525cc High profile overs
I left my children and hubby at home and caught the train from Chesterfield to London St Pancras. Where my mum and step dad were waiting for me (((they have a motorhome and had been on holiday close by))). We got straight on the tube to Highgate and walked about half a mile to the hospital which is fantastic it is more like a hotel and the staff are very freindly and nice. I gave my name in at reception and filled in a form and was then shown to my room 212 which was right outside the nurses station.
My nurse came in straight away and checked my details and did my height, weight B.P etc and gave me my stockings paper pants and gown.
Then about 10mins later the anesthetist came in and did her checks and told me what would happen when i was being put to sleep. She was closly followed by Mr Adamo:thumbup: he just went through everything that we had previously discussed and checked implant size etc and then drew his lines on me and took pics and said to get changed as he thought i would be next
He wasnt wrong within 15mins my nurse who i think was called Irminia (((she was the kindest bestest nurse ever))) came in to take me down to theatre. So i said i teary goodbye to my mum and off i went.
In theatre Irminia said good luck and left me in the hands of a new nurse Dora who started attaching me to the machines etc. Then in walked the anethetist and Mr Adamo who instantly put me at ease!!! As the anethetist and nurses where doin what ever they were doing he was talking to me and the next thing i knew i was asleep and waking up in recovery!!!!
I was petrified off going under G.A as i have never been under before but it really was nothing to be scared off. I was just sleepy when i woke up and couldnt focus very well for about 15mins.
I was soon wheeled back to my room where i was begging for a cup of tea and food and after about 30mins i was allowed tea and toast which i wolfed down but then i started to feel sick. But i wasnt so an hour later they brought me my tea. Which was grilled plaice and mash and tasted amazing but unfortunatly after 5 mouthfulls i was sick 🙁
so i had the anti sickness injection and was left to rest for a bit.
At around 10pm i was allowed something else to eat so i opted for a cheese sarni which i ate and then i went to sleep. I drifted in and out of sleep all night and finally woke at 6.30am. My new nurse ((Irminia had gone home ))) brought me some tea and biscuits and about an hour later i was brought my full english brekkie
Mr Adamo came to see me at about 8.30. He had a look and a feel of my boobies said he was happy and he would see me again in 5-6 weeks
I was discharged at 10.30 with my painkillers and my anti biotics and off home i went in the comfort of my mums lovely motorhome.
I slept that night proped up on the settee as i was much more comfortable that way!!!
Im not feeling too bad today apart from slightly tired and my chest feels really tight and tender. Im due to see the nurse on weds to have the dressings off etc .
Overall im very happy with MYA and would like to thank them especially Mr Adamo my pc Charlotte and my nurse at Highgate Irminia who have all been fantastic :cheer:
Great story, thank you for sharing it with us…i’m due to go in on 7th October, also with M Adamo, cant wait now
Hope your feeling ok and not in much pain, are you really happy with the results?x x
stories really do help as none of my friends have had a ba so if it werent for places like this i wouldnt know much … thanks for sharing xx
I also learned alot from forums like this one!!!!
Im feeling better everyday and hopefully that will continue. I havent been doing anything really at all though as my hubby is having two weeks off work and has took care of everything.
The first day home i couldnt do much else other than lift my arms to eat and drink but each day im doing a little bit more, like today i managed to brush my teeth and hair with no probs. It is hard just sat watching him do everything but on the other hand i wont do anything that will jepordise my recovery or new boobs :rolling:
So far im happy with the results. But they havent settled as yet and probably wont do for a few weeks!!! I joined another forum called sofeminine which was a big help and alot of the ladies on there add pics that you can request to look at. So i had seen loads of B.A’s pre and post op si i sort of knew what to expect.
oh i gunna go join so fem now .. i found boob job support forum an im finding that interesting too
glad to hear ur recovery is going well … rest up an take it easy xx
Hi Mads,
Thank you so much for your lovely story!!! I am so happy for you!!! Are you really happy with the size of your new boobs??? I am having my BA in 3 days, on Wed 16th. I am excited, but earlier I was pretty upset, just because of it all. I’m so scared about the GA, and I’m scared that I will not be happy with them afterwards, what if my body rejects them? I just feel really scared.
I wish you happy healing!!! Please keep us updated to how you’re getting on with daily life??
Thank you again
Take care
Wendy

At the moment there still sitting quite high and havent dropped into place/shape so im trying to ignore how they look at the mo ((although they still look good :bigsmile:))
I wanted to be a DD/E post op and hopefully they will be.
When i first booked my B.A all i could do was laugh and joke about and didnt really take it that seriously. But a few days before the op the nerves kicked in and i got really scared!!!!
I kept thinking things like “what if i look stupid” “what if i reject them” what if something goes wrong or my body reacts to the ga” even though deep down i knew i was being silly and my hubby and mum were constantly trying to reasure me.
When i got to Highgate i put a brave face on but my nurse and surgeon saw straight through it and they really did put me at ease then and i was no longer scared:bigsmile:
Im sure you will be fine!!!
GOOD LUCK :thumbup: and let us know how you get on xx
hi mads24,
I am soo pleased you had a great experience and you are happy with your new boobs, im the same i am excited but not really thought about things too much, i have 11 days to go, im booked in for 28th sept in manchester with dr traynor and dont seem to be worrying or thinking about anything apart from the obvious are the twins gonna look good lol. I will probably start worrying a few days before but it is good t know the surgeons pick up on if you are feeling nervous and put your mind at ease!!
Keep us informed on how your boobs settle. x
Im one week and one day post op today!!!!!!!!
I went to leeds yesterday to have my dressings changed and my nurse and hubby couldnt believe how well healed i am so far and how neat my scars are:bigsmile:
The nurse says Mr Adamo has done a fab job and if i carry on looking after them my scar should be virtually impossible to see as it is so neat and right in the crease yayyyyy.
yeah congratulations !!!!
Mr Adamo did my op 4 weeks ago yesterday, and you can hardly see my scars They are so neat, and right in the crease.
He is fab !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx
Wow mads, and Jacqui, so please your scars are great!!! I just keep worry that my stitches will tear, did you think like this too??? I am so impatient too, I just want to do normal things, I can’t even dress my self without help, or get out of bed! I know I only had it done yesterday, but I’m sure some ladies said they were back to normal one or two days after they had their op!
Happy healing girls!!

Wendy, your scars will be fine, as long as you don’t over do it !
I did absolutely nothing for 6 days, then really took it easy, and you can hardly see mine now
Try not to stretch to arms, as it hurts if you do!! Don’t forget that you have to heal on the inside as well as the outside!
xx
Yes i didnt do a thing for the first 6days either apart from eat and drink lol and i was permantly scared i would do something to my scars aswell.
But each day ive felt better and better and been able to do that little bit more although my right side is a lot better than the left side.
The only thing im finding hard is sleeping as i cant yet lay on my side. Does any1 know when i will be able to??? My nurse said not for a few weeks at least 🙁
Hello ladies!!
I am new to this forum!! I have my Breast lift and BA on 23rd Spt at Highgate london.. Very scared and weepy but am sooo unhappy with how my saggy boobs look like now.
Mr Adamo is performing my surgery, my admission time is 5pm!!! Cant understand why so late in the day but maybe thats normal for private hospitals??
Any reasurances would be really appreciated
Emma xxxxxxx
Hi mads24, im 5 weeks post op today, answering your question sleeping on your side, i slept this way at about 10 days post op, my nurse said it was fine, only got few hours this way then found boobs were aching from implants, so im still tossing and turning. The only other thing i found sleeping on my side was i got terrible dead arm in the morning(right side), what with that and boob ache i felt like an oap getting out of bed! Im still getting the odd twinge in my right boob, dunno if its cus im over doing things, but hopefully nurse will put my mind at rest next week when i visit. Hope yor healing well, happy recovery x
Thanks Jacqui and Mads :bigsmile: I will try and take it easy, but I feel like I should be able to do more, rather than just eat, drink and sleep!! I feel so lazy!!
I haven’t managed to lie on my side neither, but I am finding that I wake up with an aching back and neck every morning from lying on my back on the v pillow!
