2 days after BA with Mr Singh – Fri 26 June Started by: fiona

Hi ladies
I had my BA at Highgate with Mr Singh on Friday 26 June. My admission time was 1 pm and after reading other girls’ experiences of how long they were waiting before going to theatre, I expected to be back in my room by 3pm ish…….how wrong was I!!!! I was shown to my room at 1pm, my nurse came to see me about half an hour later and asked me some questions, took by blood pressure, weighed me, measured my height and also some leg measurements for the sexy socks you have to wear!!! Another half hour passed and the anaesthetist came to see me, he was a really friendly guy, he asked me a few questions and then left the room. Two hours passed and I was actually thinking that they had forgotten about me as no-one came in to my room to update me on what was happening which was the only negative bit of my experience with the hospital…finally at around 4.10 pm Mr Singh came in to see me to discuss the BA. He said that he would decide during the operation whether the implant would be over or under, which I agreed to and he asked me to sign the consent form….by this time my nerves had settled as I was fed up of waiting and bloody hungry as I hadn’t eaten since 6.30am!!!!!!!!! Anyway Mr Singh explained that I was next on the list and that I would be going down to theatre within 30-40mins after he had carried out another procedure.
Finally at 4.45pm a nurse came for me, we walked to the room where I would be anaesthetised. I layed down on the bed and prepared for the moment I’d been waiting for!!! The anaesthetist was chatting to me, asking about my job and where I was from, they struggled to get the canula in the back of my hand so they had to put it in the crease of my arm and within seconds I was out for the count!
The next thing I remember is the nurse talking to me and I started coming around, it took only a little while for me to properly come round, then I was wheeled back to my room with my new boobs (strapped up with sticky bandage) at around 6.30 pm!!!!! Within half an hour I was having toast and what seemed like the best cup of tea in the world I actually felt ok, quite sore and stiff but I expected that. An hour or so later I had my 3 course meal which was very nice!! I very slowly got up and went to the loo and tried to walk around a bit as the anaesthetist said I should try to have a bit of a walk around. I spent the rest of the evening watching tv and looking at my new boobs, having my suspicions that they were under the muscle as I was having a little bit more pain than I expected and slight movements we take for granted were far more difficult to do! During the evening the nurse kept coming in the room to check on me and to take my blood pressure and temperature. I didn’t take any painkillers that evening and actually got some sleep although I kept waking up during the night.
The nurse came through to me at 6.30 am to take blood pressure etc again and she helped me put my sports bra on my swollen boobs – it was quite painful trying to lean forward and hold that position while she did my bra up so the nurse brought me some painkillers. I had breakfast at 7.30 am and slowly got myself ready for discharge at around 9 am. Mr Singh was not around to see me so the anesthetist came to have a chat with me and advised me about taking my medication, then a nurse came to see me who I asked about my BA, as I wanted to know whether I had unders or overs and she confirmed that I had partial unders. I went to the pharmacy to collect my medication and left for home at 9.20 am. My partner drove me home…..going round roundabouts was quite painful but the rest of the journey was ok! On my way home my nurse from MYA rang to see how I was doing and to say I should get lots of rest.
I spent yesterday relaxing and walking around the house, I took some painkillers last night although I wasn’t in a lot of pain I didn’t want to wake up in the night so thought it was best to take some in case. I slept better than expected and I feel ok today, obviously taking it easy. The sticky bandage is rather tight but that should ease as the swelling goes down. Every now and then I feel and hear a squelching in my boobs which feels wierd but is normal! Just look forward to getting the bandage off a week tomorrow and being able to see what my boobs actually look like, although I know it will be a long time before I see the final result!
I was a 32a/b and had 380cc implants – I’m hoping to be a small-average d!
Overall I have had an excellent experience with MYA so far and will keep you all updated on my progress.
Hope this helps girls and if you have any questions about my experience then please ask.
