Hi ladies
So I have just had a BA and tummy tuck (with no muscle repair) all at the same time! My admission time was 2pm at highgate but I got here about 30 mins early but they were really nice, have me a few papers to fill out then showed me to my room. As im having a two night stay they also asked me what newspaper i wanted delivered so i went for the mirror! At this point my other half realised his phone was flat and he needed to use it as a sat nav to get home so we asked if there was a spare one somewhere and one of the nurses kindly brought one along for him to use :).
At 2.15 mr Singh came to my room to go trough the consent form and the procedure and take some photos and mark me up! It was good for him to also speak to my boyfriend as I think my poor boyfriend was more nervous than me!
Mr Singh said I could expect to go down at 3 and that I was meant to e going down then but he got started slightly late.
About 2.30 the anaesthetist came along and went through the process with me and was really nice, explained about anaesthetic and what happens when you’re in theatre which was good to know.
About 15 mins after that the nurse came and did blood pressure an measure me for stockings and give me some sexy paper underwear ha!
After that it was a waiting game….In the end I went down at 4.15pm and woke up in recovery at 7.30ish, the rest of the evening is a blurr of drifting in and out of sleep and feeling very stiff. Boobs are strapped up but first thing I did was have a nose down my gown and I am pleased with what I see so far! Chest feels right and like someone’s put a dead weight on me but I think that’s a combination of the strapping and implants. The boobs aren’t really hurting though – mor of an ache.
My stomach is painful, I have two drains in and last night goig to toilet was agony – just because of how tight the stomach is so standing up and getting on/off the bed is tricky. Nevertheless the nurses have been brilliant and getting up this morning to go was slightly easier.
So I have one more night in and should be discharged tomorrow afternoon! Will keep you all posted! Xx
