Crampyxx – My Story & Pics So Far………x

Post Op Size: 32c

Stats: Size 8-10, 59.1 Kgs (9.3 Stone), 5ft 6″, Age 30

Op Date: Tuesday 8th November, Highgate London

Surgeon: Dr Chantarasak

Implant Details: 365cc Natrelle High Profile Soft Touch Overs

Pre Op

So, after 10 years of wanting this done I finally took the plunge to vist someone back in May this year, I saw people at Transform & Mya – Didn’t like Transform, felt like a number rather than a patient, so opted with Mya, my patient co-ordinator was the lovely Hannah Gibson. In total I saw 4 surgeons, I decided on Dr Chantarasak because he focuses on what I hated about my natural boobs, nothing in middle, wide and all at side, he was a man of litle words, but those he spoke made sense.

My best friend Aimee (who now lives 130 or so miles from me) had the same insecurities about her boobs as me and became a part of my journey too, she too decided on Dr C, op on the same day at Highgate

Weeks before the op all those questions you drive yourself mad with kept cropping up, what size, what implant, what to take etc, and honestly this forum proved to be a god send, answered all I needed and so many girls on here are so so lovely, Reg7, Jellybean, Tina, Princess to name just a few, thank you to u all ur support has been amazing! xx

4 Days prior to op – Admission Time Given 8am eeeeeeeeeek!!

Day Before the Op

Time off work booked, Bag packed, Nerves kick in! My best friend arrived early evening on the Monday to stay at mine, we decide to have a mass pig out for our ‘last supper’ a massive chippy ensued nooooooooooooooom!!!! went to bed early as we had to leave at 5.30am to give plenty of time to get to London from Basingstoke.

Day of the Op

OMFGGGGGG!! I wake up in disbelief really that the day has finally come, I’m always someone whose never thirsty but was craving drink grrrr damn brain games! We arrived early at the hospital 7.15am so had plenty of time, me and Aimee were ecstactic to see they’d put us in conjoining rooms (how great is that) so we had each other to stare at hahaha! We were visited by a nurse who asked a million and one questions, made us do pregnancy tests (eeeek relief it was negative) and weighed and measured us (I weighed less than i thought, and after that chippy the nite before – BONUS ) we were then given our sexy gowns and even sexier stockings (twit twoo) and the piece de la resistance, PAPER PANTS! hahaha, the anaestatist then came in to see us, and we were then frequesntly visited by a lovely nurse called Irmina, so chatty and lovely!! Dr C then came in to measure me up, I ordered natrelles in both soft touch and responsive as well as cui in 365’s and told him to choose, he decided to go with responsives, however i was pretty annoyed when he called from the theatre 5 mins later to say responsives hadnt arrived so i will discuss this with the coordinator as this wasnt mine or Dr. C’s fault, so he went ahead with the soft touch.

I got called down about 10.15, my stomach almost dropped to the floor and i started shaking, and cried a little in anaestectic room, however they were lovely and we chatted about football and next thing i knew i was asleep and waking up, apparently my best friend came to see me as I was coming round (she was due in next eeek) but I didnt remember bless her, she was upset and i was like a drunk passed out hahaha! I remember looking down and thinking thank god, my dreams where i’d imagined waking up to 2 tropical coloured beach balls didnt happen

As Aimee went in I was wheeled back to the room and slept for a while, I woke up when Aimee came back, and also kept asking my fella about his trip to the pub??? (god knows why) hahaha but spent majority of day in and out of sleep. Finally had some lovely soup and immense white choc and strawberry cheesecake Because we were day case, we decided to leave about 4pm, we were never rushed, could have left when we wanted, staff were wonderful at Highgate.

We then (well our fellas did) drove only 1.6 miles to stay at the Roseview Hotel, which was lovely however that was the longest drive ever, so many road humps and potholes!!! the pain i had wasnt bad pain, more a real dull ache on my ribs and lower boobs, here we got comfy and began the sleeping upright, wasnt so bad to start with, FAMOUS LAST WORDS!!! The men got us KFC’s nom and we went to sleep.

Sleep since then has been intermittent, every couple of hours, i cannot stress how much I didnt expect the sleeping upright to affect me, for me this has been the worst part of the op, and I swear to anyone, Vincent the V Pilow and Hary the Hot Water Bottle have become mates for life

Post Op – Day One

Woke in hotel, very stiff, but just wanted a snack and to get home and to remove the itchy bandage and see what hid underneath!

The drive wasnt good more bumps and bumps!

However got home in one piece and was very happy, I had to close my eyes at first as was scared to look but considering it was day 1 i was chuffed! they didntg look fake or massive, just right for my frame, there was quite a bit of blood on the patch under right boob and not much on left so decided to keep an eye on that.

Put the macom on, ick, hate it, very restrictive but kept it on! At this point I was feeling fine and got my appetite back, hence I had another chippy (Nom) I love chips, thewn went to bed. That nite was hell! sleeping upright is hell hell hell! Boob pain/ache bearable, sleeping upright back pain and bum ache arrrrrrrrrrgh!!

Post Op – Day Two

Well I woke up and apart from the back and bum ache, felt quite ok in myself, ribs and lower boobs had a dull ache but bearable however this didnt last, after an hour I came across all nauseous and well I threw up 4 times, not good I was scared Id rip my stitches, scared becuase it was my first day on my own and basically scared in general. I called the clinic and spoke with the nurse, threw up whilst speaking to her too, oh the shame, she then advised me to stop taking the painkillers and to take paracetamol and ibuprofen instead. I was scared to swallow anything by this point but luckily after this call, I moved my v pillow to the settee and removed the restrictive macom bra where I fell asleep for some time.

I woke up and my bloke had just got home from work, worried as I hadnt replied to him all afternoon, I had a mini melt down then, and bless him he waited hand and foot all night, the meltdown I think was more the being scared, being sick and feeling alone that day, not the boob pain, as said before it was the back pain from the sleeping distressing me most. I then fell asleep in the evening at about 9/10 and didnt wake til 7am the next day – Obviously needed.

Post Op – Day Three – Today

Woke up at 7am hungry (always a good sign for me haha)

however Id slept thru the night , the settee, Vincent V Pillow and Harry Hot Water Bottle got me thru it! After some toast although still strangely tired am far better than yesterday, back ache still remains but is being helped and even boob ache has gone down, a little pulling though, but have managed to get the macom bra back on too! Also managed to have a little baby wipe wash and brush my hair so feel a little more human.

Came on here to lots of lovely messages from lots of girlies, including one from the Mya Mod offering help shud I require, thank you Mod! The nurse also called to check on me too and was happy to hear I sounded better and not throwing up down the fone to her this time. :S

Blimey I’ve rattled on, I am sorry, but hopefully it’s an insight for you all, any questions do let me know, I’m now simply resting on the settee watching boring daytime tv so need the company

I shall update this as often as I can!

Hugs Jo (Crampyxx) xx

Feeling better today, apart from the arrrrgh i’ll say again lower back pain from the sleeping, I do have a headache but can handle that rather than sickness.

Post Op – Day Four

So woke up this morning after a mammoth 10 hour sleep – Not done that since I was a teenager !! Was a bit stiff as normal however hoorah, back ache from sleeping upright wasnt so bad, think it’s because I found a position at a slight angle, supported by Vincent V Pillow, Harry Hot Water Bottle & Sid the Settee once again – aww thanks guys !

This is the first day that I’ve been able to feel my nips (as theyve been numb)and grrr they have that sunburnt feeling and are proper hot and irritate the bra, so as advised by some of u lovely ladies Ive placed some cotton wool pads over them with some bio oil on them, which is helping with the rubbing (o)(o)

Got up for the usual walk around and relieved that erm all belly motions have returned to normal however I’ve had a headache since yesterday that I can’t seem to shake off grrrrrr!

After lunch as I was getting fed up with bathing via baby wipe so I decided to brave my first bath , a shallow one but it was luuuuuuuuuuurvely, also washed my hair too so I no longer feel or look like Frankie Cocozza after too many coca colas

Hugs Crampy xx

Post Op – Day Five

Woke up this morning still with the headache grrrrrrrr! Still hating the sleeping upright but getting used to the bad back now!!!

Well that burny feeling my nips had yesterday has subsided (I’m not sure if that’s temporary or will come back) the cotton wool pads with bio oil on them really helped with them rubbing against the macom (Thanks ladies for that advice )

I’m beginning to no longer walk around like a hunch back too, been very strangely walking bent over with my hand over belly as some sort of comfort thing :S

Along with the bath and lovely hair wash yesterday, today I’ve painted my nails, so slowly normality is resuming, it’s the little things you really appreciate during the recovery process! I may even venture on a small walk to the shop with the man in a bit, need some air, however I have noticed that these tasks like the bath, hair, nails etc really do still take it out of me so will still be taking it very easy!

Taken my last antibiotic this morning too YAY they tasted rank!!!!

I’ve now added day 4 & 5 pics, do please let me know ur opinions, it may be just me but I swear my boobs look bigger today it may just be that they are settling, so far I do really like them but still not trying to get too attached as it’s still very early days, had more of a feel of them today too, still numb haha I wanna feel my twins!!!

Hugs Jo (Crampyxx) xxxxx

Your so funny! I also was walking round like hunch back what is that all a bout must be adjusting to heaviness. but got back ache today xxx

hahahaha!! just been on my first walk outdoors to re-stock on magazines (oooh some scandal to read in Take A Break!!!! )

I walked slower than an 80 year old, slightly hunched and holding my belly for comfort hahahahaha i must have looked like the usual hungover drunk on a sunday haha xx

Post Op – 1 Week

Happy 1 week birthday to Ron & Reg

Well I can’t believe it’s been a week already! Ron and Reg are coming along fine so far anyway, still got the post op appointment to have yet I’m starting to love them lots, much to my annoyance of not wanting to get attached as I know many changes still ahead!

Am still however suffering terribly with my lower back from the sleeping upright, I’m fantasising about lying on my back again (and for the non naughty sense of the phrase too!!! nudge nudge, then again, that would be nice too) hahahaha!!!

Had a bit of a meltdown again yest, not the boobie blues, just felt alone at times, I live miles from my good friends so it’s been hard not having a visit from anyone so like a sausage I felt quite sorry for myself, especially when 2 friends i’ve made down here blew off coming to visit – bugger their christmas cards then haha! I think I’d have been really lost if it wasnt for some of the girls on this forum :o)

Day 6 & 7 pics added, as always any comments welcome as always xxx

They are looking fan-dabbie-dozzy my lovely!!!

Awww cramps so sorry you been lonley chick, but like you say there are us girls on here to keep you company, im sure I would have been more down if I didnt have this forum…..I had my melt down yesterday too, kept crying 😥 feel bit better today! xxxxxx
