Hi Girls, I have my consultation with my surgeon tonight which is when I will most probably book my surgery date!
I am the world’s biggest wimp when it comes to this and I am so so scared but have waited so long to finally get some confidence! Can someone advise me on how to keep my cool, is it as bad as I think it is going to be? what is the pain like when you wake up? I am more nervous for the GA as I have never been put too sleep before!
Thanks x
Having a GA was one of my phobias , I had put this opp off for 8 years because I was so terrified ( im a nurse and have seen people been put tonsleep alot as a student put me off)
I can honestly say it was nothing at all to worry about most people say its a nice feeling. I can remmeber the ansethatist talking to me and a lady holding my hand then i felt heavy in my arms . Two seconda later i woke up pain free in recovery xxx
Oh perfect! That makes me feel so much better! Thank you xxx
Ahh bless you I read this and it made me think of me I’m excactly the same
I have my op 13th feb and am so scared I got put to sleep last year and wasn’t as bad as what I thought but still being put to sleep again scares the life out of me am so nervous you will be fine xx
I had never had one before, but they’re so professional and the most experienced doctors. I was surprisingly calm on the day and just went with the flow. In the weeks running up to it I had some really irrational fears about the GA but it was honestly nothing at all to worry about. I had the best sleep ever in what seemed about 5 minutes and when I woke up, I felt a bit spaced but I was like ‘have I even had an operation!?’…. Oh yeah, boobs! Lol!
You’ll have a whole range of emotions and that’s totally natural, but there is no need to worry x
Don’t worry everything will be fine! xx
That has really helped with my nerves! Everyone is saying that they were worried over nothing once they woke up!xx
Hiya Hun I’m terrified of needles but honestly the day itself is an absolute breeze in my opinion, I had a little scratch in the back of my hand and woke up with fab boobies lol, good luck with your consultation x 🙂
Thank you so much Kelly! xx
Hi Shannon just had my op this morning and I feel absolutely fine. Don’t even remember anything after tha cannula going in. No pain so far. Had tea and toast. No sickness either.
Hope this helps. Ps I was a bit nervous walking to theatre though but they were all lovely.
That’s amazing well done bet you are so happy you are all done now! Thank you, that really helps me x
