GA Experiences Started by: Lisa

I almost cancelled my op i was that terrified of the GA. I was literally almost having panic attacks thinking about it, i posted on here and all the girls were so reassuring, especially seeing everyone who also.posted with worries come back replying about how it really wasnt bad, i felt more and more calm about it the closer i got, and on op day the anaethetists were absolutely lovely. Kept me talking when it was time to go in to take my mind off it, he gave me a sedative before the GA and said once this is in your system, you wont care what we do to you haha and he was so right! I just felt drunk, and he asked what kind of drink i usually have and i only managed to say vodka and lem….. i was out! You really dont have much time to think about it haha it was literally 100000% easier than i ever imagined, i spent so much time worrying about it for absolutely no reason. I promise you will be absolutely fine, and i found waking up hilarious everything was amazing and funny, my mam had a right good laugh at me haha x

Lisa, I was worried about GA in case something went wrong – I’m a mum of 2. But I knew the risks were extremely low and I was fit and healthy so tried to rationalise it! Plus I was determined to have my boobs done. On the day the anesthetist was great, he really reassured me that I was in safe hands and was a text book case. All I remember about the GA is the anesthetist saying he was going to give me a cocktail and asking if I like cocktails – to which I replied yes! Then I woke up with new boobs! It really was nothing to worry about – you’ll be nervous I’m sure but contain those nerves and think about the end result – you will be fine. Xx

The anaesthetist was so kind. I wasn’t particularly worried about the GA. Like said above you’ll feel a cold tingle up your arm and then you wake up with new boobs! I didn’t even have time to think about it to be honest. They’re all so lovely and professional. I was sick afterwards in the car on the way home lol but this doesn’t happen to everyone. I’m quite a sick person (travel sick, sick bug sick, hangover sick lol, pregnancy sick) so I was probably just unlucky. Focus on the reason for the GA not the GA itself. You’ll be fine hun. It’s natural to feel anxious but please don’t worry xx
