Arnika?

Hi Girls,

Has anyone been advised to take Arnika tablets or cream before and after op?

my paper work says dont take any herbal, but i no lots do. x

i have been told arnika is a miricle worker!! i also would like to take some im having mine done in 2weeks, let me know what response you get back on arnika, ask your pc.

Think I will ask the nurse when I go in 2 weeks, you get so many mixed views on every subject… It was transform that told me that pre op you should take them… Thanks girls x

Hey Summer. There was a big debate on here not so long ago about Arnika. Apparently it’s really bad to take it as it thins the blood and has lots of side effects attached to it. Nurse went mad at one girl who said she was gonna start taking it but everyone seems to do different things x

Thanks fairydust, just shows you the difference in views x

I was told exactly the same by my pc at Transform… do they discourage it at MYA then? Apparently it’s supposed to help with the trauma your body goes through during the operation etc.

Hmmm I will have to ask at my first consultation next Saturday… SO excited!

xx

You will have loads of questions by next week hun, I didnt wanna leave, ha! x

Haha! Have you just had your initial consultation? Or have you been back and forth a few times?

xx

I was wondering about this too…i’v got my op in 8 days but have my pre op 2morra…i was gonna ask the nurse then about it xx

Had the 1st then seen the surgeon twice. Im booked 10th April hun… So excited!!.. I didnt feel happy with consultation but surgeon one was great and I couldnt wait to book and all Ive thought about is getting it done since. xx

Good luck jo x

Thanks hun…i’m getting scared now lol xx

Aaahhh gosh, SO many people having their operation!!

I wish I was having mine now

I am so impatient, but hopefully I will get to see a pc and surgeon on the Saturday as I am travelling two hours for the consultation!!

How long was it from your first consultation to the point where you were all booked up?

xx

I had my consultation last tuesday and am booked in for my op a week 2morra so its been super fast for me xx

Try to let the excitement over rule the anxiety jo, you will be fine and all worth it… thats what I keep telling myself anyway x

kayteelouu, it comes around so quick. I saw surgeon on the day I had 1st consultation then booked it jusyt over a week later as I had to sort out the finance, after that I booked to see surgeon again as I wanted more answeers but knew I wanted him to do it for me… I am the most impatient person so I know what youre going through hun. I hope your journey is worth it, thats far to go. Let me know how you get on… p.s, I originally was gonna have it done in August but couldnt wait xx

Jeeeeeeez!

I would like to book for May/Beginning of June time if possible.

Excuse me for being a nosey so and so.. but did you pay everything up front.. or are you taking one of their finance options?

You don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want to, money talk can be a bit awkward sometimes!!

xx

No thats fine hun. I got partner to get a loan, we put 400 deposit down then the loan goes straight to them 21 days before op x

P.s. What are the names of your surgeons? Are you going for a more natural or fake look?

Sorry for all the questions! Just curious you see!

xx

I paid in full at my consultation hun! The only reason i was able to do this was because my mum died 18months ago and i was left some money…mum always knew i wanted my boobs doing so i’m sure she will be up there smiling down at me xx

Is it possible.. to put the £400 deposit down, take out the loan but pay more money off when you have the money if that makes sense?

For example… if I love my pc/surgeon on Saturday and I want to book in there and then… put down £400 deposit, can I then pay a nice chunk of money in say May/June time when I have earnt a little more?

xx

My surgeon is Dr Helena Antoniadou, i’m having an uplift with 320 low profile overs xx

Summer, your right, i get bouts of excitement and then bouts of meltdown…i just want them done now xx

I was the same and still always asking the girls questions… its fine. I want natural as poss so Im going with Mr Kazzazi as he does what you ask but theres a few surgeons and all the girls seem to be happy with who they go with. Its an individual thing x.. Where are you travelling to and from?

JO! I am so sorry to hear about your mum!!

I am sure she is up there smiling down at you too honey!!

xx

Thanks hun xx

I am travelling from Ringwood, Hampshire. In the South, so the clinic and the hospital are both pretty much 2 hours away from where I live. I have looked up the address of the hospital in North London (Highgate is it?) and hopefully they will let me stay in a nearby hotel instead of at the hospital. That way I can stay with my boyfriend overnight and he can drive me home!

xx

jo, you got that money so that your mum could give you what you wanted!!

Just dont rush and hand over money kayteelouu until youre 100% hun but I think you can have many options but We did it that way. How much you get a loan for will have to be decided on application though hun xx

I’m travelling from Blackpool to Preston for my op which isn’t too bad, but all my consultations/aftercare are in manchester xx

Thats what i like to think summer I know she would be pleased that I am finally doing it..thank you xx

Im going Highgate and all the consultations were in Holborn.. Im a day case so that I can stay at a hotel too with other half… Were all over the place with these msgs girls, ha!! xx

jo Im sure of it hun xx

lol..i know, there is smoke coming off my laptop haha xx

How far is the hospital then Jo?

The only part I’m worried about is if I do choose MYA, and have my operation, the check ups will be in Bristol which is 2 hours away.. pain in the butt having to travel 2 hours for a small check up! But it’s necessary so I’ll have to just grow a pair and drive myself! Lol

xx

Lol lots of messages!!

xx

the hospital is only about 40 mins away…but the clinic is about an hour and 15 mins away…it is a ballache having to go all that way for check ups xx

Dont worry girls, my check up is central london, so i cant drive their(holborn). so 2 trains later i am their, for my pre op, i left my hous at 915am and got home at 5pm. bloody long day just to take my blood preasure haha. xx

I had my consultation a week ago in manchester shazzy but as the nurse had already left i have to go back 2morra for my pre op…its a right pain although not as bad as yours lol xx

hi kayteelouu, i cant have my ba till september due to paying a car off but im going to start paying off lil amounts to mya each month starting end of april then at end of august apply for a loan for the rest i owe and have my ba at some point in sept and start my loan payments at the end of september as you have to start paying a month after you sign for your loan! thats my plan anyway! lol so yeah u can pay lil payments up untill ur op x

So that post I sent about paying 400 for deposit and then paying off a bit more when I have the money would be okay?

xx

Know what you mean Shazzy, I’ve gotta go to Holborn too. Except I am driving. (That’ll be an experience through central London) Am I mad!! Takes at least 2 hours (without traffic) just to have blood pressure etc taken then back there again a week after op just for a quick check up. Long way to go hey! x

yeah should be fine my pc told me i can do that, id rather do it that way so then ive paid it and i wont be tempted to have it at home building up and thinking hmm il spend it lol! ive been told today you have to have all your payments sorted 21 days b4 your op so as long as uve got ur loan or savings etc sorted before then ur fine x

This was the last discussion on arnica
