day of op what to expect?? Started by: CRx

I don’t think you will have iron levels tested I didn’t have any bloods taken.
Take plenty of things to occupy you I had a four hour wait from my admission time and all I had was my phone( with my phone charger at the hotel which was really stupid!)
You get seen by the nurse, then the ward doctor, then the anaesthetist and then the surgeon. Once the surgeon has seen and drawn on you it will be nearly time to go down and then before you know it you will have your new boobs! Hope this helps xx

Well I had mine at Preston and never had bloods taken they just did my obs to check blood pressure. That’s handy that you live close I would’ve done anything to be in my own bed the first night I didn’t sleep at all! Xx

I never had my bloodys taken. Take some slippers I forgot mine and had to walk to the theatre in the ugg boots ha didn’t look good with the stockings x

@CRx yes I’m glad you asks bloods question I don’t like needles too aww the thought tensing already

They put a canular in the back of your hand but if you distract yourself by talking to the nurse that’s with you , you will be fine xx good luck ladies

Girls afraid of the needle ask for a cream called ‘Emla’
It’s a numbing cream – ask in advance and nurse can put it on both hands.
Worked a treat for me

Hi I had my bloods taken at pre op but this is because I was anemic during pregnancy and needed a blood transfusion after giving birth . I find it so strange how all the different clinics / hospitals operate Considering the same company . I’m sure will be ok if ur worried maybe give them a call as they get there bloods back really quick xx
