hey hun im 2days post opp.. i was rliiii nervous, soon as they showed me my nice big room with a tv i felt alot better….
then 4 people came in.. the anaestist, a surgeon, the main doctor surgeon and a nurse… to ask me a few q’s, my admission time was half 9, and i had had my op at 10….. i was shaking like leaf… because i had to walk into theatre and lay on the bed, they put an oxygen mask on me, and were tapping for ages to try and find a vein, i was on the verge of crying because i was so nervous, when they finally managed to find a vein and get the anasthetic i asked how long it would take before i fell asleep and he said half an hour, then i said to one of the surgeons… jeez when does this stuff kick in its taking ages…
she said they were done
, and they wheeled me back to my room…
they take of u so well after, nice food, and tv, and plenty of care, u wont even remember falling asleep xx
OMG Leanne I hope they don’t change mine too although I haven’t heard anything. I really hope they don’t as I’ve booked my hotels and time off work that can’t be changed! Bet your gutted they have moved you – only 2 extra days tho. Will let you know how mine goes which will hopefully help a bit xxx
Leanne – you’ll be absolutely fine. I just focused on the fact that I was going to wake up with boobs and it gets you through. Good luck girlies – so so worth it! x

Ah dollybird…thanks for your comments…..i feel alot better for them…..i think i will be okay till i have to walk in and see the room then i just feel like am going to pace up and down and need to run to the toilet etc etc hahaha – people keep telling me the GA is really nice feeling – its just a case of pinning me down and the wait before hand…..i’ll try keep all your positive things in mind….hope you’re healing well xxx
I’m 8 days post op. I started stressing out 3 days before. Was completely calm on the day. Got the train down to London and went to Highgate on my own. Was admitted at 1pm and saw the anaesthetist and nurse by 2pm. Mr Adamo came down at 2.30 and drew on me and explained the different lines etc and the told me a nurse would be coming in about 45 minutes. I went down to the theatre at 3.15 and lay on the operating table. Panic set in and I wasn’t crying but my eyes wouldn’t stop watering. The anaesthetist put the cannula in my left arm – literally a sharp scratch – while another nurse was talking to me telling me to check the time on the clock (3.30) and said that I’d get a funny taste in my mouth and then drift off. I vaguely remember talking rubbish but the GA was a really nice feeling. The next thing I knew I was awake and telling the anaesthetist that they had to give me more GA because they hadn’t given me enough and I was going to be awake throughout the operation and feel everything to be told that the op was done. I kept saying that I’d only just got into theatre and it was only when she showed me the clock and it was 5 that I realised that it was all done. I asked to look at my new boobs and they showed me and I burst into tears because I actually had boobs for the first time in my life!! They top you up with pain relief straight away and you spend a happy few hours staring at the wall in your room and talking rubbish to everyone! It is a bit scary but so worth it and I would do it again tomorrow if I had to because nothing beats the feeling of having lovely boobs! x
Hiya I’m in at 7.30am as I’m a day case so go in on the early list although they can’t tell me for sure until Monday but they did say its pretty much the case as I need to be in for a few hours before they discharge me.xxx
You too leanne! good luck! but i will no doubt be on here next week when i start proper stressint
) xx
hiya leanne roll on 7 day’s i’m the same as you at the min not scared and it don’t feel real but i’m sure we’ll be fine just think of the end result the worst for me will be walking down to theatre i’ve already warned my husband that there maybe tears.??Princess jj you got any idea of your admission time yet i phoned the other day and they did-nt have mine said 2-3 days away i’ll get it hoping i don’t have to be there for 7.30 would prefer a later admission as i live over 3 hours away and were having to bring my 7 year old. Good luck all you april fools day girls xxx
ugh god ah man – even the talk of veins has just sent me funny
(((
hahah good one about the anaesthetic….i just hope they give me something when i get there or i am liable to run out the door 
but thanks for your comments, you’re right, i know i just got think of the end result and forget the bit in the middle xxx
Oh god…just wanted to share this with all you other girlies who are due on 1st April – the wait has just flown over and I’m not even bricking it yet…..it fact it still doesn’t seem real?!!!
Worried this means when I get there that I’ll be hysterical cos I have been so calm up to now
(
How you all feeling and do any of you who have been through it have any tips fro staying calm….my bigges problems going to be from the car to being taken down for the op cos I have never been in hospital ever and hate anything medical

I know i’m hoping that I will go down really early with such an early admission or I think I will start stressing, I hate blood and hospitals I have even been known to pass out mid conversation re blood and stuff!!
What am I doing???????????????????????
oh cheryl….good luck!!!…..let us know how it goes….am just hoping they knock me out 2 secs after i walk in the door hahaha – shame we can’t have half a litre of vodka pre op !!
