hey all 🙂
my last topic was me contemplating between 250cc and 275cc with my very petite frame. but when i got there and spoke to my surgeon (Mr Mileto – who was absolutely fantastic) suggested 275cc because i was going under the muscle and he said he doesn’t want me to be disappointed.
the whole team at harley health village (london) was absolutely amazing! admission time was 730am. the recpetion bit looked really boujee as you come in and sign some forms but the room not so much lol. it was pretty standard. anyway, the nurse went through some questions with me, took a urine same, and checked my weight. then met the anesthetist who again ran through some questions and told me what would happen. then met the surgeon where we confirmed which size and he did some drawings on me. then at around 9am, the ODP (anesthetic assistant) came in ti escort me and i was already walking into theatres.
cannula went in and i drifted off pretty nicely. i even remember saying “goodnight, have fun” lol.
next thing, i woke up in my room with the anesthetist checking my vitals (blood pressure, oxygen levels). i wasnt in any pain as such, but the uncomfortable sensation of the tightness on my chest. and from then i was so in and out of it. i was offered food which was a sandwich, crisp and a drink (which you got to choose when you sign your forms at reception). i was given a muscle relaxant tablet at around 1045/11. i was then discharged at around 1:30pm after they gave me my meds to take home.
the whole day i was in and out of it. took more tablets around 3pm when i got home after eating. but threw up at around 6pm when i walked to the toilet. i reckon it was because the meds made me really really drowsy and it was the movement too. called the emergency line where an on-call nurse called me back and said not to worry and advised me to take my meds one at a time giving 1.5hrs-2hrs gap in between.
after that i was fine. i ate a bit more and kept falling in and out of sleep. woke up today sore af! it definitely feels much tighter than yesterday and im struggling to sit up and move my arms. i couldnt even flush the toilet and pump the soap onto my hands. its still early morning rn, im anticipating the pain to get worse over the next few days! i’ll keep you guys posted and i’ll upload photos xxx
