Back again – journey home after ba?

Was meant to get my ba nearly a year ago now but due to personal issues been unable to do so… starting the BA process again supper excited – has any one got their BA miles away from home if so how did you cope on the journey home

Thanks xx

Hiya, I’m in Scotland and had my opp done in Birmingham, I was an overnight case, got out of surgery at 3pm couldn’t keep anything down til next morning at which I had to leave at 10am.. I was on my own so had pain relief from nurse at 7ish and no more after that as I found it made me sleepy.. car journey to airport was half an hour a little rough on those back roads and bumps.. driver was very careful though.. then I had to sit at the airport and wait.. I ate some crisps as was starting to feel sick..i wished I had packed just normal paracetamol for the nagging pain but hadn’t oops.. the worst bit was sitting on the seats at the airport that are all attached as other people getting up and down from there seats or kicking there feet was felt in my boobs as was most unpleasent.. my flight boarded luckily I was first on and had a front seat so easy peasy.. flight was a little scary found myself breathing in through my nose, holding amd letting out, a lot!! Couldn’t reach the airflow twist thing above my head.. luckily was not to hot and kept calm.. landing was much better on way home thankgod.. then I was a car journey home which took about 1hour 20 mins.. that was ok as hubby was careful and our car is very comfy.. the worst bit was my hand luggage I would say.. Take as little as u need coz carrying it around is not comfortable, and walking is sooo much slower.. hope this helps hun. Xx

Hey thank you really helpful don’t know how you did that, the thought of all that travelling makes me feel ill.. I panic about silly things my mum said she will travel with me; I just have visions of being in absolute agony, how big cc did you get if you don’t mind me asking last consultation I got told I could get max 415 overs xx

Thanks hun, I didn’t really have a choice as have kids and hubby had to look after them really and no pain no gain they say ay lol.. I’ve had 2 B/A’s now first was 465 & 495 after breastfeeding kids and being very saggy.. then 2nd ba was to replace pip ruptured implant so went bitter as only had to pay for implant upgrade and flights so went to 615cc.. I have pics if ya wanna add me hun xx

Hi hun, i travelled about an hour for my op and took a pillow between myself and the seatbelt.
The nurses at the hospital were fab and made sure i could sit up, eat and walk up and down the corridor before letting me leave. If you feel sick they can give you anti-sickness as i always get sick from anesthetic but i didn’t with my BA xx

wow Laura 615 i thought 410 was big 😛 I have been watching my tattoo nightmare think its called where a woman had a ba and regretted being so big I started to panic thinking what if they do look huge but maybe im just panicking about everything! aww no how soon after did you have to have a reop? xx

Hey Francesca thanks for replying i have only ever had really bad experiences from anaesthetic but it was the pain that i was more concerned about think it will only be a 3hr drive if i do go to Liverpool to get it done but suppose it must be bearable otherwise people wouldn’t do it xx

410 is big hun defo… just with having kids I had a lot to fill out and didn’t want a lift..had my 1st set 4 nearly 6 years so not to bad, just glad I went with THG as there aftercare was great and wouldn’t have new ones if it wernt for them. I watched that tattoo hell too hun. Think she myst of had +1000cc at least. . Depends what’s big for each person. .. I don’t think mines look that big especially in pics xx

Glad your happy now ive added u…. Yeh hers were huge… it was the other lady that made me more worried because she spoke about not getting too big implants but she looked big all round after and she was toned as hell… don’t want to end up looking fat because at the moe i have a little waist and big arse and quiet thick thighs maybe ill just have to try shift some meat before i get it done… trying to get it done asap as start uni in sep and want to be fully healed before hand xx

hey hun me and my sister are both getting our BA on 9th April in manchester we are also travelling from Scotland on the train. its a little worrying as its about a 6 hour journey but it will all be worth it eeekkk 🙂 xx

Wow.. that’s a little bit erm Brave.. an hour on the plane in one place was hard enough. ..just make sure and keep there stockings on til home and walk about on train regularly.. least there’s 2 of you oh take snacks 4 journey back as may get nausea and keep travel bag as light as possible. Xx good luck 4 april xx

OMG i know we must be mad @Laura lol. i didnt think you could fly after your op? how did you find that? i migh look into that instead. which hospital where you at? xx

Yer mad is the word lol.. when I had my opp nearly 6 years ago with The Hospital group the sorted transport in my costs and had me on a flight there and flight back then next day so I never thought it was an issue so when I went for re op 10days ago I only had to cover implant as wanted better ones and sort travel out and given I couldn’t drive that far.. I figured flying would be fine as it was last time.. they gave me a safe to travel letter and knew I was flying.. I’m pretty sure that flying was easier than taking a train as I couldn’t be arsed with a train, long uncomfortable and stuck on it for ages. . No thanks lol.. my implants only ruputured at end of last year after 5 and half years due to being pips… ring and ask your PC hun see what they think..

I will be doing train with my niece coming with me, only about an hour so hope it won’t be too bad xx

@susan, nope an hour should be easy peasy lol x and ya niece can carry ya bag so bonus, good luck for when u get it done x

I travelled a 5 hpur journey home n just laided on the bk seat x

Hi, i had my BA last Tuesday in Preston which is about 2 hours from my home. I was told during consolation that i couldn’t fly for 4 weeks and advised against public transport due to the risk of being knocked into. I stayed at a nearby hotel the night after the operation then travelled home the next day by car and was fine. Good luck! xx
