m starting to get a bit nervous now. I’m struggling to sleep with millions of things running through my head.

    Can you lovely girls put my mind at ease and run me through what happens after admission please?
    Do you get bloods, full forms, who comes to see you etc etc. Xxx

    Hey Amanda. Surgery day is great! The staff were all amazing. After many visits from nurses and your surgeon drawing on you someone comes to collect you to take you to theatre. The people there were amazing and I had to lay on operating table then they put the canulla in your hand which I was dreading so a lovely nurse held my hand. They were chatting to me the whole time keeping me calm. Next thing I remember is saying I feel really dizzy and he said that’s because your going to sleep! And that was it. I was happy they didn’t make me count down so I didn’t even realise I was going to sleep. I woke up laughing asking for wine!!! Was actually such a good day. I was making phone calls within the hour of coming out of surgery.

    I’m only 2 day post op and the pain is awful 🙁 but everyone is different so I hope yours won’t be as bad. I was more worried about the day of the surgery then the recovery! But definitely worried about the wrong part!

    Good luck !!!!!

    Hi Amanda you will be absolutely fine! I was so nervous and worried a few days before. I kept thinking it wouldn’t go ahead or something would go wrong. I think it’s normal to be nervous 🙂 the day went so fast I had an 11am admission time too and everything was done and dusted within 6/12 hours and back home. I had no bloods just a few forms to go through and a pregnancy test xxx


    @kamdavies     Happy Birthday to the girls 😀 xxx
