Anyone having surgery on 26th Jan? Started by: Caroline

I’m in on the 26th too ? I don’t have a clue what to take, obviously your sports bras, I’m going to take some sweets and magazines to keep me busy. I’ve never been put to sleep either so I’m abit nervous x

I didn’t have my surgery with Mya but you generally need to take the same things so hopefully this helps!

> PJ’s (most importantly a top that buttons up down the front) as it will be hard to put anything else on
> Dressing gown & slippers (to walk down to theatre)
> Books/ipad/kindle etc – just to keep you occupied whilst you’re waiting
> Toiletries if you’re staying overnight
> Non metal hair band to tie up your hair if it’s long

Really don’t worry about being put to sleep. It’s literally a tiny little needle in your hand that feels like a scratch and then they tell you as they administer the anaesthetic. It’s like a couple of seconds of falling asleep and the you’ll wake up in recovery!

I haven’t been given an admission time yet, I’m having dr Traynor also ? I’m meeting him on Thursday to decide on size etc – I don’t have a clue! I know the being put to sleep bit will be fine it’s just the thought of it x

I’m currently a 32B and wanting DD but i want them to look natural and not stuck on but I’m not sure if he can do that so ill see what he suggests! Under and over the muscle is determined by what look you want to achieve and the amount of breast tissue you already have I think. I’m so excited but nervous at the same time. My partner is at work the day of my op so my friend is going to be bringing me, do you know if they can come in your room whilst you wait/are in surgery? Xx

Thanks Caroline! Yeah overs are definitely good if you have a bit of tissue already so you might be recommended those! Easier recovery with overs which is nice. I’m sure your surgeon will advise you of the best way to go. Take a photo of the kind of look you like to the consultation. I must have given my surgeon about 15- 20 photos of what I did and didn’t like – he probably thought I was a mad woman!! haha! xxx

I’m not sure what I will be better with, overs or unders. I think unders are better for what I want as I would like to breastfeed any other children that I will have.

The taking pictures is a great idea, there’s lots of ladies on here that have got really nice results with both overs and unders! Georgie yours are lovely! I just don’t want to get boob greed and want them bigger and bigger haha xx

Thanks Codie! 🙂 As far as I am aware you don’t need to worry about not being able to breastfeed with overs. I have two children but said to my surgeon that if I ever do have any more it was very important that I would be able to breastfeed again and he said that there wouldn’t be a problem at all. I think the only time that there is really an issue with bf’ing after a BA is when there is interference with the nipple (eg the incision is there) Two surgeons have actually told me this but obviously just check with yours too – I’m not sure if there are any varying techniques that may change things so wouldn’t want to misinform you!

Hi girls , I’m having my op on 26th with mr traynor too! I was suppose to be having it done on the13th Jan but I went to Preston waited all day and the anethetist wouldn’t put me to sleep due to my medical history ! A lot of messing around buy finally booked back in , they do a pregnancy test on the day my admission time was 12 and I saw a nurse a doctor and then the anethetist didn’t get chance to see mr traynor but I only saw the anethetist at half 3 so was waiting in my room all that time , your not aloud to take food in by the way , they give you tea and toast after your op , it’s £5 for wifi of you wanna use that , take pillows the pillow I had was flat as a pancake and take warm clothes I was freezing in the room , now I’ve had a practice run I know how to prepare for this one haha good luck xxxx
