Just thought I would give a quick update. I had my op this afternoon and had 485cc overs UHP.
My admission time was 1pm. I was shown straight to my room, urine sample done and obs done. Then came in the anethatist (sorry for the spelling) talked me through what was going to happen and was in her way. Then came in my surgeon! He again talked me through what was going to happen and made sure I was happy with the agreed size and then came out his pen lol. Off he went. I was walked to theatre at 2:30pm and woke up at 3:50pm when I woke I had oxygen mask on as my obs dropped during surgery. They took me back to my room at 4:10pm. I felt amazing. In came my surgeon to see how I was and to tell me everything went to plan. Anethasist came in to see if I was ok and to say goodbye and the nurse did my obs every 15mins, which had all come back in to range, I had a drink of water, then a cup of coffee and then my sandwich… which was amazing. Exactly 2hrs and 5 mins after surgery I was discharged and on my way home. The nurse was amazed at how well I came round… I’ve always been a good paitent.
I feel great, have a slight ache but nothing major. Iam so happy I cried when I saw them for the first time.
For everyone that is scared or worried about this procedure, honestly you have no need. All you need to do is trust your surgeon and their team.
Just thought I would add I’m not a MYA patient but being in here and hearing people’s stories helped put my mind at ease when I was having a melt down so just hope my story will help in a little way.
Thank you for reading and good luck to you ladies that have yet to have your surgery
