BA TOMORROW with mr T! Started by: Emma

Aw good luck!! I was terrified but before you know it youre awake with boobs! Nothing to be worried about:) hope everything goes well!xx

Make sure you follow the no food, liquids rule before but take something for after. I was munching on grapes, flakes and pink lucozade after, as well as all the food they gave me ha ha, no wonder I looked pregnant for days 🙂 If you are sick, don’t worry, the nurse will give you something for it. They are really understanding xxx

I was scared about waking up on my own too! Yeah youre just back in the same bed and room:) you dont even realise its been done! I was soo scared about being put to sleep but as soon you have the injection and get scared youre asleep:) it litterally feels like youve had a 2 minute nap! I was fine then when i went to stand up i was sick but that was just because i was dehydrated, they put me on a drip and gave me anti sickness fluid through the canular thing in my hand:) i hate being sick too but it was only as i went to stand up, i think i did it too quickly:) just ask the nurses to help you, and they’ll give you the anti sickness medicine before you get up! theyre lovely:) xx

Good luck 🙂 xx

I woke up in the recovery room with a lovely mummy like nurse (I was on my own til my friend finished work) who once I was awake got me wheeled back. I woke up with drains which I am glad of as have had little swelling during recovery so they worked fab, and I also woke up on a drip already – which because of the amount of fluid they give you made me go to the bathroom about 6 times in an hour. Had to keep buzzing the nurse to help with the drip wheelie thing ha ha. When I got to the hospital there was a little delay and the nurse said if i felt thirsty they would be able to put me on a drip so I didn’t get dehydrated but I went for surgery shortly after. I think they give you pain relief in your drip for waking and before I was discharged I was given my packets of antibiotics and painkillers but I never took the pain killers, just the odd ibrofen x

No worries, I was the same. with the questions 🙂 I was still groggy from the op so don’t remember any pain with the jab, just remember it happening as I found it funny, like I was being jabbed in the ass for complaining ha ha – silly sleepy drugged up brain 🙂 You would know quickly if you were allergic to something as would make you feel poorly, some people get a rash with antibiotics. My particular allergy is not a common one and I’ve known since I was a kid, so try not to worry about that too. They give you your first dose during surgery and then you continue with them the next day normally. You will be fine, you are under constant supervision by some amazing staff who won’t let you go til they are sure you are okay xxx

Good luck for tomorrow Emma….It will all be over before u know it + u will have yr new boobies. I think u can ask for anti-sickness drugs before u go down or they can give u an injection while u r asleep (my mum had this with a previous op she had). I really don’t want to wake up feeling sick either x x

I am gonna ask when I have mine done, I certainly don’t want to wake up feeling sick, especially when yr chest is gonna feel heavy + strapped up. Is it okay to add u, so I can ask how u get on tomorrow? X x
