you could be half hour or a few hours, i went down to room at 11, but my admission wasn’t till half past. In between that time and going to theater I was seen by nurse, 2 anesthetists and my surgeon. I went down to theater at half 2. The nurse will go over medical history, take temperature, blood pressure. Anesthetist will listen to chest and take pulse. Surgeon will go over what implants your having, sign some papers and draw on you. Then you will wait to be taken down by another nurse and have canular put in hand and mask to put you to sleep. Then you will wake up back in your bed with boobs! The nurse will then take your blood pressure every half hour and you will have something to eat. I was allowed out at a minimum of 3 hours, as soon as it got too that time I left, as i felt amazing. i’m 4 days post op and still feeling fab 😀 I was at Pretson though so can’t help with that. You should take dressing gown and slippers to go to theater in, i was really nervous before but I had a fantastic experience as soon as i got there I was just so excited. Good luck hun x
