I’m sure we’ll all be happy, I think we’d be pretty illogical to not have some kind of cautious thoughts because it is surgery and it is general anaesthetic – both come with inherent risks, but then so does me walking home from the gym at night or getting takeaway from the new place! We’ll be fine.
I believe there is at least one person in that operating theatre solely to make sure our vital signs are fine. The worst that will happen is we wake up with no boobs! Or maybe they had to pump up the oxygen a bit because we’re getting a cold we didn’t know about. A very happy medium to what drama TV shows would have us all believe.
Most people seem to describe it as quick, some have even said they didn’t know the op had happened and they thought they were still going into surgery.
Did you know fear and excitement are pretty much the same sensation? Its just how we interpret that sensation in our minds that can make all the difference. For me, when nerves set in I go through what I learned as a nurse and then think about MYAs track record, how often it is done and most importantly my surgeon – all good and logical statistics. It invokes a sense of trust. I then think about my new boobs and the second wardrobe I’ll need to buy because I’ll have more underwear and bikini’s than actual clothes! And thaat makes me happy.
Nerves are logical and sensible, but don’t let them bog you down xx
