1 day post op 425cc under hp Started by: Bethanii

Just while I’m laid up I thought I’d share my experience with you all. I’m 5ft 2 and weighed 63kg. I went to the leeds clinic and was appointed Dr Monuir as my surgeon and the first trust hospital Preston. 3x children which I breast fed and left me feeling an empty 32b. None of my bras for me properly and where the top of my boob was meant tk be was ribs. So I bit the bullet and went for the argumentation. I was advised between 375cc and 425cc so off I went for the 425cc. Not sure what side I am now but I’ll keep you updated when I get to know.

The night before I got the usual jitters more so about the general anaesthetic, the surgery I wasn’t bothered about and I had prepared myself for the worst pain ever. Thw usual omg what if i don’t wake up the needles involved all the usual stuff.
So I arrived at the hospital at 10am shown to my room within 5 mins, it was very clean professional. I was told that I was next to go down. It went so fast. The nurse who booked me in Paul. He was just the best told me everything what to expect that it was about to be very fast moving from this point on.

Then a nurse called Hannah come in gave me my glorious knee length socks which have to stay on for 5 days. And did a quick preg test withmy urine. Told me 3hrs after the GA if all was good I’d be on my way home. Mr Monuir arrived and marked me up and got me to sign the consent form. Followed by the anethatist who instantly put me at ease with the GA. Then that was that off i went. Cannula in and some pain relief in the tube then, asked if i wanted to do this still which i replied yes, off to sleep I go at 10.45am. By 12.00 I’m back in my room with my hubby and and extra 2 massive things stuck to my chest. Ive done it no more empty boobs. So I’m in and out of sleep but urged to sip water while I can and I’m on half hourly obvs. Then they fetch me food. Tuna mayo sarnie which i chose earlier. Atthis point i have zero pain. Just discomfort e dry now n then. The pressure
Is much less than I thought, and the pain is none existant. Then the nurse paul comes to put on my sports bra. Being quite sporty I assumed a sports bra to be a sports bra over the head type thing. I urge everyone to get a zip up front sorts bra for after. I’m lucky I’m able to lift my arms, but I’m told not many can. So deffo this on your list of things. So 3pm comes and I get my party bag who h contains paracetamol ibuprofen codeine and antibiotics. I was advised to pop a few ibroprofen for the journey home.

I’ve still been sleepy and slow. But feeling fine. And again no pain just as tho someone is sat on my chest. Minimal discomfort more when I move really. So a few days of bed rest and Netflix is in order.
