Oh right!:) what size you having if you dont mimd me asking?:) and yes ive had my admission time for over a month!:) xx
I’m at Doncaster on the 12th ! Not long now, I’m so nervous! When do you get your admission time ? X
I know its sooo close now! You got everything you need? And ive not gone with mya i went straight to clinic instead thats probably why i have my admission time 🙂 xx
If you’ve had it a month, you’re not a MYA patient then? I can’t wait to get mine but won’t get that til next week. I am currently a 32b and having 275 HP overs. How about you? xx
Nope im not just gone straight through natural look clinic:) oh right!:) im currently and 32 a/b and having 325 hp unders xx
Hi Georgia…..not long for us now. ….it seems much sooner when you think of it as next week…..gives me butterflies just typing it haha … u excited? X
I know only 10 days away!! I am sooo scared though!:( i feel like im gonna end uo backing out at the last minute as im such a wuss!!
Let me know when you find out your admission time! You excitied? Or more nervous? Xx
@georgiak I am soooo excited and worryingly not even a little nervous right now. As soon as I know my admission time, I will post it on here. Not got everything I need yet. I have heard a few people mention arnica and hibiscrub which I still need to get along with a v pillow and I need to order my Macom bra. I have bought lots of sports bras though haha…are either of you prepared @georgiak @sharnamorton x
Okay good!:). And i think i’m prepared! Ive got arnica tablets, im gonna start taking them like 3 days before maybe and the hibi scrub, i got my v pillow from argos for £9.99 and im using it now its really good for the price! My macom bra came the other day..seriously the ugliest thing ive ever seen! The nipple area on it is literally see through! Haha, how many sports bras you got? Because ive only got macom and a zip front one from m&s which i already think is too small! Xx
@katrina84 Yeah I think I’ve nearly got everything got my vpillow from dunelm was £15 but it’s a teddy bear one so it was a must lol. I still need arnica tablets and hibicrub too. I’ve got a macom & 2 sport bras from asda only £7 that’s what pc advised me to get so I’ll see how I get on & buy more post op. I’m not quite sure what im feeling yet I get excited but then so scared at the same time haha not long now, can’t wait to find out my admission time xx
I spent ages looking at sports bras lol….found some nice ones in TK Maxx at good prices. I can’t decide which colour Macom to get. I was thinking the nude colour one as you can wear it under all clothes but not keep on the colour of it haha…what colour did u girls go for? X
I got the nude one.. It is ugly but i think it will be the best one for when under clothes:) Xx
Yeah my macom only took like 3 days, dont forget the MYA2015 discount!:) I think next week will drag like mad though!:/ and yeah i havent got dry shampoo yet either, i can’t believe im actually having it done! Ha xx
@georgiak @sharnamorton.thank you Macom ordered …just as well too ..I forgot about the upcoming bank hols….are you ladies day cases or overnighters? X
Did you go with the nude? Haha, and just a day case:) i live in doncaster so its okay for me, you? Xx
I got a black one, not actually sure why haha xx
@georgiak @sharnamorton I got a nude one lol. I am only a day case coming from Leeds so not too far….9 days girls…single figures now 🙂 x
Would any of you two know.. I’ve read posts on here about medical reports and girls having to rebook their op because they not got it from doctors in time? Mya told me they would contact my doctors to let them know I was having the op & that was it? They didn’t say I have to chase it up… Don’t want to miss my op!! Xx
If the macoms okay, ill probs order a black one, just hope its okay alot of people say there not comfy, and im not sure on that one, clinic have not sId anything to me about contacting my doctors xx
@sharnamorton @georgiak I haven’t been asked to chase anything up however I did find out today that MYA don’t recommend taking arnica tablets before surgery as it thins the blood. The same reason they recommend you don’t have nicotine. I guess the thinning of the blood delays the incisions healing and increases the risk of infection. I spoke to a MYA nurse who told me they don’t recommend taking it pre op. I thought it strange the boots pharmacist was being a bit strange about giving me them and referred me to speak to my clinic. I got my V Pillow today though and some other bits such as button up pj’s/nightshirt and the hibiscrub and my Macom will be delivered tomoz. I am so excited the 10th can’t come quick enough for me 🙂 x
Oh god good job you said! I just assumed it was okay to take them as ive seen alot of people on here say they have and it helped loads with bruising! Think i’ll wait until after now! Xx
@georgiak I thought it was ok too so was really shocked when the pharmacist started to ask all sorts of questions…..it was like I was trying to buy some strong drug lol. I am glad though otherwise I wouldn’t have checked with the nurse. I did look them up online first and they are a herbal remedy to which some scientists say there is no proof they help with swelling or bruising so I aren’t too bothered with taking them. Any swelling and bruising will go over time…x
Hi Georgia, I’m at Doncaster on the 10th too! I don’t have my time yet though, when did you get yours through? Xx
@Katrina84 Yeah true they not even proven to work, ive bought them already so i’ll just use them after the op, gonna go shopping soon for some pain killers as well seen as you dont get many given when you leave! Xx
@bethanyfrain yayyy! ..i got mine ages ago but i’ve gone straight with natural look clinic thats why xx
@sharnamorton @katrina84 you had your admission times yet?:D xx
And @bethanyfrain you got your admission time? Xx
@georgiak No….I just rang MYA about half hour ago and they said they haven’t got them yet but it will most likely be tomorrow. She did say I would get an email, text and call to confirm the time so all is good and hopefully I can update my time on here tomoz. I am hoping early morning x
Ohh okay..surely you need to find out tomorrow no later abit ridiculous if you found out thursday! Haha, i feel terried right now! The days are dragging so much these last few days! How you getting on? Xx
@georgiak. I have been easily irritated the past week but that has eased off now however I had a little panicking moment yesterday when I realised after Friday, I can never go back to how I am now if I don’t like them….lol. Then I realised it’s a small risk that something will go wrong and the thought of it going right really outweighs that risk. How about u? And u @sharnamorton x
Nooo still haven’t got mine either but I rang the other day and they said I should find out a couple of days before. So nervous now though haha is anyone else xx
@katrina84 i know what you mean i have too! Ive been really moody! Haha, im trying not to think of the risks… But everythings going to be fine! Haha, friday needs to hurry up! Xx
@georgiak @bethanyfrain @sharnamorton It’s soo exciting still though. I just know Thursday at work will go soooo sloooooww lol. I hope we all get similar times. As much as friends and family can be great, they dont fully understand how u feel so it’s nice to know other ppl that r feeling the same.x
Yeah im very nervous beth! Yeah i hope we do get similar times too! I dont know what i would have done without this forum its helped me loads, and well im off work, work in a school and its holidays, so i keep finding myself with nothing to do haha xx
@georgiak @katrina84 I’m currently waiting for the post man hoping my admission time comes through door haha I’m feeling excited actually, more excited than nervous I think… I’ll let you know girls when I get my time:) xxx
@bethanyfrain hope you don’t mind the add xx
@sharnamorton Any luck? Xx
Just had a text from natural look asking me to come in earlier at 7am now! She said they need to start earlier this week, so there probably sorting times out now xx
@georgiak @sharnamorton @bethanyfrain Ok so I just got my time and I am quite gutted. I didn’t want to stay overnight and hoped I would get an early appointment but instead I got 6pm….the email says surgery could be up to 6 hours after this time. So i can’t eat from 12 noon. …may not have surgery while midnight and the best case scenario is I may be discharged just before midnight so I van endure a car ride home. Really not what I was hoping for at all but what can I do…jeez I don’t know what is wrong with me but I am feeling pretty emotional and panicky about things and now even more so lol. Think I need to pull myself together and be positive x
@Katrina84 yeah my email said 5pm I’m pretty gutted too really don’t want to stay overnight, plus do we have to pay more if we do stay over? A friend told me we do but I hope not. I’m feeling the same though, just think it will all be worth it xx
@bethanyfrain My PC said if they say i have to stay overnight for medical reasons, I won’t be charged but thing is….I don’t think they allow anyone to stay with u and it’s too much to expect my boyfriend to drive back home that late and then back again the next day to pick me up. Not only that but I keep thinking the later the appointment, the longer the delay u will have cos u suffer all the delays from appointments earlier that day. Just want to be able to go back home to my bed with my family and my son but guess I will have to arrange for my son to stay at my mums overnight now 🙁 I would have thought they would put all overnighters on late appointments and day cases early appointments…that makes the most sense to me. X
@georgiak @katrina84 @bethanyfrain hey girls not all that bad mines at 7pm!! These times are day cases, I asked my nurse if my time was an overnight stay & she said no so glad I didn’t wanna stay over night! I’m so excited 🙂 xxx
