My new boobies have been born!! My experience! Started by: Laura (@laurawight)

So I thought I’d write down all that happened today as it helped me reading other people’s!

The hospital I was at was first trust in Preston, and my surgeon was Mr traynor! I had 450cc high profile implants- they were meant to be overs but Mr traynor made the last minute decision to do partials due to lack of tissue at the top. My admission time was 12 and I arrived at around half 11. I was taken straight to my room by a nurse and asked to change into my gown and paper knickers. Just as I finished getting changed me traynor came in and drawn on me. This was when he decided to do partials and I then went on to ask about this and he explained everything really well along with the occasional joke (he’s very sarcastic but very funny!!)
About half an hour later the anaesthetist came in and asked questions and filled in a form. I asked him if I could speak to Mr traynor again about the whole partials thing and about an hour later Mr traynor came back in and spoke to me, and then all of a sudden he said “right were ready for you now! The nurse will be along in a minute ” and this was when I got very nervous. The nurse came in and took my blood pressure etc, gave me my socks to wear, put a wrist band on and then filled in another form. I then was walked to the anaesthetist room where I laid on the bed and my piercings (all plastic) were covered with tape. The anaesthetist put the canular in my hand (he said my vein was very thin and struggled a bit but he got it in in one go haha) he then put in liquid paracetamol and something to calm me down as I was very nervous. He called this “a bottle of wine” and I felt a bit dizzy after this! They then wheeled me into theatre and then said he was going to put me to sleep and the whole time they continued to talk to me and tell me everything would be fine. And then the next thing I knew I was waking up! I was very panicky when I woke up and cried (no idea why!! Was just because of the anaesthetic), and I was shaking so the nurse put a cover over me and I soon calmed down and stopped shivering. After that I came around properly and had to laugh it off a bit as I didn’t know why Id even cried!
They wheeled me back to my room and then I had to shuffle across to my bed and they covered me back up to keep me warm. I had a drip in my canular to keep me hydrated and I just felt very tired and in a bit of pain. I asked for some medication and they brought them quite quickly. After they started to work I felt pretty normal! They kept coming in and out to take my blood pressure, and Mr traynor came in to see me and told me everything was fin e and gave me a pat on the head as if got upset haha! ( I think he done this when i first woke up as well but can’t remember properly). After a while a nurse came in and helped me put on my sports bra and I had a little walk around. I then had a cup of tea and some biscuits and then I feel pretty much back to normal apart from the odd ache and discomfort when i move too much. A few hours later I was told to get dressed and if I was okay I was allowed to go. I was given my implant information and some medication, and my canular was taken out and now I’m in a hotel!

I feel fine now and plan to just stay on top of my medication! Hungry and tired but that’s about it really. It’s nothing to worry about and I wish I hadn’t got so worked up about it!

All the staff were absolutely lovely and kept me calm all the way through! The hospital was really nice and clean too.ive had a great experience and would defintely recommend the hospital and Mr traynor to anyone. So far I love my new boobs and I’ll put some pictures on when they’re feeling a little less sore!

Thanks for everyone’s help on here!xxx
