My story & pics Started by: Nikki

So yesterday was my boobie day at Fitzroy with Dr marcellino.
I was a 34B, size 10, 8st8lbs, 5ft3 wanting to achieve DD.
I was either having 400,425,450cc but dr marcellino ended up giving me 425cc which I’m happy with and already love.
My admission time was 9:30 as soon as I got to the ward I changed into my lovey granny gown and nickers and popped my under the knee socks on. I was given my name band and my allergy band (penicillin) and was left to watching this morning 🙂
The anesatist came round, he is so lovely and actually he took my bloods for my pre op as I have super deep crap veins (took 5 attempts to get the blood). He asked me some questions and told me what he would be doing when it was my turn to go down. At 12:15 they came and got me, I put my netted hat on and kissed my fiancé goodbye (got a bit choked up leaving him). I was sat in a room just next to the operating room for 10 mins and then eventually was taken in. I was talking to one of the nurses about my kids and wedding (this November). The anesatist put the butterfly in my hand which was just a small scratch and didn’t bother me. The nurse then put a mask over my face which made me feel like I couldn’t breathe so I said oh no I don’t like that at all. She smiled and said think of the Maldives (my honeymoon destination). I could fee the cold fluid going up my arm and before I knew it I was looking at the clock and it said 1:50. It was then I realised it was all done, so fast! I kept falling back to sleep but wanted to be awake so was forcing myself to stay awake.
My teeth were chuttering so much it was hurting my boobs but I just could not stop shivering and I wasn’t even cold. It was just a side affect from the anaesthetic. I put my tongue between my teeth which stopped it eventually the more I came round aswell. I also noticed I was tensed up so once I relaxed and dropped my shoulders down I wasn’t actually in any pain. My fiancé came in at that point so I again kept trying to stay awake for his sake. I hadn’t really looked at my boobs so I had a quick snoop and already love them 🙂
I hve strapping on apart from over my nipples which are super numb. I have to say the strapping isn’t as bad as I thought, I’m actually comfortable and feel the strapping is definitely a good support as well as my sports bra.
Anyway, had my drains taken out just before I left and even though I felt it, it didn’t hurt. Some people have said it feels like a worm being pulled out but I honestly didn’t feel like that so everyone’s different. Dr marcellino popped in to see me and said they’re a lovely size for me and he ripped my strapping down my cleavage to check swelling and he said perfect and off he went.
He is honestly the loveliest man and I felt I trusted him 100%.
Overall tha day was great, Everyone was lovely and helpful.
I was sharing a room with someone id already been speaking to on here so that was nice to.
I left the hospital at 7pm and was home by 8, the car journey was fine but I didn’t rest the seatbelt over them.
I slept upright all night with a big back cushion off my sofa and a neck pillow and other than waking for he toilet once, I was fine. I had a sore back waking up but the pain killers stopped that. Missing having cuddles with my babies but I’m sure it won’t be long until I get back to normal. I managed to make my daughters breakfast and put the baby’s bottles on so so far so good.
So that’s it for me, all done and dusted, now time to recover ☺️

One bit of advice though, don’t think just because someone else had a bad time or experienced pain with certain things, that you will. I was petrified for the drains but it was nothing to worry about. Take every step as it comes and enjoy your day☺️
