Many of you will have seen my posts about my constant breathlessness. As they can’t find anything wrong with me they are saying its anxiety which I know I have.
My problem is my anxiety is so high the worry of the operation is crazy. I’m seeing worst case scenario for everything. I’m most scared of the general anesthetic even though I’ve had them before.
Has anyone hi now of or had problems. Are they really kitted out to deal with all eventualities and dramas.
Yes I want it done and trying to think a few moments fear for lifetime of happiness…..lol but problem is it’s not just a few moments.
I need to get hold of this so I can go through with it!
So all positive statements tips and advice, information on how safe ga are etc, gratefully received ….ppplllleeeaassse!
Maybe get some natural calming tabets from holland and barret or something.
I would say wine…. but you’re not allowed if you are any time soon!.. Literally the only way I can think of it how happy you will be after…. I know I will be nervous too so I know how you feel!… Just think… 45 minute nap and its all done 🙂 xxx
Suppose to say has anyone heard or or know of….bloody predictive text
I can’t help much but all I can say is you have nothing to worry about. All the staff are so friendly and look after you so well. My experience at the hospital was a breeze xx
I’m so sorry you feel like this, you must feel terrible 🙁 I have never heard of anything going wrong. I never had a GA before my uplift and BA and was very worried. However after speaking to the anesthetist he really reassured me. I even asked what would happen if I had a reaction to the drugs while I was asleep but he told me they have every drug there incase anything happens so that made me much calmer. I hope that helps a little x
It’s best if you stAy away from horror stories there’s always good and bad in everything not just cosmetic surgery it could be normal non surgery aswell example a C section is a much greater and major surgery then a simple breast augmentation it’s not even ranked as a major surgery hun but cosmetic surgery isn’t guaranteed to give you the exact perfect result it can make the appearance look better that’s all and there will be risks but with everything there are risks but it’s very low and as long as you look after them and yourself you’ll have no complications torchwood. If it’s the actual surgery day part it’s lovely in the hospital and they will make you feel comftable you. Can ask to be put to sleep like a child lol because I’m afraid needles they gased me out and next thing I woke up and had even bigger boobs lol haha xx
Yeah it’s the surgery and the ga that I am most worried about, the result and recovery I can accept won’t necessarily be perfect but better than I have now!
I keep thinking what if I go into respiratory distress or don’t wake up etc.
Nicole darling you will be fine you will wake up as soon as your surgery is done the anesthesiologist will ease off the drip and you will come around and the nurse wount leave your side untill you wake up. Once you wake up they will gI’ve you anti sickness injection if you feel sick and then make sure you eat etc you will be fine
Sorry I’m probably driving everyone mad with my neurosis! Unfortunately that’s what anxiety does to you it feeds on itself and blows things out of proportion so trying to look for positive statements and thought! I have low blood pressure as well and I know ga can lower that too but I suppose they know that so hopefully they deal with that!
Thanks Candybabey! Have
Hi I work at a small hospital clinic where we anaesthetise patients day in day out. I have worked there for nearly five years now and have never witnessed or heard of any complications so incidents that u worry of are VERY rare x at the end of the day the way I look at it is u could get hit by a bus or something tomorrow, life’s unpredictable and so short – so just do it and try not to worry xxx
Thanks Susan that’s reassuring…although I’ll be looking out for them buses now! Lol
Hi @nicole sorry to hear you are suffering with anxiety, just wanted to let you know as we are all nervous and worried before there op as I was but having gone through the experience myself recently it was actually a lovely experience 🙂
the day went great as I hear all the girls agree and say the same 🙂
I have never had to have an operation before or an anestetic therefore it was all new to me and didn’t know what to expect!
I had my BA at Preston first choice, the hospital was better than I imagined, the staff were all so friendly and nice, I went out like a light and it felt like only 2 seconds had past and they were waking me up with new boobies 😀
I was in a fab room, like it was my own little ensuite with TV etc the nurses constantly check on you and your blood pressure etc and once you seem ok to get up and go the loo they allow you to leave a few hours after your op xxx
You are definitely in safe hands xxx
You can ask me any questions you like about my experience and progress xxx
Thanks Michelle, I’ve been awake half the night worrying I’m doing the wrong thing. Think anxiety has really taken over and I’ve come down with a sore throat and the start of a cough so worrying about that as well.
Arrr Nicole really feel for you, is there something your doctor could prescribe for your anxiety just to take the edge off maybe? x You know it must be something going round, my kids have got nasty chest infections at the minute hoping i dont catch it too – op is next week! Take care xx
He put me on fluoxetine about 11 days ago because they couldn’t find any other reason for my breathlessness and shortness of breath. I have had diazepam but trying not to take them as highly addictive and don’t want to go down that route. My son is on antibiotics for a chest infection and my daughter keeps coughing too. I know they won’t operate with chest infection do you know if they will if it’s just a cough and sore throat?
The trouble is I’m really torn as I really want it done but that little devil on the shoulder is playing havoc with my mind!
Hiya nicole, i too was really worried that i wouldnt come around from the op, monday wen i was preparing my 3 children to go stay with a family member all i could think was i was saying goodbye to them for good and how would they ever cope without me 🙁 but then i kept trying to reassure myself that if a girl had died through cosmetic procedures it would most defo b on the news and i have never seen or heard of it! I come up to london early hours of tues morn for my boob job as i desperately needed it to live a normal happy life and was seen to and operated on quickly so didnt have much time to worry, though i was panicky wen i went in to be put to sleep, the staff are really nice and understand that you will be nervous and worried but i am here, nothing went wrong, i have my boobies 🙂 we all deal with things differently and some worry and panic more than others, please try not to dwell on the negatives that may happen but are extremely unlikely as you will make yourself ill hun, you will be ok, good luck sweetie 🙂 xxx
