I had my op today and thought I’d share my experience for anyone that is feeling nervous or anxious!
My admission time was 8am and I went to theatre at 9.10. Everyone was so lovely and really put me at ease. My surgeon was Dr Mounir and he is just so calming, when he left my nerves had gone and I was just really excited!
I walked to theatre and the anaesthetists were great, the worst bit was the cannula going into my hand, they say you’ll feel a small scratch….rubbish! ???? Anyway they kept me talking to take my mind of it. The next thing I hear is them saying it’s all over.
I had 375 overs and the pain (so far) is really bearable. The side effects from the anaesthetic aren’t great but soon wear off. After lots of obvs, tea and toast I was able to go home at 2pm.
I’ve had such a great experience and for anyone feeling nervous I hope this helps put your mind at ease!!
I will post some pics shortly. X
